celebration of the Feast (Diary, #742)… I am giving (souls) the last hope of salvation; that is, the Feast of My Mercy (Diary, # 965). No soul will be justified until it turns with confidence to My mercy, and this is why the first Sunday after Easter is to be the Feast of Mercy (Diary, # 570)… On the day of My feast, the Feast of Mercy, you will go through the whole world and bring fainting souls to the spring of My mercy. I shall heal and strengthen them (Diary, # 206)… I desire that the Feast of Mercy be a refuge and shelter for all souls, and especially for poor sinners. On that day, the very depths of My tender mercy are open. I pour out a whole ocean of graces upon those souls who approach the Fount of My Mercy (Diary, # 699). 2. Publicly Revere the Divine Mercy Image and Trust in God’s Mercy 347 I desire that the Image be publicly honored (Diary, # 414)… Look into the abyss of My mercy and give praise and glory to this mercy of Mine. Do it in this way: Gather all sinners from the entire world and immerse them in the abyss of My mercy. I want to give Myself to souls; I yearn for souls (Diary, # 206)… I desire that this Image (with the signature, ‘Jesus I trust in You’) be venerated, first in your chapel, and then throughout the world (Diary, # 47)… I want this Image which you will paint with a brush, to be solemnly blessed on the first Sunday after Easter; that Sunday is to be the Feast of Mercy (Diary, # 49)… I demand the worship of My mercy…through the veneration of this Image, which is painted. By means of this Image, I shall grant many graces to souls; so, let every soul have access to it (Diary, # 742, 570). Mankind will not have peace until it turns with trust to My mercy. Oh, how much I am hurt by a soul’s distrust! (Diary, # 300)… When a soul approaches Me with trust, I fill it with such an abundance of graces that it cannot contain them within itself, but radiates them to other souls (Diary, # 1074)… How painfully distrust of My goodness wounds Me! Sins of distrust wound Me most painfully (Diary, # 1076)… 347 Ibid., Faustina, Diary, # 47, 49, 742, 570, 206, 300, 1074, 1076. 207
