“You Yourself command me to exercise the three degrees of mercy.
The first: the act of mercy, of whatever kind.
The second: the word of mercy – if I cannot carry out a work of mercy, I will assist by my words.
The third: prayer – if I cannot show mercy by deeds or words, I can always do so by prayer.
My prayer reaches out even there where I cannot reach out physically. “
Divine Mercy in my soul # 163
