“All grace flows from mercy, and the last hour abounds with mercy for us. Let no one doubt concerning the goodness of God; even if a person’s sins were as dark as night, God’s mercy is stronger than our misery. One thing alone is necessary: that the sinner set ajar the door of his heart, be it ever so little, to let in a ray of God’s merciful grace, and then God will do the rest.” Divine Mercy in My Soul # 1507
In physics, horror vacui, or plenism(/ˈpliːnɪzəm/), commonly stated as “nature abhors a vacuum”, is a postulate attributed to Aristotle.
Divine Mercy plays out this in the spiritual realms.
Sin is a spiritual vacuum. It sucks the life, everything out of the soul. Sin kills the whole world with its void of life. Souls die in sin as completely as they would die if unprotected in the vacuum of space.
Jesus speaks to St. Faustina throughout Divine Mercy in My Soul of how Divine Mercy overcomes this deadly vacuum of sin. The sinful soul, dark as scarlet, devoid of all life like the vacuum of space, need only “set ajar the door of his heart, be it ever so little”, to break the vacuum of sin and let life abundant flow in.
Open a pickle jar, the first turn is sometimes nearly impossible. But, suddenly, a pop, air rushes in and it is easy to remove the lid. This is like that sinful soul, it seems impossible to turn the cap (repent). Once that seal is broken, the vacuum can never be brought about again. The hat can be resealed but never so tightly. It only takes a small crack though for God’s grace and Divine Mercy to rush in and fill the soul with its life giving breath.
In the slightest repentance, the smallest move of the most hardened and tightly lidded soul, to break the seal of sin, the shatter its binding power. In the slightest move of contrition and sorrow, the soul breaks the vacuum sin holds upon its heart. With the inrush of Divine Mercy, the hold of sin can never be so tight again.
Turn the lid, break the seal sin holds upon your heart. Let in God’s Divine Mercy, the life giving breath of fresh air and grace from the heart of Jesus. Break the vacuum and be raised from the dead. Just a crack, let God’s Grace, Love and Divine Mercy rush in and do the rest.
God spoke to me this morning, saying, “God’s Divine Mercy, pouring super-abundantly from the Father’s heart will fill any vacuum your sin has created. Even one with the vastness of the cosmos.”
““My Secretary, write that I am more generous toward sinners than toward the just. It was for their sake that I came down from Heaven; it was for their sake that My Blood was spilled. Let them not fear to approach Me; they are most in need of My mercy”.” Divine Mercy in My Soul # 1275
“Let the greatest sinners place their trust in My mercy. They have the right before others to trust in the abyss of My mercy. My daughter, write about My mercy towards tormented souls. Souls that make an appeal to My mercy delight Me. To such souls I grant even more graces than they ask.” Divine Mercy in My Soul # 1146
“My daughter, write that the greater the misery of a soul, the greater its right to My mercy; urge all souls to trust in the unfathomable abyss of My mercy, because I want to save them all.” Divine Mercy in My Soul # 1645
