What time is it? No, don’t look at your watch, look at your Bible, look at your copy of St. Faustina’s diary (go to the Catalog page on on my blog to get a copy of you don’t already have one).
“Behold, now is the acceptable time; behold, now is the day of salvation,” 2 Corinthians 6:2
What’s the particular and important message that God wants to give to us in our modern time through St. Faustina? Simple. He wants to remind us of the heart of Sacred Scripture, namely, His mercy for us sinners. In fact, He’s saying to us sinners, “Now is the time of mercy. Now is a time of extraordinary mercy! Now is a time when I want give especially great graces to the human race. I want to pour out My mercy in a big way.”
God’s Divine Mercy is like water, it finds the lowest place and rests. God doesn’t love us or give us His mercy because we are good but because He is Love and Mercy. God gave up everything to come to earth as the Good Shepherd in search of the lost sheep. He didn’t come for the righteous or the sanctified. He came the sinner to make him/her righteous and to sanctify them.
“But where sin abounded, grace abounded much more”. Romans 5:20
He came for me despite where I’ve been and the sins I committed and still commit – in fact, He came specifically because of those sins.
God’s graces and mercy are more than we ask for, He desires to give more than we ask for. He desires to give every last drop of His most precious blood.
“There is nothing more man needs than Divine Mercy” St. Pope John Paul II at Shrine of Divine Mercy in Cracow, Poland on June 7, 1997
Take hold of all God offers in Divine Mercy! It’s easy, just trust.
“Jesus, I trust in You”
