Jesus we Trust in You<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Those who sincerely say \u2018Jesus, I trust in You\u2019 will find comfort in all their anxieties and fears.There is nothing that man needs more than Divine Mercy \u2013 that love which is benevolent, which is compassionate, which raises man above his weakness to the infinite heights of the holiness of God.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pope St John Paul II<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You always console Me when you pray for sinners. The prayer most pleasing to Me is prayer for the conversion of sinners. Know, My daughter, that this prayer is always heard and answered<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My child, life on earth is a struggle indeed; a great struggle for My kingdom. But fear not, because you are not alone. I am always supporting you, so lean on Me as you struggle, fearing nothing. Take the vessel of trust and draw from the fountain of life for yourself, but also for other souls.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Daughter, when you go to confession, to this fountain of My mercy, the Blood and Water which came forth from My Heart always flows down upon your soul and ennobles it. Every time you go to confession, immerse yourself entirely in My mercy, with great trust, so that I may pour the bounty of My grace upon your soul. When you approach the confessional, know this, that I Myself am waiting there for you.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

O my God, I am conscious of my mission in the Holy Church. It is my constant endeavour to plead for mercy for the world. I unite myself closely with Jesus and stand before him as an atoning sacrifice on behalf of the world. God will refuse me nothing when I entreat him with the voice of his Son. My sacrifice is nothing in itself, but when I join it to the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, it becomes all-powerful and has the power to appease divine wrath. God loves us in his Son; the painful Passion of the Son of God constantly turns aside the wrath of God.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

O God, how I desire that souls come to know you and to see that you have created them because of your unfathomable love. O my Creator and Lord, I feel that I am going to remove the veil of heaven so that earth will not doubt your goodness.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make of me, Jesus, a pure and agreeable offering before the face of your Father. Jesus, transform me, miserable and sinful as I am, into your own self (for you can do all things), and give me to your eternal Father. I want to become a sacrificial host before you, but an ordinary wafer to people. I want the fragrance of my sacrifice to be known to you alone. O eternal God, an unquenchable fire of supplication for your mercy burns within me. I know and understand that this is my task, here and in eternity. You yourself have told me to speak about this great mercy and about your goodness.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
