divine-mercy-in-my-soul

1739 Write, My daughter, that I am mercy itself for the contrite soul. A soul‟s greatest
wretchedness does not enkindle Me with wrath; but rather, My Heart is moved towards
it with great mercy.
1740 O my Jesus, give me strength to endure suffering so that I may not make a wry face when I
drink the cup of bitterness. Help me Yourself to make my sacrifice pleasing to You. May it
not be tainted by my self-love, even though it extend over many years. May purity of
intention make it pleasing to You, fresh and full of life. This life of mine is a ceaseless
struggle, a constant effort to do Your holy will; but may everything that is in me, both my
misery and my strength, give praise to You, O Lord.
(99) The Infinite Goodness of God in the
Creation of the Angels.
1741 O God, who are happiness in Your very self and have no need of creatures to make You
happy, because of Yourself You are the fullness of love; yet, out of Your fathomless mercy
You call creatures into being and grant them a share in Your eternal happiness and in Your
life, that divine indwelling life which You live, One God in Three Persons. In Your
unfathomable mercy, You have created angelic spirits and admitted them to Your love and to
Your divine intimacy. You have made them capable of eternal love. Although You bestowed
on them so generously, O Lord, the splendor of love and beauty, Your fullness was not
diminished in the least, O God, nor have their love and beauty completed You, because You
are everything in Yourself. And if You have allowed them to participate in Your happiness
and to exist and to love You, that is only due to the abyss of Your mercy. This is Your
unfathomable goodness, for which they glorify You without end, (100) humbling themselves
at the feet of Your majesty as they chant their eternal hymn: Holy, Holy, Holy …..
1742 Be praised, merciful God, One God in the Holy Trinity,
` Unfathomable, infinite, incomprehensible,
Immersing themselves in You, their minds cannot comprehend You,
So they repeat without end their eternal: Holy.
Be glorified, O merciful Creator of ours, O Lord,
Omnipotent, but full of compassion, inconceivable.
To love You is the mission of our existence,
Singing our eternal hymn: Holy……
Be blessed, merciful God, Eternal Love.
You are above the heavens, the sapphires, the firmaments.
Thus the host of pure spirits glorifies You,
With its eternal hymn: Thrice Holy.
And, gazing upon You, face to face, O God,
I see that You could have called other creatures before them.
Therefore they humble themselves before You in great humility,
For well they see that this grace comes solely from Your mercy.
(101) One of the most beautiful spirits would not recognize Your mercy,
And, blinded by his pride, he drew others after him.
Angel of great beauty, he became Satan
