Prayers of Saint Faustina :


To get the grace to be merciful to others

I want to transform into Your mercy and to be your living reflection. ¡O Lord! The greatest attributes, which is His unfathomable mercy, pass through my heart and soul to others.

Help me Lord, that my eyes may be merciful, so that I may never suspect or judge from appearances, but judge what is beautiful in others’ souls and help them.

Help me Lord that my ears may be merciful, so I see to others’ needs and not be indifferent to their pains and moanings.

Help me Lord that my tongue may be merciful, so never criticize others, but have a word of comfort and forgiveness for all.

Help me Lord, that my hands may be merciful and full of good works, that I may do only good to others and take over me the most difficult and painful tasks.

Help me Lord, that my feet may be merciful, so that I may hurry to assist others, overcoming my own fatigue and tiredness. My true rest is in the service of my neighbor.

Help me Lord, that my heart may be merciful so that I may feel all the suffering of my neighbor. I will refuse my heart to no one. I will be sincere even with those who I know will abuse my kindness. And I will lock myself up in the most merciful heart of Jesus. I will bear my own suffering in silence. May your mercy, O Lord, rest upon me”.

O my Jesus, transform me into Yourself, because you can do all things.(Diary 163).

 

For a Merciful Heart

O Jesus, I understand that Your mercy is beyond imagination and therefore I beg you make my heart so big that it can to contain all the souls who live on all the face of the earth. O Jesus, my love extends beyond to the suffering souls in purgatory ... Make my heart sensitive to the sufferings of my neighbor, whether of body or soul. Oh my Jesus, I know that You behave with us as we behave with others ... Make my heart like Your Merciful Heart (Diary, 692).
O Jesus, makes my heart like Yours, or rather transform it into Your own [heart] so I can feel the needs of other hearts, and especially those who suffer and are sad. Let the rays of mercy rest in my heart. (Diary, 514). Jesus, help me get through life doing good to the whole world (Diary, 692)

 

To reach the Divine Mercy for the whole world 

O God of great Mercy, infinite Goodness, and today all mankind calls out from the abyss of its misery to Your Mercy - to your Compassion, O God, and cry with the powerful voice of misery.

O indulgent God, do not reject the prayer of this earth’s exiles!  O Lord of inconceivable Goodness You know our misery and that by our own power we cannot ascend to You. We implore You to anticipate us with your grace, and incessantly multiplied Your Mercy in us, that we may faithfully do Your holy will all through our life and at death’s hour.
Let the omnipotence of Your mercy shield us from the darts of our salvation’s enemies, that we may with confidence, as Your children, await Your final coming that day known to you alone. And we expect to obtain everything promised us by Jesus in spite of all wretchedness. For Jesus is our Hope: Through His merciful heart, as through an open gate, we pass through to heaven. Amen. [Diary 1570]

 

For the sinners

Jesus, eternal truth, our life, I beg and implore Your mercy for poor sinners.   
 O sweetest Heart of  Lord, full of pity and unfathomable mercy, I beg You for
poor sinners. O Sacred Heart, Fountain of Mercy from which rays emerge through inconceivable graces on the entire human race, I beg You for light for poor sinners.  
 O Jesus, remember Your own bitter Passion and do not let loss the souls redeemed by Your precious, holly Blood.   
O Jesus, when I consider the high price of Your Blood, I rejoice in His immensity, because a single drop would have been enough for the salvation of all sinners.
 Although sin is an abyss of wickedness and ingratitude, the price paid for us can never be equaled. Therefore, let every soul trust in the Passion of the Lord, and place their hope in His mercy.  God will not deny His mercy to anyone. Heaven and earth may change, but God’s mercy will never end.  Oh, what immense joy burns in my heart when I contemplate Your unconceivable goodness, O Jesus! I want to bring all sinners to Your feet to glorify Your mercy for ever and ever. (diary,  72).

 

Prayer for Priests

"O my Jesus, I beg You for the whole Church: Grant it love and the light of Your Spirit, and give power to the words of Priests so that hardened hearts might be brought to repentance and return to You, O Lord.  Lord, give us holy Priests; You yourself maintain them in holiness.   O Divine and Great High Priest, may the power of Your mercy accompany them everywhere and protect them from the devil's traps and snares which are continually being set for the soul of Priests. May the power of Your mercy, O Lord, shatter and bring to naught all that might tarnish the sanctity of Priests, for You can do all things."(Diary 1052).  I beg You, OH Jesus, an special blessing and light for the priests before which I will confess during all my life (Daily, 240).

 

For Fidelity to God’s Will

O Jesus, tended on the cross, I implore you, give me the grace of faithfully fulfill the holly will of Your Father, in all things, always and everywhere. And when this God´s will seem to me very harsh and difficult to fulfill, it is then I beg you, Jesus, that flow from your wounds over me strength and my lips repeat, “ Lord, Your will be done, ” O savior of the world, Lover of man’s salvation, You, in such terrible torment and pain forget Yourself to think only in saving  souls,  compassionate Jesus, grant me the grace to forget myself that I may live totally for souls, helping you in the work of salvation, according to the holy will of your Father… (Diary 1265).

 

In Times of Suffering

Oh, if the suffering soul knew how much God loves it, it would die of joy and excess of happiness!  Someday, we will know the value of suffering, but then we will no longer be able to suffer. The present moment is ours (963).
Jesus, do not leave me alone in suffering. You know, Lord, how weak I am. I am an abyss of wretchedness, I am nothingness itself; so what could be so strange if You leave me alone and I fall? I am an infant, Lord, so I cannot get along by myself. However, beyond all abandonment I trust, and in spite of my own feeling I I trust, and I am being completely transformed into trust — often in spite of what I feel. Do not decrease any of my afflictions; only give me strength to bear them. Do with me as You please, Lord, only give me the grace to be able to love You in every event and circumstance. Lord, do not lessen my cup of bitterness, only give me strength that I may be able to drink it all (Diary 1489).

 

To receive Mercy in difficult moments

Oh Eternal God, in whom the mercy is infinite and the treasure of interminable compassion, returns us Your kind look and enlarges Your mercy in us, so that in difficult moments we do not  despair neither we discourage , but, with great confidence, we submit  to Your holy will, which is the Love and Mercy in themselves. (Diary 950)

O Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a fountain of unfathomable mercy for me in the hour of my death! . O dying Jesus, Hostage of mercy, appeased the Divine wrath at the hour of my death (Diary 813)...

O my Jesus, may the last days of my exile being totally according to Your holy will.

Your mercy will be everything for me at the last hour (Diary 1574).

O Mary … a terrible sword has pierced Your holy soul.  Except for God, no one knows of Your suffering. Your soul does not break; it is brave, because it is with Jesus. Sweet Mother, unite my soul to Jesus, because it is only then that I will be able to endure all trials and tribulations, and only in union with Jesus will my little sacrifices be pleasing to God.

Surrender of Worries
Author: Father Dolindo Ruotolo

Why do you  confused yourselves by worrings?
 Leave the care of your affairs to me and everything will be better for you. When you give Yourself to me, everything will be resolved peacefully according to my designs.  Do not despair; do not lead a hectic prayer, as if you would like to demand compliance of your wishes. Close your eyes and soul tell Me calmly: 'JESUS, I TRUST IN YOU.'

Avoid worries and anxieties and all thoughts about what may happen next. Do not ruin my plans by imposing your ideas. Let me be God and act freely. Let yourself in me confidently.  Rest on me and leave in my hands your future. Often tell Me:   'JESUS, I TRUST IN YOU.'


What most hurt you are your reasoning and your own ideas and wanting to solve things your way. . When you say 'JESUS, I TRUST IN YOU.', do not be like the patient who tells the doctor to heal him but suggests how. Let yourself go in my divine arms, do not be afraid, I LOVE YOU.

If you think things are getting worse or are complicated in spite of your praying, remain confident, close your soul’s eyes and trust. Continue saying to me at all time:'JESUS, I TRUST IN YOU.'

I need My hands to act freely. Do not tie me down with your unnecessary worries. Satan wants that: Agitate you, angst you and take your peace away. Trust only on Me, abandon yourself in Me. So, don not worry, Place all your worries in me and sleep peacefully.   Always tell me: 'JESUS, I TRUST IN YOU.'And you'll see big miracles.

I promise for My love.
