On
one occasion, I heard these words: "My daughter, tell the whole
world about My inconceivable mercy. I desire that the Feast of Mercy
be a refuge and shelter for all souls, and especially for poor
sinners. On that day the very depths of My tender mercy are open. I
pour out a whole ocean of graces upon those souls who approach the
fount of My mercy. The soul that will go to Confession and receive
Holy Communion shall obtain complete forgiveness of sins and
punishment. On that day all the divine floodgates through which
graces flow are opened. Let no soul fear to draw near to Me, even
though its sins be as scarlet. My mercy is so great that no mind, be
it of man or of angel, will be able to fathom it throughout all
eternity. Everything that exists has come forth from the very depths
of My most tender mercy. Every soul in its relation to Me will
contemplate My love and mercy throughout eternity. The Feast of Mercy
emerged from My very depths of tenderness. It is My desire that it be
solemnly celebrated on the first Sunday after Easter. Mankind will
not have peace until it turns to the Fount of My Mercy."
