Devotion to Mercy: what Santa Faustina said about the Coroncina

20. A Friday of the year 1935. - It was evening. I had already shut myself in my cell. I saw the angel executor of the wrath of God. I began to beg God for the world with words that I heard internally. I offered to the eternal Father "The body, blood, soul and divinity of his most beloved Son, in expiation for our sins and those of the whole world". I asked for mercy for all "in the name of his painful passion".
The following day, entering the chapel, I heard these words inside me: "Every time you enter the chapel, recite from the threshold the prayer that I taught you yesterday." Recited that I had the prayer, I received the following instruction: «This prayer serves to appease my indignation, you will recite it on the crown of the rosary that you usually use. You will begin with a Our Father, you will pronounce this prayer: "Eternal Father, I offer you the body, blood, soul and divinity of your beloved Son and our Lord Jesus Christ in expiation of our sins and those of the whole world" . On the small grains of the Ave Maria, you will continue saying ten consecutive times: "For his painful passion, have mercy on us and the whole world". As a conclusion, you will recite this invocation three times: "Holy God, Holy Strong, Holy Immortal, have mercy on us and the whole world" ".

21. Promises. - «Constantly recite the chaplet that I taught you every day. Whoever recites it will find great mercy at the hour of death. The priests propose it to those who are in sin as a table of salvation. Even the most inveterate sinner, if you recite this chaplet even once, will have the help of my mercy. I wish the whole world to know it. I will grant thanks that man cannot even understand to all those who trust in my mercy. I will embrace with my mercy in life, and even more in the hour of death, the souls who will recite this chaplet ».

22. The first soul saved. - I was in a sanatorium in Pradnik. In the middle of the night, I was suddenly awakened. I realized that a soul was in an urgent need for someone to pray for her. I went into the lane and saw a person who had already entered agony. Suddenly, I heard this voice internally: "Recite the chaplet that I taught you." I ran to get the rosary and, kneeling next to the agonizing, I recited the chaplet with all the fervor I was capable of. Suddenly, the dying man opened his eyes and looked at me. My chaplet was not yet finished and that person had already expired with a singular serenity painted on the face. I had ardently asked the Lord to keep the promise made to me about the chaplet, and he made it known to me that on that occasion he had kept it. It was the first soul saved thanks to this promise of the Lord.
Returning to my little room, I heard these words: «In the hour of death, I will defend as my glory every soul that will recite the chaplet. If another person recites her to a dying man, he will obtain the same forgiveness for him ».
When the chaplet is recited at the bedside of a dying person, the wrath of God subsides and a mercy unknown to us envelops the soul, because the divine Being is deeply moved by the re-enactment of the painful passion of his Son.

23. A great help for agonizers. - I would like everyone to understand how great is the Lord's mercy, which is absolutely necessary for everyone, especially in the decisive hour of death. The chaplet is a great help for agonizers. I often pray for people who are made known to me internally and I insist in prayer until I feel inside me that I have obtained what I ask for. Especially now, when I am here in this hospital, I feel united with the dying who, entering agony, ask for my prayer. God grants me a singular union with those who are about to die. My prayer does not always have the same length of time. In any case, I was able to make sure that if the urge to pray lasts longer, it is a sign that the soul has to go through more struggles for longer. For souls, distances do not exist. I happen to experience the same phenomenon even at a distance of hundreds of kilometers.

24. A sign of recent times. - As I was reciting the chaplet, I suddenly heard this voice: «The graces I will grant to those who pray with this chaplet will be great. Write that I want all humanity to know my infinite mercy. This request is a sign of recent times, after which my justice will come. As long as there is time, humanity should resort to the source of my mercy, to the blood and water that sprang for the salvation of all ».
