Today's devotion 30 June 2020: the Mercy of Jesus

Promises of Jesus

The Chaplet of Divine Mercy was dictated by Jesus to Saint Faustina Kowalska in the year 1935. After having recommended to St. Faustina "My daughter, exhort souls to recite the chaplet that I have given you", he promised: "for the recitation of this chaplet I like to grant all that they will ask me if this will conform to my will ”. Particular promises concern the hour of death and that is the grace of being able to die serenely and in peace. Not only can people who have recited the Chaplet with confidence and perseverance obtain it, but also the dying with whom it will be recited. Jesus recommended to priests to recommend the Chaplet to sinners as a last table of salvation; promising that "even if he were the most hardened sinner, if he recites this chaplet only once, he will obtain the grace of my infinite mercy".

For your painful passion
