Convert, it's urgent! “I don't get tired as long as I have life, as long as Christ keeps me alive, I will shout, I will always shout: Brothers, please convert! Brothers, please convert, it's urgent! Don't waste time, it's urgent! Because many are waiting for great events little by little. No! The great events are going to happen in a short period, of days! All of them! And the Warning will come! [...] Let's trust in the word of Christ, and let's ask the Holy Spirit for discernment so as not to make wrong decisions" –Luz de Maria.****
(Reading: 3 mins)
You who carry a burden, a burden that no one sees but that breaks you every night. Perhaps you have lost someone dear to you who loved life, but one day, in a moment of total darkness, chose eternal silence, and now that question burns inside you like fire:
- Where is his or her soul?
- Is his or her condemned forever?
This question is agonizing, and the Church often remains silent, not for cruelty, but out of a necessity that will be explained during the reading and that can free you from years of torment.
Sister Faustina Kovalska saw in a vision what the Church keeps out of prudence, and which will offer you hope and greater inner peace for what seems irreparable, such as eternal damnation.
Jesus revealed to Sister Faustina the fate of “desperate” souls in the last moment of life. He showed her three signs demonstrating that God’s mercy can overcome even seemingly unforgivable sin, and the secret prayer that can bridge the abyss between this world and eternity.
It was a night in 1936 in the convent in Krakow, in absolute silence. Sister Faustina was praying on her knees. That evening she had offered her own life for the conversion of the most lost sinners.
Jesus appeared to her and, in a voice that Faustina had never heard before, tender but absolute, said:
“My daughter, write: the greater the misery of a soul, the greater its right to My Mercy. I desire to save all souls, even those who have taken their own lives at the last moment.”
Faustina was speechless…
“But Lord (she whispered), that person rejected the gift of life, committed the most serious sin…”
Jesus replied:
“Yes, but you do not know what happens in the last heartbeat. In that final moment, I offer My Mercy. And if that soul repents, even for a second, I save it. This is the secret that the Church guards with modesty. Not because it wants to hide the truth, but because the truth is dangerous in weak hands. Listen to Me. Suicide is a very grave sin. It is an offense against God, the Lord of life, it is an offense against oneself, against one’s family, against the world, but God is infinitely greater than our sins. In the final moment, in the instant between life and death, God offers one last grace.”
The Catechism of the Catholic Church teaches:
“Serious psychological disturbances, anguish, and fear can diminish the responsibility of the suicidal person.”
We must not despair of the eternal salvation of these people. God can, in ways known only to him, offer them an opportunity for salutary repentance.
Do you now understand the difference between two types of souls?
There is the soul that knows that God is mercy. This soul, even in darkness, cries out, “Jesus, I trust in you!” And there is the soul that does not know, that believes it is alone, that believes God has abandoned him/her. This belief is the lie of the devil.
Jesus said to Faustina:
“Souls perish despite My Passion. I offer them the last lifeline, the Feast of My Mercy. If they do not venerate it, they will perish for eternity. Imagine a father with a son. The son, in a moment of anger, runs away, gets lost, and in despair thinks: ‘My father will never love me again’ and decides not to return, but the father is at the window. He waits every day, every night. And if that son, even with his last breath, said, ‘Father, forgive me,’ that father would run, embrace him, and bring him home. Such is God, such is His Mercy.”
Why doesn’t the Church say this openly?
Because Mercy is real, but it is not an excuse. If the Church said, “Those who take their own lives can be saved,” fragile souls would misunderstand and think, “Then I can run away, because God forgives.” No, life is sacred. Suffering, however cruel, has meaning in God’s plan. To take one’s own life is to reject that plan. But for those of you who have lost someone, for those of you who weep and ask, “Where is he/she?” Do not despair. God is Mercy.
This is the prayer that Jesus taught St. Faustina to save desperate souls. It is called The Chaplet of Divine Mercy. Jesus said to Faustina:
“Whoever recites it will obtain mercy at the hour of death. Even the most hardened sinner, if he recites it once, will obtain infinite grace.”
Take your rosary or use your fingers. Begin with the Sign of the Cross (+)
- Our Father
- Hail Mary
- The Apostles’ Creed
On the beads of the Our Father:
“Eternal Father, I offer You the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Your Dearly Beloved Son, Our Lord, Jesus Christ, in atonement for our sins and those of the whole world.”
On the 10 Small Beads of Each Decade:
“For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world.”
Recite it for nine consecutive days. Offer this prayer for those you have lost.
How will you know that God has heard you?
Three signs.
First: Deep peace in your heart, even in pain.
Second: A dream, a sudden thought. Many have dreamed of their loved one smiling.
Third: An impossible coincidence, a song, a flower, a word at the right moment.
God speaks in details. Now close your eyes, place your hand on your heart, and repeat silently:
“Jesus, I trust in you. Through your Passion, have mercy on those I have lost. You who are Mercy, welcome them, wash them with your Blood, grant me to see them again in glory. Amen.”
God has led you to this reading because He wanted you to know that God’s Mercy is greater than any sin, even the most serious, even the despair that leads to death. Remember that you are not alone. God has not abandoned you, and those you have lost are in the hands of God’s Infinite Mercy. Be at peace, may Divine Mercy always accompany you.

The Diary of Sister Faustina Kowalska: (PDF)
"If you knew how you shine after duly approaching the Sacrament of Confession. "Jesus is in the Confessional and He hears every word, sees into every corner of your heart and Is eager to bestow the graces inherent in His Forgiveness.
"I ask to end to this abomination! No more of extraordinary Ministers of the Eucharist, no more of Communions in the hand!"
"Heavenly Father, today, I surrender to You my heart. Help me to be Your instrument in the world. Cover me with the Precious Blood of Your Divine Son. Guard me against all evil. Protect me from any evil plan Satan may have for me today. Clothe me in Your Divine Will. Amen"
"Oh Jesus of Divine Mercy, hear my pleadings to you, for I am here to do your Will!"
"I place myself in the presence of the Most Holy Trinity (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) and by the power of the Blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ, I break, undo, trample, annihilate, render ineffective, and erase from my physical, psychic, biological, and spiritual being every curse that has been placed on me, on my family and family tree, on any person, family member, or ancestor through acts of occultism or spiritism. By the power of the Precious Blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ and through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, St. Michael, St. Gabriel, and St. Raphael, I break and render ineffective every curse, whatever its nature, in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen (Repeat the prayer 3 times)" 
"O glorious St. Joseph! by your profound humility, by your unalterable meekness, by your invincible patience, by your angelic purity and perfect fidelity that made you a timely imitator of the virtues of Jesus and Mary, I ask you to console me in all my sorrows, to guide me in all my doubts, to defend me in all temptations, to deliver me from all spiritual and material dangers; to extend your arm against all my visible and invisible enemies, breaking and destroying all the snares and barriers that they tend and arm against me. Amen." 
"Oh, blessed Saint Michael, protect us from the attacks and snares of the evil spirits because you know full well that we are poor mortals, fragile and weak, in need of the Mercy of God and of your protection to fulfill the mission that Heaven has commissioned to us. Oh, Saint Michael, may your victorious cry: “who is like God? no one is like God”, suppress and cast into Hell satan and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the destruction of souls. Amen"
Come, Holy Spirit, send to us from Heaven a ray of your light. Come, Father of the poor, come, giver of gifts, come, light of hearts. Perfect comforter, sweet guest of the soul, sweetest relief. In toil, rest, in heat, shelter, in weeping comfort. O most blessed light, invade into the depths the hearts of your faithful. Without your strength nothing is in man, nothing is without fault. Wash what is sordid, bathe what is parched, heal what bleeds. Bend that which is stiff, warm that which is icy, straighten that which is astray. Give to your faithful who trust in you alone your Holy Gifts. Give virtue and reward, give holy death, give eternal joy. Amen.
"O Hearts of Jesus and Mary; I consecrate myself, I consecrate my family and the whole world, to your Most Beloved Hearts. Listen to the supplication which I making to you and accept our hearts in Yours, to be delivered and protected we, the whole world, from all evil and all sin. May the protection of your Two Hearts be refuge, strength, and protection, in the daily spiritual struggles. That the power of your Two Hearts irradiates the world so that it is protected from evil and sin. We willingly consecrate ourselves and consecrate all mankind to your Hearts; sure and confident, for your Great Mercy, to obtain the victory over the forces of evil in this world, and the eternal Glory in the Kingdom of God. Amen"
