DEVOTION TO THE DIVINE MERCY
The man needs God, and God in His love, comes out to meet him pouring the rays of Mercy. The man of today needs to hear that there is hope; That God in His mercy wants everyone to be saved, but the only condition is the change of heart; to admit the sins and with a deep repentance back to God and keep away from devil.
The essence of the devotion to the Divine Mercy is the confident attitude toward God and love to your neighbor. The Lord Jesus calls His creatures to trust in Him. "I desire trust from my creatures…(Diary, 1059) and do works of mercy: Through theirs acts, words and prayer… "You must show mercy to your neighbors always and everywhere. You cannot stop, nor excuse or justify” (Diary, 742).
The image of Merciful Jesus shows the resurrected Savior that brings peace to humanity through the forgiveness of sins, at the price of his passion and death on the cross.
The rays of blood and water emerging from the Heart (invisible in the image) pierced by the lance and the marks of the nails recall events of Good Friday.
The
Divine Mercy has as primary aim to reach the hearts of every person
to know that God is merciful and loves us all and that the bigger is
the sinner, the greater is the right of merciful, so, no soul should
be afraid to approach Him.
