Divine Mercy

Oh, Blood and water which gushed forth from the heart of Christ as a fountain of mercy for us, Jesus I Trust in You!​


"Be Merciful even as your Father is Merciful"
(Lk 6:36)
"Jesus Christ taught that man not only receives and experiences the mercy of God, but that he is also called "to practice mercy" towards others. "Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy" (Mt. 5:7). The Church sees in these words a call to action, and she tries to practice mercy...Man attains to the merciful love of God, His mercy, to the extent that he himself is interiorly transformed in the spirit of that love towards his neighbor."
