Merciful HeartThere are two scriptural verses that we should keep in mind
as we involve ourselves in these devotional practices:
1. "This people honors me with their lips, but their hearts are
far from me" (Is 29:13);
2. Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy"
(Mt 5:7).
Living the Message of Mercy
The devotional practices revealed through Saint Faustina
were given to us as "vessels of mercy" through which God's
love can be poured out upon the world, but they are not
sufficient unto themselves. It's not enough for us to hang The
Divine Mercy image in our homes, pray the Chaplet every
day at three o'clock, and receive Holy Communion on the
first Sunday after Easter. We also have to show mercy to our
neighbors. Putting mercy into action is not an option of the
Divine Mercy Devotion; it's a requirement!
