My Mercy as a Defense Meditation: My daughter, tell souls that I am giving
them My mercy as a defense. I Myself am fighting for them and am bearing the just anger of My Father (Diary, 1516). Today before Holy Communion, the Lord said to me, My daughter, today talk openly to the superior [Mother Irene] about My mercy because, of all the superiors, she has taken the greatest part in proclaiming My mercy (Diary, 1519).

Help me to talk openly of Your mercy to others, not giving into discouragement *The words of Jesus appear in boldface type
