To such souls I grant even more graces than they ask. I cannot punish even the greatest sinner if he makes an appeal to My compassion, but on the contrary, I justify him in My unfathomable and inscrutable mercy (Diary, 1146). My Prayer Response: Jesus, I appeal to Your mercy for me a sinner and for mercy on the whole world. Help all of us to appeal to Your great mercy. May we be justified by Your unfathomable and inscrutable mercy! *Diary passages in italics is Jesus speaking”
