Dear reductio:
If you'll look closely at what SOJC posted, you will see that he was quoting from information put out by the Congregation of Marians and the Marians of the Immaculate Conception. I'm pretty sure the editorial comments were theirs and not SOJC's. I agree that they have a lot of audacity to change Our Lord's words. I think Jesus knew exactly which words He meant to use, or else He would have used other ones. It never fails to amaze me when people claim to know better than Jesus what He "really" meant!

Dear Freepers in Christ,(Message for Reductio)
Greetings. I agree whole heartedly with what you have said. I am personally in favor of the original wording of the Prayers and Novena composed by Saint Faustina.
I did not engage in any modification but rather I took it ad verbatim from the Marian Fathers Web page where these comments were made by the Marians themselves. The Main Article was taken by me from Mike Brown's Web Site http://www.spiritdaily.com . If you check it out, it will confirm 100 % what I am saying.
Please I beg you do not attack me on this Thread too. I thought I was doing something good and positive as Freepers Nihil Obstat and Ciexyz said that I was giving a timely reminder to all who are interested in starting the Divine Mercy Novena this Good Friday.
Already, I am facing constant attacks on another Thread by Freepers who are in denial about the Persecution of Christians and Catholics in India as well as my personal experiences regarding discrimination as a Christian Catholic Professional in India.
This discrimination I have faced is being faced by other Christian and Catholic Professionals in the past as well as present. That is why a large number of Indian Catholic Professionals have been migrating to a number of Countries in the West for the last 15- 20 years and this is ongoing.
Many Thanks to Freeper nanetteclaret for her continuous support to me as well as to some New Freepers like Dangus, Calabash, NYer, and Salvation.
Please Pray for me.
In Christ,
