Power of the Chaplet |
| By evening my sufferings had reached such a stage of interior desolation that moans welled up involuntarily from my breast...the moans and pain that welled up from my soul took the place of a sweet conversation with the Lord. then suddenly I saw the Lord, who clasped me to His Heart and said to me, "My daughter, do not weep, for I cannot bear your tears. I will grant you everything you ask for but stop crying." And I was filled with great joy...Today, encouraged by His kindness , I conversed with Jesus at greater length. I told him, "Jesus, I have so much to tell You." And the Lord said to me with great love, "Speak, My daughter" ...."Oh, how ardently I desire that all mankind turn with trust to Your mercy.." Jesus listened to these outpourings of my heart with gravity and interest, as if He had known nothing about them, and this seemed to make it easier for me to talk. And the Lord said to me, "My daughter, those words of your heart are pleasing to Me, and by saying the chaplet you are bringing humankind closer to Me." After these words, I found myself alone, but the presence of God is always in my soul. (927-929) |
| My daughter, encourage souls to say the chaplet which I have given to you. It pleases Me to grant everything they ask of Me by saying this chaplet. When hardened sinners say it, I will fill their souls with peace, and the hour of their death will be a happy one. (1541) |
| Write that when they say this chaplet in the presence of the dying, I will stand between My Father and the dying person, not as the just Judge but as the merciful Saviour. (1541) |
| When I entered the chapel for a moment, the Lord said to me, My daughter, help Me to save a certain dying sinner. Say the chaplet that I have taught you for him. When I began to say the chaplet, I saw the man dying in the midst of terrible torment and struggle. His Guardian Angel was defending him, but he was, as it were, powerless against the enormity of the soul's misery. A multitude of devils was waiting for the soul. But while I was saying the chaplet, I saw Jesus just as He is depicted in the image. The rays which issued from Jesus' Heart enveloped the sick man, and the powers of darkness fled in panic. The sick man peacefully breathed his last. When I came to myself, I understood how very important the chaplet was for the dying. It appeases the anger of God. (1565) |
| Today I was awakened by a great storm. The wind was raging, and it was raining in torrents, thunderbolts striking again and again. I began to pray that the storm would do no harm, when I heard the words: Say the chaplet I have taught you, and the storm will cease. I began immediately to say the chaplet and hadn't even finished it when the storm suddenly ceased, and I heard the words; Through the chaplet you will obtain everything, if what you ask for is compatible with My will. (1731) -Ed. I would add therefore, that this is a great way to also know what is not God's will. |
| When a great storm was approaching, I began to say the chaplet. Suddenly I heard the voice of an angel: "I cannot approach in this storm, because the light which comes from her mouth drives back both me and the storm." Such was the angel's complaint to God. I then recognised how much havoc he was to have made through this storm; but I also recognised that this prayer was pleasing to God, and that this chaplet was most powerful. (1791) |
| Today, the Lord came to me and said, "My daughter, help Me to save souls. You will go to a dying sinner, and you will continue to recite the chaplet, and in this way you will obtain for him trust in My mercy, for he is already in despair." Suddenly, I found myself in a strange cottage where an elderly man was dying amidst great torments. All about the bed was a multitude of demons and the family, who were crying. When I began to pray, the spirits of darkness fled, with hissing and threats directed at me. The soul became calm and, filled with trust, rested in the Lord. At the same moment, I found myself again in my own room. How this happens...I do not know. (1798) |
Lenten Series Ping!
Thank you for that excerpt. I have a sinfully short attention span and six or eight paragraphs are about the limit for this sleepy Sunday afternoon. P.S. Stay away from the Oregon coast for a while.
For some reason neither of your links worked for the Divine Mercy but the keywords got me there. Thanks.
Salvation, thanks so much for posting these exerpts. I had loaned out my copy of the diary so this is helpful for my lenten meditation.

When St. Faustina talks about a sinner dying “in torment” or “agony” is she referring to a spiritual torment or a physical torment. I’ve always wondered.
Hi Salvation! Thank you for your posts. I am checking this one out again. So profound in Christ! Lol! I have the Diary print but cannot find for ebook or kindle do you know where. It seems nobody will do electronic read. Thanks.
