Jesus warned the world through St. Faustina: ''Souls perish in spite of My bitter Passion. I am giving them the last hope of salvation, that is, recourse to My Mercy. If they will not adore My Mercy, they will perish for all eternity.''

For this reason, Jesus asked for the institution of the Feast of Divine Mercy, a feast to be celebrated on this traditional Low Sunday after Easter. He wished that this feast would be, '' a refuge and a shelter for all souls, and especially for poor sinners.''

As we noted yesterday, the graces of a Plenary Indulgence are available today. As Our Lord promised St. Faustina, for this feast each year: ''The soul that will go to Confession and receive Holy Communion shall obtain complete forgiveness of sins and punishment.'' It is also essential to carry out some corporal or spiritual work of mercy.

Our Lord Jesus also said these consoling words: ''Therefore let no soul fear to draw near to Me, even though its sins be as scarlet.''

We appear to be entering into very grave days for the Church. Our Blessed Lord is today offering vital graces to help us. May all readers respond to the beautiful gift and graces of this Feast of Divine Mercy on Low Sunday.

''Tell aching mankind to snuggle close to My Merciful Heart, and I will fill it with peace.''

Jesus, I Trust in You!
