The patron saintSt. Faustina KowalskaSoonIn times of need
O Graciously Merciful God, Infinite Goodness, today humanity cries out from the depths of its sorrow to Your mercy — to Your compassion, O Lord; and with a powerful voice of despair, we call out. Kind God, do not turn away from the pleas of those exiled on this earth! O Lord, whose goodness surpasses our understanding, who are intimately familiar with our suffering, knowing well that we are unable to rise to You by our own strength, we beseech You, grace us with Your presence and for ever multiply Your mercy within us, that we may earnestly fulfill Your Holy Will throughout our lives and at the hour of our death. May Your mercy's all-encompassing power protect us from the assaults of our adversaries, so that, as Your beloved children, we may confidently anticipate Your glorious return — a day known solely to You. We trust to receive all that has been promised to us by Jesus, despite our wretchedness. For Jesus is our Hope; through His compassionate Heart, as through an open gate, we enter into heaven. Amen.
