#1582 Diary
O my Jesus, I now embrace the whole world and ask You for mercy for it. When You tell
me, O God, that it is enough, that Your holy will has been completely accomplished, then,
my Savior, in union with You, I will commit my soul into the hands of the Heavenly Father,
full of trust in Your unfathomable mercy. And when I stand at the foot of Your throne, the
first hymn that I will sing will be one to Your mercy. Poor earth, I will not forget you.
Although I feel that I will be immediately drowned in God as in an ocean of happiness, that
will not be an obstacle to my returning to earth to encourage souls and incite them to trust
in God's mercy. Indeed, this immersion in God will give me the possibility of boundless
action.
Relying on the saints
Devotion to the souls in Purgatory contains in itself all the works of mercy, which supernaturalized by a spirit of faith, should merit us Heaven. de Sales
