"Today, at midnight, I bid good-bye to the old year 1936,
and welcomed the year 1937.
It was with fear and trembling that, in this first hour of the year,
I faced this new period of time.
Merciful Jesus, with You I go boldly and courageously
into conflicts and battles.
In Your Name, I will accomplish everything and overcome everything. My God, Infinite Goodness, I beg of You,
let Your infinite mercy accompany me always and in all things.
As I enter this year, fear of life overwhelms me,
but Jesus brings me out of this fear
and lets me know what great glory this work of mercy will bring Him."
The words of St. Faustina

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
