... My soul was instantly filled with a great longing
that our Congregation, too, might have a saint,
and I wept like a child that there was no saint in our midst.
...And the Lord Jesus said to me,
"Don't cry. You are that saint."
Then the light of God inundated my soul,
and I was given to know how much I was to suffer,
and I said to the Lord, "How will that come about? ..."
And the Lord answered.
"It is not for you to know how this will come about. Your duty is to be faithful to My grace and to do always what is within your power and what obedience allows you to do."
(1650)

Divine Mercy in My Soul
"Don't cry. You are that saint."
"Don't cry. You are that saint."
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
