The Blue Scapular Prayer Book
Prayer to The Divine Mercy O God, how good You are, how great is Your Mercy. I fly to Your mercy, Compassionate God, who alone are good. Although my misery is great and my offenses are many, I trust in Your mercy because You are the God of mercy and it has never been heard of in all ages, nor do heaven or earth remember, that a soul trusting in Your mercy has been disappointed. O God of compassion, You alone can justify me and You will never reject me when I, contrite, approach Your Merciful Heart, where no one has ever been refused, even if he were the greatest sinner. For Your Son assured me: “Sooner would heaven and earth turn into nothingness than my mercy fail to embrace a trusting soul” ( Diary, 1730). Jesus, Friend of a lonely heart, You are my haven, You are my peace. You are my salvation, You are my serenity in moments of struggle and amidst an ocean of doubts. You are the bright ray that lights up the path of my life. You know our weaknesses and, like a good physician, You comfort and heal, sparing us sufferings ( Diary, 247). 96
