JESUS ASKS FOR NEW APOSTLES

JESUS:

My beloved daughter, I wish you to make a wide distribution of My Image. I want to 
enter into each family, to convert the hardest hearts. Take Me to the hospitals and 
hospices, schools and nurseries.

Speak to the whole world of My Merciful and Infinite Love.

I will help you to find new apostles.They will be My new elect and 
the beloved ones of My Heart and they will have a special place therein. 
I will bless their families and I will deputise for them in directing their affairs.

I will carry out in full that which I have told you in the Gospel.

To him who seeks first the Kingdom of God and His Justice all the rest will be 

given in abundance.

And now I say to you:

"To anyone who propagates confidence and love towards My Mercy, I will give a 
hundred fold in this life and in the next."

Now I have found this new means I ask your help as the beggar asks his alms. 
Will you help Me?

JESUS:

My children, peace be to you.

I am the Merciful Jesus, I wish to encourage you to 
accomplish the work of this apostolate. I wish that it should be 
propagated to the point of reaching all creatures.

My Image you will give as a gift 
or deliver to everyone, known or unknown, and you will accompany your gesture 
with a mental invocation and an act of kindness from your heart.

This image will bring spiritual benefits to you who propagate it and it will 
work immediate and striking transformations in those who recieve Me with love 
and gratitude.

It is a great gift and a great means of salvation 
with which I wish to favour humanity.

My Heart is transpierced and provoked by the too numerous sins which are 
commited and by the excessive number of those who are losing their souls.

I will bless you from this moment on and I pledge to keep My promises.

You will employ the youth in the schools and hospices to carry out this work which I 
desire immensely.

But you must also ask My Holy Mother to help you to make My Sacred Image enter 
into all homes, while awaiting My entry into the hearts of all men to 
make them happy and to save them.

APOSTLE'S PRAYER

Prayer of the Apostles of the Merciful Love and of the Divine Face:

Merciful Jesus, we believe in Thee
and we trust in Thee.
Come to the aid of our weakness
and our incapacity.
Grant that we may be able to make Thee known
and loved by all men,
and that, confident in the immensity of Thy love
we may be able to combat the evil
which is in us and in all the world,
for Thy Glory and our Salvation.
Amen.

(Three Times)

AND IN THE NINE(9) DAYS (Preferably Starting from Good Friday 
        - Or any 9 days you choose):
	- Don't forget (Important - to go to confession in preperation and to
        receive Holy Communion on Divine Mercy Sunday!)

First Day (Good Friday or start of the 9-day Novena) 

"Today bring to me all mankind, especially all sinners, and immerse them in the ocean of my 
mercy. In this way you will console me in the bitter grief into which the loss of souls plunges me." 

Most merciful Jesus, whose very nature it is to have compassion on us to forgive us, do not look upon 
our sins, but upon our trust which we place in Your infinite goodness. Receive us all into the abode of 
Your Most Compassionate Heart, and never let us escape from it. We beg this of You by Your love 
which unites You to the Father and the Holy Spirit. Eternal Father, turn Your Merciful gaze 
upon all mankind and especially upon poor sinners, all enfolded in the Most Compassionate Heart of 
Jesus. For the sake of His Sorrowful Passion show us Your Mercy, that we may praise the infinite 
power of Your Mercy, forever and forever. Amen." 

Second Day 

"Today bring to me the souls of Priests and Religious and immerse them in my unfathomable mercy. 
It was they who gave me strength to endure my bitter passion. Through them, as though channels, 
my mercy flows out upon mankind." 

Most Merciful Jesus, from whom comes all that is good, increase Your grace in men and women consecrated to 
Your service that they perform worthy works of mercy, and that all who see them may glorify the Father of 
Mercy who is in Heaven. Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon the company of chosen ones in Your 
vineyard - upon the souls of Priests and Religious - and endow them with the strength of Your Blessing. 
For the Love of the Heart of Your Son in which they are enfolded, impart to them Your Power and Light, that 
they may be able to guide others in the way of salvation, and with one voice sing praise to Your boundless 
Mercy for ages without end. Amen 

Third Day 

"Today bring to me all devout and faithful souls and immerse them in the ocean of my mercy. 
These souls brought me consolation on the Way of the Cross. They were that drop of consolation in the 
midst of an ocean of bitterness." 

Most Merciful Jesus, from the treasury of Your Mercy, You impart Your graces in great abundance to each and all. 
Receive us into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart and never let us escape from it. We beg this grace of 
You by that most wondrous love for the heavenly Father with which Your Heart burns so fiercely. Eternal Father, 
turn Your merciful gaze upon faithful souls, as upon the inheritance of Your Son. For the sake of His Sorrowful 
Passion grant them Your blessing and surround them with Your constant protection. Thus may they never fail in love 
or lose the treasure of the Holy Faith, but rather, with all the hosts of Angels and Saints, may they 
glorify Your boundless Mercy for endless ages. Amen 

Fourth Day 

"Today bring to me those who do not believe in God and those who do not yet know me. I was 
thinking also of them during my bitter passion, and their future zeal comforted my heart. 
Immerse them in the ocean of my mercy." 

Most Compassionate Jesus, You are the Light of the whole world. Receive into the abode of Your Most Compassionate 
Heart the souls of those who as yet do not believe in You or do not know You. Let the rays of Your Grace enlighten 
them that they, too, together with us, may extol Your wonderful Mercy, and do not let them escape from the abode 
which is Your Compassionate Heart. Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon the souls who do not believe 
in Your Son, and of those who as yet do not know You, but who are enclosed in the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. 
Draw them to the light of the Gospel. These souls do not know what great happiness it is to love You. Grant 
that they, too, may extol the generosity of Your Mercy for endless ages. Amen 

Fifth Day 

"Today bring to me the souls who have separated from my Church and immerse them in the ocean of my mercy. 
During my bitter passion they tore at my body and Heart, that is, my Church. As they return to unity with the 
Church, my wounds heal, and in this way they alleviate my passion." 

Most Merciful Jesus, Goodness Itself, You do not refuse light to those who seek it of You. Receive into the 
abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart the souls of those who have separated from Your Church. Draw 
them by Your Light into the unity of the Church, and do not let them escape from the abode of Your Most 
Compassionate Heart; but bring it about that they, too, come to glorify the generosity of Your Mercy. 
Eternal Father, turn Your Merciful gaze upon the souls of those who are separated from Your Son's Church, 
especially those who have squandered Your Blessings and misused Your Graces by obstinately persisting in 
their errors. Do not look upon their errors, but upon the love of Your Own Son and upon His Bitter Passion, 
which He underwent for their sake, since they, too, are enclosed in His Most Compassionate Heart. Bring it about 
that they may glorify Your great Mercy for endless ages. Amen

Sixth Day 

"Today bring to me the meek and humble souls and the souls of little children and immerse them in my mercy. 
These souls most closely resemble my Heart. They strengthened me during my bitter agony. I saw them as earthly 
angels, who will keep vigil at my altars. I pour out upon them whole torrents of grace. Only the humble 
souls is capable of receiving my grace. I favour humble souls with my confidence." 

Most Merciful Jesus, You Yourself have said "Learn from Me for I am meek and humble of heart". 
Receive into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart all meek and humble souls and the souls of 
little children. These souls send all Heaven into ecstacy, and they are the Heavenly Father's favourites. 
They are a sweet-smelling bouquet before the Throne of God; God Himself takes delight in their 
fragrance. These souls have a permanent abode in Your Most Compassionate Heart, O Jesus, and they 
unceasingly sing out a hymn of love and mercy. Eternal Father, turn Your Merciful gaze upon meek and 
humble souls and upon the souls of little children, who are enfolded in the abode which is the Most 
Compassionate Heart of Jesus. These souls bear the closest resemblance to Your Son. Their fragrance rises 
from the earth and reaches Your very Throne. Father of Mercy and of all Goodness, I beg You by the love You 
bear these souls and by the delight You take in them. Bless the whole world, that all souls together may sing 
out the praises of Your Mercy for endless ages. Amen 

Seventh Day 

"Today bring to me the souls who especially venerate and glorify my mercy and immerse them in my mercy. 
These souls sorrowed most over my passion and entered most deeply into my spirit. They are living images 
of my compassionate heart. These souls will shine with a special brightness in the next life. Not one of 
them will go into the fire of hell. I shall particularly defend each one of them at the hour of death."
 
Most Merciful Jesus, whose Heart is Love Itself, receive into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart 
the souls of those who particularly extol and venerate the greatness of Your Mercy. These souls are mighty 
with the very power of God Himself. In the midst of all afflictions and adversities they go forward confident 
of Your Mercy. These souls are united to Jesus and carry all mankind on their shoulders. These soulks will not 
be judged severely, but Your Mercy will embrace them as they depart from this life. Eternal Father, turn Your 
merciful gaze upon the souls who glorify and venerate Your greatest atribute, that of Your fathomless Mercy, 
and who are enclosed in the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. These souls are a living Gospel; their hands are 
full of deeds of mercy and their spirits, overflowing with joy, sing a canticle of mercy to You, O Most High! 
I beg You O God: show them Your Mercy according to the hope and trust they have placed in You. Let there be 
accomplished in them the Promise of Jesus, who said to them that during their life, but especially at the hour 
of death, the souls who will venerate this fathomless Mercy of His, He, Himself, will defend as His Glory. Amen 

Eighth Day 

"Today bring to me the souls who are detained in purgatory and immerse them in the abyss 
of my mercy. Let the torrents of my Blood cool down their scorching flames. All these souls are really 
loved by me. They are making retribution to my justice. It is in your power to bring them relief. 
Draw all indulgences from the treasury of my Church and offer them on their behalf. 
Oh, if you only knew the torments they suffer, you would continually offer for them 
the alms of the spirit and pay off their debt for my justice." 

Most Merciful Jesus, You Youself have said that You desire mercy; so I bring into the abode of Your Most 
Compassionate Heart the souls in Purgatory, souls who are very dear to You, and yet who 
must make retribution to Your Justice. May the streams of Blood and Water which gushed forth from Your 
Heart put out the flames of the purifying fire, that in that place, too, the Power of Your Mercy 
may be praised. Eternal Father, turn Your Merciful gaze upon the souls suffering in Purgatory, who 
are enfolded in the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. I beg You, by the sorrowful Passion 
of Jesus Your Son, and by all the bitterness with which His most Sacred Soul was flooded, 
manifest Your Mercy to the souls who are under Your Just Scrutiny. Look upon them in no other 
way than through the Wounds of Jesus, Your Dearly Beloved Son; for we firmly believe that there 
is no limit to Your Goodness and Compassion. Amen 

Ninth Day

"Today bring to me souls who have become lukewarm and immerse them in the abyss of my mercy. 
These souls wound my Heart most painfully. My soul sufferered the most dreadful loathing in the 
Garden of Olives because of lukewarm souls. They were the reason I cried out: "Father, take this cup 
away from me, if it be Your will". For them the last hope of salvation is to run to my mercy."
 
Most Compassionate Jesus, You are Compassion Itself. I bring lukewarm souls into the abode of Your Most 
Compassionate Heart. In this fire of Your Pure Love let these tepid souls, who, like corpses, filled You 
with such deep loathing, be once again set aflame. O Most Compassionate Jesus, exercise the omnipotence 
of Your Mercy and draw them into the very ardour of Your Love; and bestow upon them the gift of Holy Love, 
for nothing is beyond Your power. Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon lukewarm souls who are 
nonetheless enfolded in the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. Father of Mercy, I beg You by the bitter 
passion of Your Son and by His three-hour agony on the Cross, let them too, glorify the Abyss of Your Mercy. Amen 

CONSECRATION

"O Jesus, Good Jesus, whose infinite love has created and redeemed the world, 
and wishes to save it, accept me among the number of those who wish to work for 
the triumph of Your Reign of Love on earth.

For this end, receive the complete offering of myself which I place at Your service.

I will distribute the picture of Your Divine Face, begging You to revive in all souls the 
image of Your Divine Face.

O Jesus, work miracles of conversion, and call the apostles of the new era, the new 
apostles to undertake this great work.

Spread over the whole world Your Merciful Love, which buries and destroys evil: 
renew the earth, and may all hearts filled with charity, led by the light of the Son put 
into practice the Gospel."
(Milan, 25th April, 1969)

Our Lord said I will save the whole family if one person in that family honours my 
Mercy. To obtain this promise say once a day "I consecrate myself and my family to 
the Mercy of God."

THE MESSAGE OF MERCIFUL LOVE

		HISTORY BEHIND THE MESSAGE:
Sr Faustina Kowalska was asked by Jesus to proclaim to the world a new gift, an 
amnesty for Mankind, a way to become new Christians, cleansing our souls of all 
past sins, and obtaining complete remission of all punishment, by appealing to Our 
Father through the Passion and Merciful Love of Jesus. The Church 
acting on information incorrectly presented, prohibited the propogation of this
message for some years and Sr. Faustina died without seeing her mission 
fulfulled. Some years after Mama Carmela, a mother of eleven children in Milan, 
Italy, who had for years distributed Sr. Faustina's picture of the Divine Face, heard 
the voice of Jesus, He thanked her for her most Holy work, and appealed to her to 
take up the mission of Sr. Faustina, to find new Apostles, which He would help her 
to do, and continue to spread this most important message, to the ends of the earth. 
(In effect the opportunity to obtain a SECOND BAPTISM).

After a thorough examination of all the facts and information relating to the message, (which took 
over ten years,) Pope John Paul II has reversed the earlier decision of the Church, 
and is now the promoter of the cause for beautification of Sr. Faustina.

Although Jesus has given us many beautiful prayers with the message, through 
Sr. Faustina and Mama Carmela, the Gift of Divine Mercy, through the Merciful Love 
of Jesus comes in three parts.

New Prayers to say:
CHAPLET OF ROSARY MERCY and NOVENA OF MERCY

NEW IMAGE to Venerate:
DIVINE MERCY IMAGE and DIVINE FACE

NEW FEAST to celebrate:
FEAST OF MERCY

The Divine Image is the full figure image of Jesus that appeared to Sr. Faustina.

The Divine Face is the Face only, of that Same Image.

At 3:00 o'clock we can pray:
You expired, Jesus, but the source of life gushed forth for souls and the ocean of 
mercy opened up for the whole world. O Fount of Life, unfathomable Divine Mercy, 
envelope the world and empty Yourself out upon us.
(Diary 1519)

O Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a fount of 
mercy for us, I trust in You
(Diary 1319)

THE PROMISES OF MERCIFUL JESUS

M. CARMELA: Jesus, what do You want of me?

JESUS: Write, my daughter. You will be the apostle of My Merciful Love. I will bless 
you. I will shower on you abundant graces and great gifts.

Thank you for the distribution of the Image of My Sacred Face. I will bless the families who expose My Image.

I will convert the sinners who live there. I will help the good to perfect themselves, 
the lukewarm to rekindle their hearts, I will bless their interest. I will provide for their 
needs and I will help them in all their necessities, spiritual and material.

Speak often to Me, and invoke Me thus:
"Merciful Jesus, We trust in thee; have pity on us and on the whole world."

Have faith and confidence. All that you do for Me will be recompensed a hundred fold.
Milan, 20th April 1968

MERCIFUL JESUS in the excessive goodness of His Heart promises that:

"Whosoever venerated with love and devotion in his house My Divine Image will be 
preserved from chastisement, in the same way as the ancient Hebrews marked 
their house with the blood of the pascal lamb and were spared by the Exterminating 
Angel, so it will be in these sad times for those who will have honoured and exposed My Image."
Milan, 5th September 1968
