\n<\/strong>\u201cAdorable Goodness, infinite Mercy, knowing that You are Mercy Itself, I have come to ask for Your Mercy \u2013 Mercy on Your very images, Mercy on the Works Created by You; Mercy upon no other but Your creatures themselves.\u201d

The Servant of God, Luisa Piccarreta the Little Daughter of the Divine Will:<\/em><\/p>\n

Volume 6 – April 16, 1904
\n<\/strong>Jesus and God the Father speak about Mercy.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>Continuing in my usual state, I found myself outside of myself, and I saw a multitude of people, and in their midst one could hear noises of bombs and gun shots.\u00a0 People were dropping dead or wounded, and those who were left would flee up to a palace nearby; but the enemies would go up there and kill them, more surely than those who remained outside.<\/p>\n

So I said to myself:\u00a0\u00a0How I (Luisa) wish I could see whether the Lord is there in the midst of these people, so as to say to Him:\u00a0 \u201cHave mercy \u2013 pity on these poor people!\u201d\u00a0 So I went round and round and I saw Him as a little Child; but little by
\nlittle He kept growing, until He reached the perfect age.\u00a0 I drew near Him and I said:\u00a0 \u201cAmiable Lord, don\u2019t You see the tragedy that is happening?\u00a0 You don\u2019t want to make use of mercy anymore?\u00a0 Do You perhaps want to keep this attribute as useless, which has always glorified your Incarnate Divinity with so much honor, forming a special crown on Your august head, and bejeweling You with a second crown, so wanted and loved by You – which is souls?<\/strong>\u201d<\/p>\n

Now, while I was saying this, He told me:\u00a0 \u201cEnough, enough, do not go any further; you want to speak of Mercy, and what about Justice \u2013 what are we going to do with It?
\nI have told you and I repeat to you:\u00a0 \u2018It is necessary that Justice follow Its course\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n

So I replied:\u00a0 \u201cThere is no remedy – why then leave me on this earth when I can no longer placate You and suffer in the place of my neighbor?\u00a0 Since it is so, it is better
\nif You let me die.\u201d<\/p>\n

At that moment I saw another person behind the shoulders of blessed Jesus, and He told me, almost making a sign with His eyes:\u00a0 \u201cPresent yourself to My Father and see what He tells you.\u201d<\/p>\n

I (Luisa) presented myself (to God the Father), all trembling, and as soon as He saw me, He told me:\u00a0 \u201cWhy have you come to Me?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

And I (Luisa):\u00a0 \u201cAdorable Goodness, infinite Mercy, knowing that You are Mercy Itself, I have come to ask for your Mercy \u2013 Mercy on your very images, Mercy on the works created by You; Mercy on nothing else but your creatures themselves.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

And He (God the Father) said to me (Luisa):\u00a0 \u201cSo, it is Mercy that you want.\u00a0 But if you want true Mercy, after Justice has poured Itself out It will produce abundant fruits of Mercy<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Not knowing what else to say,\u00a0I (Luisa) said:\u00a0 \u201cFather, infinitely Holy, when servants or people in need present themselves before their masters or rich people, if these are good, even if they do not give everything that is necessary for them, they always give something.\u00a0 And to me, who have had the good of presenting myself before You, absolute Master, rich without limit, infinite Goodness, don\u2019t You want to give anything of what this poor little one has asked of You?\u00a0 Does a master perhaps not remain more honored and content when he gives, than when he denies what is necessary to his servants?\u201d<\/p>\n

After a moment of silence\u00a0He (God the Father) added:\u00a0 \u201cFor love of you, instead of doing ten, I will do five.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Having said this, They disappeared, and in several places of the earth, especially of Europe, I saw wars, civil wars and revolutions multiply.<\/p>\n

Volume 6 – June 20, 1904
\n<\/strong>Victim souls are the daughters of Mercy.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

After I struggled very much, blessed Jesus came for just a little and told me:\u00a0 \u201cMy daughter, human perfidy has reached such a point as to exhaust My Mercy on its part.
\nBut My goodness is so great as to constitute daughters of Mercy, so that on the part of creatures also, this attribute may not be exhausted<\/strong>.\u00a0\u00a0These are the victims who are in full ownership of the Divine Will, having destroyed their own.\u00a0 In fact, in these souls, the container given by Me in creating them is in full vigor, and since they have
\nreceived the particle of My Mercy, being daughters, they administer it to others.\u00a0 It is understood, however, that in order to be able to administer the particle of My Mercy to others, they themselves must be in Justice.\u201d<\/p>\n

And I:\u00a0 \u201cLord, who can ever be in Justice?\u201d<\/p>\n

And He:\u00a0 \u201cOne who does not commit grave sins and abstains from committing the slightest venial sins of his own will.\u201d<\/p>\n
