“Today, during Easter Mass, I saw Jesus in great brightness,
He came up to me and said, ‘Peace to you, My children’. And He raised His hand and blessed us.
The wounds on His hands, feet, and side were not obliterated but shining brilliantly (…)
and my soul was filled with bliss and joy indescribable.
My heart was strengthened for the battle and the suffering.”
(Diary 205, 1067)
Dear Apostles of Divine Mercy!
At this holy and festive time, the Risen and Merciful Jesus comes to each of us with the gift of peace. In His radiant wounds, we recognise the Love that passed through suffering, death and the tomb, and remains with us for ever as the source of life and hope. May gazing upon the glorified wounds of Jesus lead you ever deeper into the mystery of Divine Mercy, which never shrinks from human weakness, but transforms it by its grace.
I wish that you may come ever more deeply to experience and to discover that God’s mercy is revealed most fully where human frailty is felt, and that it is precisely there that the Risen One comes with His blessing, the power of new life and the gift of peace.
Let us pray that this peace may embrace human hearts, heal what is wounded, and unite what is divided; and that through your works of mercy and your witness to a life lived in trust in God, it may reach those places where anxiety, fear and doubt prevail.
May the peace of the Risen Lord dwell in your hearts, strengthen you in your daily lives, and become a gift which you bring to the world!
