Divine Mercy Sunday: Sacrament of Mercy When you go to confession, to this fountain of mercy, the Blood and Water which came forth from My Heart always flows down upon your soul (Diary, 1602).

The person of the priest is, for Me, only a screen. Never analyze what sort of priest it is that I am making use of; open your soul in confession as you would to Me, and I will fill it with My light (1725). Were a soul like a decaying corpse, so that from a human standpoint, there would be no hope of restoration and everything would already be lost, it is not so with God.
