Poem

Sr. Faustina had prayed...
for souls to be un-decayed

her Divine Mercy crusade--
was for a long time delayed

her cool Diary -- forbade!
its publishers, too afraid!!

its devotees, all dismayed
but the Marians obeyed :)

its Message refused to fade,
and the editors -- inveighed

my fave part: when she crocheted
to please Goodness Itself -- rayed

His Blood and Water --- displayed
to seek our soul's worth (mislaid)

to restore our hearts/ persuade
to follow His path-- yet unmade

through Mary's pure Heart: our glade
protect us from Sorrow's blade! ----->

by His new Chaplet-- allayed
with Mercy Song, serenade...

usher in Healing-- pervade!
let my soul not be decayed

"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. The miracle of Divine Mercy restores that soul in full. Oh, how miserable are those who do not take advantage of the miracle of God’s mercy! You will call out in vain, but it will be too late!" (Diary, par. 1448).
