In the morning, God's presence enveloped me in a special way, as I saw the immeasurable greatness of God and, at the same time, his great humility towards his creatures. Then I heard Jesus speak these words:

"In the Old Covenant, I sent prophets wielding thunderbolts to my people. Today, I am sending you with my mercy to the people of the whole world. I do not want to punish aching mankind, but I desire to heal it, pressing it to my merciful heart. I use punishment when they themselves force me to do so. My hand is reluctant to take hold of the sword of justice. Before the day of justice, I am sending the day of mercy."

After hearing these words, I started to say my Chaplet of Divine Mercy, and after I finished it, the Lord spoke to me, saying:

"Oh, what great graces I will grant to souls who say this Chaplet. The very depths of my tender mercy are stirred for the sake of those who say the Chaplet. Write down these words, my daughter. Speak to the whole world about my mercy. Let all mankind recognize my unfathomable mercy. It is a sign for the end times. After it will come the day of justice. While there is still time, let them have recourse to the fount of my mercy."
