ATTACHMENT I
Heavenly Requests Made By:
Heavenly Requests Made By:
(I) The Mother of God, the Virgin Mary, starting with Her visit to Catherine Labouré at
Rue de Bac, Paris, in 1830, up to and including the contemporary ones; and
(II) Jesus Christ Himself. Most specifically, the requests delivered through Blessed Sister
Maria Faustina (1931-1938) of the Divine Mercy. (1)
Highlights of Specific Requests
(a) An immediate return to the Sacraments and to live a life in accordance with the Gospel.
(Balanced and without fanaticism.)
(b) First Saturday Acts of Reparation to the Immaculate Heart of Mary;
(c) Adoration and Reparation to the Eucharistic Presence of Our Lord Jesus Christ;
(d) Implementation of the Feast of Mercy and the devotion to the Mercy of God.
Details on the Requested Feast of Mercy
"...I desire that the Feast of Mercy be a refuge and shelter
for all souls, and especially for poor sinners... It is My desire that it be solemnly celebrated
on the first Sunday after Easter. Mankind will not have peace until it turns to the Fount of My
Mercy." Ntbk.II:699 (1)
"My image already is in your soul. I desire that there be a
Feast of Mercy. I want this image
(2)... be solemnly blessed on the
first Sunday after Easter; that Sunday is to be the Feast of Mercy." Ntbk.I:49
"And who knows anything about this feast? No one! Even those
who should be proclaiming My mercy and teaching people about it often do not know about it
themselves. That is why I want the image... to be venerated publicly so that every soul may know
about it." Ntbk.I:341
"I desire that priests proclaim this great mercy of Mine toward
souls of sinners... Distrust of my chosen souls causes Me even greater pain: despite My
inexhaustible love for them they do not trust Me. Even My death was not enough for them. Woe to
the soul that abuses these [gifts]." Ntbk.I:50
"I desire that this image be displayed in public on the first Sunday after Easter. That Sunday is
the Feast of Mercy." Ntbk.I:88
Details on the Second Coming
(Our Lady Speaking to Sister Faustina) "...I gave the Savior to
the world; as for you, you have to speak y\to the world about His great mercy and prepare the
world for the Second Coming of Him who will come, not as a merciful Saviour, but as a just Judge.
Oh, how terrible is that day!... Speak to souls about this great mercy while it is still the time
for [granting] mercy. If you keep silent now, you will be answering for a great number of souls on
that terrible day. Fear nothing. Be faithful to the end..." Ntbk.II:635
"...I am giving them the last hope of salvation; that is, the
Feast of My Mercy. ...tell souls about this great mercy of Mine, because the awful day, the day of
My justice, is near." Ntbk.II:965
"...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;..." Ntbk.II:848
"...before I come as the just Judge, I am coming first as the
King of Mercy. Before the day of justice arrives, there will be given to people a sign in the
heavens of this sort: ...the sign of the cross will be seen in the sky, and from the openings
where the hands and the feet of the Savior were nailed will come forth great lights..."
Ntbk.I:83.
