Jeremias 11:4 – “Tahura ninyo ang akong tingog, ug buhata sila, sumala sa tanang gisugo ko
kaninyo; aron kamo mahimong akong katawohan, ug ako mahimo nga inyong Dios”

Num. 21:8-9 – “Ug giingnan si Moises sa GINOO, "Paghimog bitin nga tumbaga, ug ibutang
kini sa tumoy sa usa ka tukon; ug ang hipaakag bitin, kon makakita niini, dili mamatay.” vBusa
nagbuhat si Moises ug bitin nga tumbaga, ug gibutang kini niya sa tumoy sa usa ka tukon; ug kon
ang hipaakag bitin motan-aw sa bitin nga tumbaga, dili siya mamatay.

Kaalam ni Solomon 16:6-7 – “Unya gihatagan mo sila sa usa ka simbolo nga makaayo, ang
tumbaga nga bitin, aron pagpahinumdom kanila unsa ang gipangayo sa imong Balaod. V Kon ang
usa ka tawo motan-aw niadtong simbolo, maayo siya gikan sa kalala sa pinaakan sa bitin—dili
pinaagi sa ilang nakita kondili pinaagi kanimo, ang manluluwas sa tanang katawhan.”

San Juan 3:14 – “Ingon nga giisa ni Moises didto sa kamingawan ang bitin nga tumbaga nga
gibutang ug tukon, ang Anak sa Tawo kinahanglan nga iisa usab, varon ang tanan nga motuo
kaniya makabaton ug kinabuhing walay kataposan.

Saint Faustina on her Diary Notebook 1, item 47

Feb. 22, 1931
In the evening, when I was in my cell, I saw the Lord Jesus clothed in a white garment. One hand
 PAGKA-DIOS NI KRISTO

[was] raised in the gesture of blessing, the other was touching the garment at the breast. From
beneath the garment, slightly drawn aside at the breast, there were eminating two large rays, one
red, the other pale. In silence I kept my gaze fixed on the Lord; my soul was struckwith awe, but
also with great joy. After a while, Jesus said to me,
“Paint an image according to the pattern you see, with the signature: "Jesus, I trust in You”. I
desire that this image be venerated, first in your chapel, and then throughout the world.”

Not in the beauty of the colour, nor of the brush lies the greatness of this image, but in My grace.
— Words attributed to Jesus by Faustina in her diary Item 313

“I am offering people a vessel with which they are to keep coming for graces to the fountain of
mercy. That vessel is this image with the signature; 'Jesus, I trust in You.”

Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name; Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done on
earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive
those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil, Amen.
4. Hail Mary
Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the
fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of
our death, Amen.
5. The Apostle's Creed
I believe in God, the Father almighty, Creator of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, His only
Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under
Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried; He descended into hell; on the third day He rose
again from the dead; He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of God the Father
almighty; from there He will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the
holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the
body, and life everlasting. Amen.

Eternal Father, I offer you the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Your Dearly Beloved Son,
Our Lord, Jesus Christ, in atonement for our sins and those of the whole world.

For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world.

sorrowful Passion" (7) on the following "Hail Mary" beads.
9. Conclude with Holy God (Repeat three times)
Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us and on the whole world.
10. Optional Closing Prayer
Eternal God, in whom mercy is endless and the treasury of compassion — inexhaustible, look
kindly upon us and increase Your mercy in us, that in difficult moments we might not despair nor
become despondent, but with great confidence submit ourselves to Your holy will, which is Love
and Mercy itself.
