St. Faustina’s prayer to be merciful begins with: “Help me, O Lord, that my eyes may be merciful.” This mercy prayer asks God for the grace to be merciful.

I will not forget. Lord, you are the God who saves me. I have been washed clean, forgiven, and redeemed by your Precious Blood.

Jesus heal me with your love. Be merciful to me a sinner, for I have been humbled. Bind my wounds with your healing touch. Help me love you, I pray.

Lord help me fully forgive those who have done evil things to me. Lord help me be merciful and forgive from my heart.

You are merciful to me, Lord. I will learn your teachings. I love you Lord, and I’ll obey your laws because you are trustworthy and your rules are just.
