To keep things in perspective, I wish to post this:

DIVINE MERCY

        A local devotion under this title, which is associated with one Sr.
Faustina and a chaplet of the Divine Mercy, was approved by the Ordinary of
Vilnius, Poland, in 1936 and from there spread rapidly, especially after World
War II in the United States.

        It appears that Sr. Faustina could not write, except for a few lines
phonetically.  Most of her "diary" was concocted by her sisters after her
death.  Because of the incongruities of the dairy (different handwriting,
different use of terms), the devotion was suppressed, and the book of her
diary was placed on the Index Librorum Prohibitorum [Index of Forbidden
Books].  This decision was upheld by Pope John XXIII in 1958/59.

        In early 1978, a Polish cardinal petitioned the Vatican to remove the
suppression of the devotion, which was being practiced without sanction in
his diocese, and the Vatican replied in the negative, confirming the
suppression.  By this time the original devotion had been illegally replaced by
an oecuмenized version framed in New Order terminology -- with substantially
changed prayers to promote non-Catholic beliefs and the heresy of universal
salvation.  Later in 1978 a Polish pope was elected, and the now modernized
version, twice condemned, was now entered onto the Novus Ordo liturgical
calendar on the Octave of Easter.

        The Octave Day of a feast, particularly of the greatest feast,
Easter, is a significant day in itself.  The Divine Mercy cult is thus in
contravention of the focus of the Catholic liturgy for that day,
which is on the Resurrection of Our Lord and faith in His Divinity.  As Dom
Gueranger, the noted Benedictine liturgical scholar, commented in his
fifteen-volume Liturgical Year:  "Such is the solemnity of this Sunday that
not only is it of greater double rite, but no feast, however great, can ever
be kept upon it."  That is the Roman Catholic attitude, which the New Order
spurned.

        Not surprisingly, the cult in post-Conciliar times is increasing in its
association with another cult, that is, the cult of "Catholic" Charismaticism.  
This Charismatic Movement is far from true Catholicism, but is a derivative of
the Protestant heresy, based on the erroneous notion that emotional experience
always accompanies the conferral of grace, whereas the Catholic doctrine is that
the only sensible indication of the conferral of grace is the Sacrament itself.  
Perhaps the cult's association with New Age ideas is why it has become lionized
in recent years, whereas popes up to JPII have condemned it.

        Is it any wonder that the New Order pushes this corrupted devotion over
the traditional devotion to the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus?  The devotion to the
Most Sacred Heart of Jesus is a much more ancient devotion, having grown in the
early Middle Ages through the efforts of St. Bernard of Clairvaux, a Doctor of
the Church, and St. Gertrude.   However, it was in the latter half of the
seventeenth century that news of three private revelations to St. Margaret Mary
Alocoque concerning the Sacred Heart swept the Catholic world and shortly led to
the establishment of a feast on the Friday after the Octave of Corpus Christi
(the Friday after the Second Sunday after Pentecost).

        The Feast of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, which was extended to
the Universal Church by Pope Pius IX in 1856, became a feast of atonement for
human ingratitude toward God in spite of the supreme sacrifice of Calvary.  
The theme for the new Mass and the Divine Office was taken from the words of
Our Lord to St. Margaret Mary:  "Behold the Heart which has loved men so
greatly, but which has been given so little love in return."

        Devotion to the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus has been richly
indulgenced by the Church, and a Litany of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus is
one of only five approved for public recitation.  Given the apparent New Order's
corruption of the original devotion to the divine mercy and the pushing
of this Charismatic novelty condemned by two popes, traditional Catholics will
continue to stand with the more ancient and universally-approved devotion to the
Most Sacred Heart of Jesus and reject this New Order novelty.

As JP2 also promoted absolute indifference with respect to religion (even lending a helping hand to voo-doo in lands like Benin), his "stamp of approval" on this matter means nothing - even to many who accept him as a true Pontiff.

Good Job Matthew, and Traditio has a misunderstood form of writing and wit, but, if someone writes the truth (and there is truth behind his postings) it then becomes a matter of those not wishing to accept truth.
Reading of the great devotion that the French Catholics had during the Revolution to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the plain truth that having that badge on your person anywhere condemed you to a savage death (many times not making it to "Madame Guiolltine") but being ripped to pieces by a satanic induced crowd. What was it that so inflamed the demoniacs? The site of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and why wouldn't Satan replace that devotion to a  new, gentler, less damning verson of Mercy and no Hell

Our Pope John Paul II showed to everyone his wisdom
and respect for God's Will

But some will not see that his 'ecuмenism' was an attack upon Roman Catholicism. His views were not Catholic. So one might well suspect that his heart was not with The Church. His words and actions clearly were not.

But his supporters, particularly when he died, tried to enshrine this fake as JP II The Great. As 'The Great'. I kid you not. It sounds insane. But you would see that in writing, and in placards that people waved. Even while you don't see those efforts, today, it really did happen.

How can it be wise to follow a book with dubious origins?

Crossing the Threshold of Hope, by JP II 'The Great'?

Here is a testimony I have received recently as a reply
to my post in another forum :

Have you seen or heard this done on EWTN? You can also get this on video (the Divine Mercy Chaplet in song.). It is
extremely moving. We have used this to help share some of our faiths treasures with our protestant neighbors and friends. Our neighbors through a good deal of sharing (being lead by God to do so) and the Holy Spirit preparing good ground now consider themselves "batholics" instead of baptists.

It is wonderful that people of various denomination can unite in praying,especially saying a chaplet to God's Mercy.
I encourage all of you to pray and to expand God's Glory!
