Jesus the Divine Mercy revealed Himself to St Faustina in the 20th century and His messages to her revealed very different aspects of his Divine Mercy.
https://www.ewtn.com/catholicism/devotions/second-coming-13377 "You will prepare the world for My final coming." (Diary 429) "Speak to the world about My 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 fountain of My mercy." (Diary 848) "Tell souls about this great mercy of Mine, because the awful day, the day of My justice, is near." (Diary 965). "I am prolonging the time of mercy for the sake of sinners. But woe to them if they do not recognize this time of My visitation." (Diary 1160) "Before the Day of Justice, I am sending the Day of Mercy." (Diary 1588) "He who refuses to pass through the door of My mercy must pass through the door of My justice." (Diary 1146). In addition to these words of Our Lord Sr. Faustina gives us the Words of the Mother of Mercy, the Blessed Virgin, "You have to speak to the world about His great mercy and prepare the world for the Second Coming of Him who will come, not as a merciful Savior, but as a just Judge. Oh how terrible is that day! Determined is the day of justice, the day of divine wrath. The angels tremble before it. Speak to souls about this great mercy while it is still the time for granting mercy. (Diary 635)."
The mercy increased because the sins got harder to avoid, IMHO. People need daily access to the Eucharist, easily attained indulgences and a near baptismal do-over once a year just to keep up.
Maybe plenary indulgences? The yearly Divine Mercy plenary indulgence? My dear Father in law that had lived most of his life in sin with no confession benefitted extraordinarily from the mercy of Divine Mercy Sunday shortly before his speedy death. I am so grateful to Jesus.
From Aleteia, this evening: Pope Leo speaks with Zelensky, renews ceasefire plea As famine grips Russian-occupied Oleshky, the Pope hopes an agreement can open the way for aid deliveries and the safe evacuation of civilians. Published on 10/19/26| I.Media |3 min read This photo taken and handout on December 9, 2025 by The Vatican Media shows Pope Leo XIV during a meeting with Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky, in Castel Gandolfo. The two exchanged gifts. Three days after a phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin, Pope Leo XIV spoke with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on October 19, 2026, the Vatican announced. Once again, the humanitarian crisis in Oleshky was central to their discussion, with the Pope renewing his appeal for a "humanitarian ceasefire." According to a brief statement issued by the Holy See Press Office late in the day this Monday, the Pope recalled "the grave situation in the city of Oleshky, in the Kherson region." He also referred to "the request for a humanitarian ceasefire" he had already made to Putin. The southern Ukrainian city, under Russian military occupation since 2022, is facing famine as well as the conflict; aid cannot get in and the population cannot get out. Shutterstock The Pope, who returned to the Vatican on Saturday, expressed hope that "cooperation between both parties will allow for the delivery of food and medical aid" and the "voluntary and safe evacuation of the civilian population." He also reaffirmed "the commitment of the Holy See to promoting dialogue and peace," the statement concluded. Previous conversations with Putin The conversation came three days after Leo XIV spoke with Putin by phone on October 16 from Rome's Gemelli Hospital, where he was receiving treatment. During that call, he expressed his "deep concern about the grave humanitarian situation in the city of Oleshky," according to a Vatican statement. The text used much the same language as the one issued on Monday. Leo XIV and Putin had already spoken by phone on June 4, 2025. At the time, the Pope had appealed for Russia to make "a gesture that would favor peace." He also emphasized the importance of dialogue between the two sides to "seek solutions to the conflict," according to Vatican News. That conversation marked the highest-level contact between Russia and the Holy See since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022. Frequent contact with Zelensky Contacts with the Ukrainian president have been more frequent since the beginning of Leo XIV's pontificate. On April 3, 2026, ahead of Easter, the Pope spoke with Zelensky by phone, extending his Easter greetings and reaffirming "his closeness to the Ukrainian people." Leo XIV and Zelensky have also met in person three times. Their first meeting took place on May 18, 2025, when the Ukrainian president attended the Pope's inaugural Mass and had an opportunity to speak with him privately. The following July 9, the Pope received Zelensky at his residence in Castel Gandolfo, where he was spending his vacation. Leo reiterated the Holy See's willingness "to welcome representatives of Russia and Ukraine to the Vatican for negotiations." He also encouraged efforts aimed at "the release of prisoners and the search for shared solutions," according to the official statement. The Pope received Zelensky again on December 9, 2025, also at Castel Gandolfo. During that meeting, he expressed his urgent desire that "the current diplomatic initiatives bring about a just and lasting peace." On October 11, shortly before announcing his upcoming surgery, Leo expressed concern about the disruption of grain exports from Russia and Ukraine through the Black Sea, amid increasing attacks by both sides. With many countries in Asia, Africa, and the Middle East suffering the consequences, he called for the safe passage of grain shipments. "The daily bread of millions of people cannot be held hostage by the war," he declared.
