Margaret Mary, Therésè of Lisieux, Faustina, Lúcia, Francisco and Jacinta of Fatima, Maximilian Kolbe, and John Paul II were ordinary people, now saints, who faced worldwide tragedies during their time. And though they are generations apart, they all had one central message -- complete trust to Jesus and His Divine Mercy, with the loving aid of our Blessed Mother.
And in the face of today's pandemic, it is timely to recall St. John Paul II's 1980 encyclical (Dives in Misericordia), 'Let us have recourse to God through Christ, mindful of the words of Mary's Magnificat, which proclaim mercy "from generation to generation." Let us implore God's mercy for the present generation.'
