APOSTLE OF THE DIVINE MERCY
I want to be completely transformed into Your mercy and to be Your living reflection, O Lord. May the greatest of all divine attributes, that of Your unfathomable mercy, pass through my heart and soul to my neighbor.
Help me, O Lord, that my eyes may be merciful, so that I may never suspect or judge from appearances, but look for what is beautiful in my neighbors' souls and come to their rescue.
Help me, that my ears may be merciful, so that I may give heed to my neighbors' needs and not be indifferent to their pains and moanings.
Help me, O Lord, that my tongue may be merciful, so that I should never speak negatively of my neighbor, but have a word of comfort and forgiveness for all.
Help me, O Lord, that my hands may be merciful and filled with good deeds, so that I may do only good to my neighbors and take upon myself the more difficult and toilsome tasks.
Help me, that my feet may be merciful, so that I may hurry to assist my neighbor, overcoming my own fatigue and weariness. My true rest is in the service of my neighbor.
Help me, O Lord, that my heart may be merciful so that I myself may feel all the sufferings of my neighbor. I will refuse my heart to no one. I will be sincere even with those who, I know, will abuse my kindness. And I will lock myself up in the most merciful Heart of Jesus. I will bear my own suffering in silence. May Your mercy, O Lord, rest upon me .
O my Jesus, transform me into Yourself , for you can do all things.

St Faustina was charged by Our Lord to show the world His great mercy and to pray the Chaplet, a series of prayers asking forgiveness through the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross, especially on behalf of those souls who are dying. She was told that, every day at 3pm, the hour of Christ's passion on the cross, prayer, even if just for a moment, dwelling on the Lord's mercy was to be said. These instructions were to aid her in spreading word of God's great mercy to others, a mercy that God shows to save us from judgment.

So they're making a film about her? that's what the link said. I really found this very interesting especially with what's going on in the world right now. Imagine if we could all meditate and pray on real mercy - even if we did it for five minutes a day - every single person. It would totally turn around so many of the world's problems - if people would just entertain the thought that maybe the other guy is a bit right.
