Heart of Jesus, I adore Thee.
Heart of Mary, I implore thee.
Heart of Joseph, pure and just,
in these three hearts
I place my trust.
Amen.
Sister Faustina Maria Pia of the Sisters for Life composed this Litany of Trust. May it give you child-like confidence in our Lord's unfathomable love and mercy.

I too pray for G-d's mercy now, and every day.
Sometimes that is all we can do, Mirka. I've been pondering "I desire mercy, not sacrifice" for some time now and what a gift to have Divine Mercy. Blessings to you!
I love the Litany of Trust. Provides so much comfort.
