Lord Jesus, I trust in you!

You have heard that it was said, 'You shall not commit adultery;' but I tell you that everyone who gazes at a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already in his heart. If your right eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and throw it away from you. For it is more profitable for you that one of your members should perish, than for your whole body to be cast into Gehenna. If your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off, and throw it away from you. For it is more profitable for you that one of your members should perish, than for your whole body to be cast into Gehenna. 'It was also said, 'Whoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorce,' but I tell you that whoever puts away his wife, except for the cause of sexual immorality, makes her an adulteress; and whoever marries her when she is put away commits adultery. 'Again you have heard that it was said to them of old time, 'You shall not make false vows, but shall perform to the Lord your vows,' but I tell you, don't swear at all: neither by heaven, for it is the throne of God; nor by the earth, for it is the footstool of his feet; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King. Neither shall you swear by your head, for you can't make one hair white or black. But let your 'Yes' be 'Yes' and your 'No' be 'No.' Whatever is more than these is of the evil one. 'You have heard that it was said, 'An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.'* But I tell you, don't resist him who is evil; but whoever strikes you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also. If anyone sues you to take away your coat, let him have your cloak also. Whoever compels you to go one mile, go with him two. Give to him who asks you, and don't turn away him who desires to borrow from you. 'You have heard that it was said, 'You shall love your neighbor,* and hate your enemy.*' But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you, that you may be children of your Father who is in heaven.

Lord Jesus, I trust in you!

A couple of years ago, I became very ill, and for seven weeks I was confined to a clinic in Australia, where I live. I had heart disease: my valves were damaged, my blood was infected, I had gallstones in my gall bladder, water in my lungs, thyroid problems, blood in my urine, a blood clot in my aorta, a fever of over 40 degrees Celsius and cysts in my intestines. After going to the hospital, I spent a week on life-support. The disease didn’t abate and my condition deteriorated. The doctor, who was a Pole, asked me whether I could come up with anything else, since it seemed I had all the diseases possible. I lost 20 kilos, even though my weight normally never went over 50 kilos. My condition was becoming critical, and they transferred me to an isolation unit. Not even my family was permitted to visit me. When I prayed, I felt well, and I didn’t experience any pain. I told myself that this was nothing in comparison with what Jesus suffered.

The hospital personnel saw that the end was coming for me and called a priest to administer the last rights. The priest was French, and, praying in Latin, he administered the sacrament of the sick to me. Then he said, “‘Lord Jesus, I trust in you!’ Repeat this after me”. He stroked my head and before leaving added: “sleep peacefully”. I was completely conscious and aware. When the priest left, at about 4 in the afternoon, I fell asleep. I woke up at 7 in the morning when the doctor came into my room. My doctor examined me and said: “everything has cleared up. How did that happen?” Another doctor and some medical students who were there looked at me wondering. I knew that it was the Lord Jesus who had healed me when he came to me in the sacrament of anointing of the sick. He healed me because I trusted in Him.

I stayed in the hospital one more week, since they expected the disease to return. Then they removed some cysts and stones and implanted new valves. I, on the other hand, considered what the words “Jesus, I trust in you” meant. What kind of prayer is this? It was explained to me that this is part of the Chaplet of Divine Mercy. I started to pray it, and still do so today.

Please, pray to Jesus through the intercession of Mary. They will listen to you and help you.
