Epilogue: Allegorical Meditation on the Power of Divine Mercy

The great saints are the holy knights of Christ,

And when we ask them to pray for us,

They promptly and courageously respond.

And so, I invite ten glorious saints,

Along with my trustworthy guardian angel,

To wholeheartedly pray with me, and for me.

Grasping their swords, the swords of the Spirit,

These Holy Eleven brandish them high in the air,

And they confidently intercede for my intentions.

Through the power of the Holy Spirit,

Their magnificent swords are ignited by their

Faithful and fervent intercessions to The Master.

Then, their prayerful weapons are transfigured

And become as dazzlingly brilliant as the Sonlight,

Shattering the gloom in the deep dark night.

I am not alone, and together we will triumph;

I have great trust in Jesus, The Divine Mercy,

For nothing will be impossible for God!

Amen.
