Fourth Day:
Today bring to Me
THOSE WHO DO NOT BELIEVE IN GOD* AND THOSE WHO DO NOT YET KNOW ME. I was
thinking also of them during My bitter Passion, and their future zeal comforted
My Heart. Immerse them in the ocean of My mercy.
Most compassionate Jesus, You are the Light of the whole world. Receive into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart the souls of those who do not believe in God and of those who as yet do not know You. Let the rays of Your grace enlighten them that they, too, together with us, may extol Your wonderful mercy; and do not let them escape from the abode which is Your Most Compassionate Heart.
Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon the souls of those who do not believe in You, and of those who as yet do not know You, but who are enclosed in the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. Draw them to the light of the Gospel. These souls do not know what great happiness it is to love You. Grant that they, too, may extol the generosity of Your mercy for endless ages. Amen.

*Our Lord's original
words here were "the pagans." Since the pontificate of Pope John
XXIII, the Church has seen fit to replace this term with clearer and more
appropriate terminology.

Fifth Day:
Today bring to Me THE
SOULS OF THOSE WHO HAVE SEPARATED THEMSELVES FROM MY CHURCH,* and immerse
them in the ocean of My mercy. During My bitter Passion they tore at My Body
and Heart, that is, My Church. As they return to unity with the Church, My
wounds heal and in this way they alleviate My Passion.
Most Merciful Jesus, Goodness Itself, You do not refuse light to those who seek it of You. Receive into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart the souls of those who have separated themselves from Your Church. Draw them by Your light into the unity of the Church, and do not let them escape from the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart; but bring it about that they, too, come to glorify the generosity of Your mercy.
Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon the souls of those who have separated themselves from Your Son's Church, who have squandered Your blessings and misused Your graces by obstinately persisting in their errors. Do not look upon their errors, but upon the love of Your own Son and upon His bitter Passion, which He underwent for their sake, since they, too, are enclosed in His Most Compassionate Heart. Bring it about that they also may glorify Your great mercy for endless ages. Amen.

*Our Lord's original
words here were "heretics and schismatics," since He spoke to Saint
Faustina within the context of her times. As of the Second Vatican Council,
Church authorities have seen fit not to use those designations in accordance
with the explanation given in the Council's Decree on Ecumenism (n.3). Every
pope since the Council has reaffirmed that usage. Saint Faustina herself, her
heart always in harmony with the mind of the Church, most certainly would have
agreed. When at one time,
because of the decisions of her superiors and Father confessor, she was not
able to execute Our Lord's inspirations and orders, she declared: "I will
follow Your will insofar as You will permit me to do so through Your
representative. O my Jesus, I give priority to the voice of the Church over the
voice with which You speak to me" (Diary, 497). The Lord confirmed
her action and praised her for it.
