“The Lord gave me much light to know His attributes. The first attribute that the Lord revealed to me is to know is His holiness. His holiness is so great that all the Powers and Virtues tremble before Him. The holiness of God is poured out upon the Church of God and upon every living soul, but not in the same degree. There are souls who are completely penetrated by God, and there are those who are barely alive. The second form of knowledge that the Lord granted me concerns His justice. His justice is so great and penetrating that it reaches deep into the heart of things, and all things stand before Him in naked truth.
The third attribute He revealed is His love and mercy. And I understood that this is the greatest attribute. It unites the creature with the Creator. This immense love and abyss of mercy are made known in the Incarnation of the Word and in the Redemption [of humanity], and it is here that I saw this as the greatest of all God’s attributes”
(Saint Faustina's Diary 180).
