This document shares a prayer from St. John Eudes about divine mercy. The prayer describes how divine mercy extends over God's works of nature, grace, and glory. It states that through divine mercy, man was drawn from darkness into nature's order. Through grace, man was not only withdrawn from sin but restored to a noble state as a child of God. And through glory, man is made a partaker of God's divine nature, immortal glory, and eternal happiness. The prayer concludes that divine mercy fills not just the earth but heaven, earth, and the whole universe, and is even found in hell since the damned are not punished as much as they deserved.

EUDIST PRAYER
The Eudist Associates of the Quebec North Shore would like
to share this prayer from the St John Eudes Complete Works
(volume VII, pages 7 and 8). We would like to take this oppor-
tunity to salute all the communities that keep this privileged
link with the Eudists:
Divine Mercy is a perfection which
regards the miseries of the creature,
to relieve it, and even to deliver it,
when it is proper according to the
orders of Divine Providence, which
does all things in number, weight,
and measure. This adorable mercy
extends, as well as goodness, over all
the works of God: the works of natu-
re, the works of grace, and the works
of glory.
On the works of nature, in that it has
drawn from the darkness all the
things which are contained in the
order of nature, which were from all
eternity in the dark.
On the works of grace, in this that
man having fallen into sin, divine
mercy not only withdrew it, but res-
tored it into a state of grace so noble
and so divine that it made him a member of Jesus Christ and
child of God, and consequently heir of God and co-heir of the
only begotten Son of God.

3. 3
On the works of glory, because, not content with having raised
man in the supernatural and sublime state of the Christian gra-
ce, by which he is made partakers of the divine nature, uplif-
ting him to the throne of God, to the participation of his im-
mortal glory, and even to the enjoyment of his eternal happi-
ness and all the goods he possesses. And so, all things which are
in the order of nature, in the order of grace and in the order of
glory, are so many effects of divine mercy. So that it truthfully
may be said that not only is the earth full of the mercy of the
Lord, but that
heaven, earth, and
the whole universe
are filled with it; And
even that it is found
in hell, since accor-
ding to St. Thomas
and the other theolo-
gians, the damned
are not punished as much as they deserved. This is an effect of
divine mercy which extends over all the works of God.
