Jesus is extending His mercy to mankind at this time, even as men apparently destroy the planet and one another. For the same pope once said:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><strong>The sin of the century is the loss of the sense of sin.<\/strong> \u20141946 address to the United States Catechetical Congress<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Even now, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.markmallett.com\/blog\/2013\/04\/07\/the-great-refuge-and-safe-harbour\/\">message of Divine Mercy<\/a> is spreading all over the world as we enter the darkest hours of this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.markmallett.com\/blog\/2016\/11\/07\/in-this-vigil\/\">vigil<\/a>. If we identify the rider in Chapter Six of Revelation as the King of Mercy, then a message of hope suddenly emerges: even in the breaking of the seals and the onset of unspeakable man-made disasters and catastrophes, Jesus the King of kings,\u00a0<em>will still be working to save souls;<\/em>\u00a0the time of mercy does not end in tribulation, but is perhaps particularly manifest <em>in<\/em> it. Indeed, as I wrote in\u00a0<em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.markmallett.com\/blog\/2017\/09\/13\/mercy-in-chaos\/\">Mercy in Chaos<\/a>,\u00a0<\/em>and as we know from countless stories of people who have had near-death experiences, God often affords them an instant &#8220;judgment&#8221; or preview of their life that flashes before their eyes. This has often led to &#8220;quick&#8221; conversions in many. In fact, Jesus shoots the arrows of His mercy even into souls who are moments from eternity:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><em><strong>God\u2019s mercy sometimes touches the sinner at the last moment in a wondrous and mysterious way. Outwardly, it seems as if everything were lost, but it is not so. The soul, illumined by a ray of God\u2019s powerful final grace, turns to God in the last moment with such a power of love that, in an instant, it receives from God forgiveness of sin and punishment, while outwardly it shows no sign either of repentance or of contrition, because souls [at that stage] no longer react to external things. Oh, how beyond comprehension is God\u2019s mercy! But\u2014horror!\u2014there are also souls who voluntarily and consciously reject and scorn this grace! Although a person is at the point of death, the merciful God gives the soul that interior vivid moment, so that if the soul is willing, it has the possibility of returning to God. But sometimes, the obduracy in souls is so great that consciously they choose hell; they [thus] make useless all the prayers that other souls offer to God for them and even the efforts of God Himself\u2026<\/strong><\/em> \u2014Diary of St. Faustina, Divine Mercy in My Soul, n. 1698<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>So, while we might see the future as bleak, God, who has an eternal perspective, sees the coming tribulations as perhaps the only way to save souls from eternal perdition.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The last thing I want to point out here is that we should not interpret this first appearance of the Rider upon the white horse as a sole actor. No, these &#8220;victories&#8221; of Jesus are primarily<em> through us<\/em>, His Mystical Body. As St. Victorinus said,<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><strong>The first seal being opened, [St. John] says that he saw a white horse, and a crowned horseman having a bow\u2026 He sent the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.newadvent.org\/cathen\/07409a.htm\">Holy Spirit<\/a>, whose words <em>the preachers sent forth as arrows<\/em> reaching to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.newadvent.org\/cathen\/09580c.htm\">human<\/a> heart, that they might overcome unbelief.<\/strong> \u2014<em>Commentary on the Apocalypse, <\/em>Ch. 6:1-2<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Thus, the Church can identify herself also with the Rider upon the white horse because she shares in Christ&#8217;s own mission, and thus, wears a crown as well:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'courier new', courier, monospace;\">I am coming quickly.
