In effect this says God is bound by "Necessity". That's heresy from our pov.

Then you are denying the authenticity of these words by Christ, to a saint? Have either of you you read St. Faustina's diary?

I'm a bit surprised that a Latin source would say such a thing.

This is a quote from her diary.

No, I am only stating that the Eastern Orthodox Church does not teach that God's mercy is subject to justice, but that God's mercy is God's justice.

I haven't read her diary, but I do question the authenticity of words ascribed to Christ which imply that God is bound by necessity. The mere fact that she is a saint of the Roman Church doesn't mean she isn't wrong here, NYer.

"I'm a bit surprised that a Latin source would say such a thing.

I don't doubt that its a quote from her diary (the Latin source), NYer. I do doubt the words are from Christ.
