THE MESSAGE OF DIVINE MERCY

The Lord Jesus gave Saint Faustina, a Polish nun from the Congregation of Our Lady of Mercy having an immense trust in God, an enormous mission – the Message of Mercy addressed to the whole worl

“You are the secretary of My mercy. I have chosen you
for that office in this life and the next life” (Diary, 1605).

“Your task is to write down everything that I make known
to you about My mercy, for the benefit of those who by reading these things will be comforted in their souls and will have the courage to approach Me

The essence of the devotion to the Divine Mercy is the attitude of trust toward God, a desire to fulfil his will, and practising works of mercy toward our neighbours, untrusting them to God’s boundless love and mercy.

THE IMAGE OF MERCIFUL JESUS

“Paint an image according to the pattern you see, with the signature: Jesus, I trust in You. I desire that this image be venerated, first in your chapel, and then throughout the whole world. I promise that the soul that venerates this image will not perish. I also promise victory over its enemies already here on Earth, especially at the hour of death. (…) I want this image, which you will paint with a brush, to be solemnly blessed on the first Sunday after Easter; that Sunday is to be the Feast of Mercy. I desire that priests proclaim this great mercy of Mine towards the souls of sinners” (Diary, 47-49).
