The
Message of Divine Mercy
Jesus appeared to Polish Sister, Maria Faustina Kowalska on February 22, 1931 and delivered a wonderful message of Mercy for all mankind. Saint Faustina Kowalska belonged to the Congregation of the Sisters of Our Lady of Mercy.
Sister Faustina wrote in her diary : "In the evening, when I was in my cell, I became aware of the Lord Jesus clothed in a white garment.
One hand was raised in blessing, the other was touching the garment at the breast. From the opening in the garment at the breast there came forth two large rays, one red, and the other pale.
In silence I gazed intently at the Lord; my soul was overwhelmed with fear, but also with great joy.
After a while Jesus said to me: 'paint an image according to the pattern you see, with the inscription: Jesus, I trust in You.
I desire that this image be venerated, first in your chapel, and [then] throughout the world.
I promise that the soul that will venerate this image will not perish. I also promise victory over [its] enemies already here on earth, especially at the hour of death. I Myself will defend it as My own glory"
