Shortly before the outbreak of World War II, a simple uneducated young Polish nun receives a special call. Jesus appears to her and tells her “I am sending you with My mercy to the people of the whole world. I do not want to punish mankind, but I desire to heal it, pressing it to My merciful Heart”. Jesus also tells her to record His message of mercy in a diary “You are the secretary of My Mercy”.
She died in obscurity in 1938, but is now hailed by Pope John Paul II as “the great apostle of Divine Mercy in our time”. She was canonised on April 30th 2000. The Pope said “the message of Divine Mercy that she shared is urgently needed at the dawn of the new millennium." |
Devotion to the Divine Mercy involves a total commitment to God as Mercy. It is a decision to trust completely in him, to accept his mercy with thanksgiving, and to be merciful as he is merciful. The
devotional practices proposed in the diary of Saint Faustina and set forth in here are completely in accordance with the teachings of the Church and are firmly rooted in the Gospel message of our Merciful Saviour. Properly understood and implemented, they will help us grow as genuine followers of Christ.
