Divine Mercy Image

The Authentic image of Merciful Jesus was painted in 1934 by Eugeniusz Kazimirowski, under the attentive supervision of Sister Faustina, alongwith the assistance (and paid for by) Father Michael Sopocko. Jesus told St. Faustina:

+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 world+ (Diary, 47)

‍+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+ (Diary, 48)

‍+By means of this Image I shall be granting many graces to souls; so let every soul have access to it+ (Diary, 570)

Divine Mercy Chaplet

In September of 1935 – Jesus gave this prayer to Sister Faustina and, thus, the world. Our Lord told Saint Faustina:

‍+Say unceasingly the chaplet that I have taught you.Whoever will recite it will receive great mercy at the hour of death. Priests will recommend it to sinners as their last hope of salvation+ (Diary,687)

‍+At the hour of their death, I defend as my own gloryevery soul that will say this chaplet; or when others say it for a dying person, the pardon is the same+ (Diary, 811)

Hour of Great Mercy

At the hour our Lord died on Calvary, we all should take time to reflect on this great sacrifice. Jesus tells Saint Faustina:

‍+As often as you hear the clock strike the third hour, immerse yourself in My mercy, adoring and glorifying it… for at that moment mercy was opened wide for every soul. Try your best to make the Stations of the Cross in this hour+ (Diary,1572)

‍+At three o’clock, implore My mercy, especially for sinners; and, if only for a brief moment, immerse yourself in My Passion, particularly in My abandonment at the moment of agony. This is the hour of great mercy for the whole world+ (Diary, 1320)

Feast of Divine Mercy

The highest of the five elements of Divine Mercy is the Feast of Divine Mercy:

+My daughter, tell the whole world about My inconceivable mercy. I desire that the Feast of Mercy be a refuge and shelter for all souls, and especially for poor sinners+

+The soul that will go to Confession and receive Holy Communion shall obtain complete forgiveness of sins and punishment. It is My desire that it be solemnly celebrated on the first Sunday after Easter. Mankind will not have peace until it turns to the Fount of My Mercy+ (Diary, 699)

Spreading Mercy

Jesus's call to spread mercy is a central tenet of Christian teachings. In the context of the Divine Mercy revelations to St. Maria Faustina Kowalska, this call was profoundly emphasized. Jesus conveyed to St. Faustina the depth of His mercy and the urgency to proclaim it to the world. Jesus says:

‍+Souls who spread the honor of My mercy I shield through their entire lives as a tender mother her infant+ (Diary, 1075)

‍+All those souls who will glorify My mercy and spread its worship, encouraging others to trust in My mercy, will not experience terror at the hour of death. My mercy will shield them in that final battle+ (Diary, 1540)

Messengers of Mercy

Kazimirowski
Eugeniusz Marcin Kazimirowski (1873 - 1939) was a Polish painter and member of the Realist movement. He is best known for the first depiction of the Divine Mercy image in 1934, based on a request from Saint Faustina Kowalska and her confessor Father Michael Sopoćko
Faustina
Sister Faustina was a young, uneducated nun in a convent of the Congregation of Sisters of Our Lady of Mercy in Poland during the 1930s. She came from a poor family that struggled during the years of World War I. She had only three years of simple education, so hers were the humblest tasks in the convent, usually in the kitchen or garden.
Sopocko
Blessed Michael Sopoćko was a Polish priest and confessor to St. Maria Faustina Kowalska. Instrumental in the Divine Mercy devotion, he supported St. Faustina's mission and was pivotal in commissioning the original Divine Mercy image, as per the instructions received in her visions. His dedication ensured that the messages of Divine Mercy reached a broader audience, becoming a global devotion.
