Saint Maria Faustina Kowalska, was a young Polish nun from a poor but large family. At the age of fifteen, after only three years of school, she began working to help support her family. It was around this time, that Sister Faustina first felt called to religious life. She applied to various convents but she was turned down each time. The Congregation of the Sisters of Our Lady of Mercy finally accepted her and she was initiated as a nun on April 30, 1926.

On February 22, 1931, Sister Faustina had a vision of Christ.

"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 of 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.'"

Through her visions, Sister Faustina discovered her mission.

"Secretary of My most profound mystery," the Lord Jesus said to Sr. Faustina, "know that 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." (Diary 1693)

The message of the Divine Mercy is a message of God's boundless love and mercy. It is a message of reassurance and a reminder to trust in God. The Divine Mercy also reminds us to show our love for God by being merciful to one another.
