What is the message of the Divine Mercy revealed to Saint Faustina Kowalska?
The message of Divine Mercy, revealed by Jesus to Saint Maria Faustina Kowalska in the 1930s, reminds the modern world that God's mercy is greater than any sin and is readily available to the most hardened sinner. Jesus asked for the Chaplet of Divine Mercy, the veneration of the Divine Mercy Image with the signature 'Jesus, I trust in You', and the celebration of Divine Mercy Sunday on the Second Sunday of Easter. The rays of pale and red light streaming from His heart symbolize the water that justifies and the blood that enlivens souls.
