Divine Mercy

Brief History

The message of The Divine Mercy is simple. It is that God loves us – all of us. And, he wants us to recognize that His mercy is greater than our sins, so that we will call upon Him with trust, receive His mercy, and let it flow through us to others. Thus, all will come to share His joy.

The Divine Mercy image is a depiction of Jesus based on the devotion initiated by Saint Faustina Kowalska. The rays streaming out have symbolic meaning: red for the blood of Jesus (which is the Life of Souls), and pale for the water (which justify souls) (from Diary - 299).

The term chaplet refers to a string of beads or the beads comprising the 5 decades of a rosary. In this manner chaplets have long served to aid Christians in the counting of prayers and the practice of devotions. The Chaplet of Divine Mercy is a popular devotion which was promoted by Saint Maria Faustina Kowolska, a polish nun who lived from 1905-1938.
