Transformed by this experience, Sister Faustina received a vision of Jesus in which she was instructed to produce the Image of the Divine Mercy. Encouraged by her spiritual director, she began to compile a diary of her mystical experiences and thoughts. Sister Faustina died of tuberculosis in 1938. Divine mercy revealed Saint Faustina Kowalska lived a spirituality that was founded upon a love for the Eucharist and strengthened by trust in the mercy of God. Jesus gave her the Chaplet of Divine Mercy with the instruction that she share this prayer with the whole world. Faustina reminds us that God’s mercy finds its completion in the sacrament of penance, which brings the healing that broken souls require. Deep devotion to Mary also inspired Faustina to a life of humility, purity and love for God. Praying with Saint Faustina will lead you to the joy and comfort that can only be found when you trust in God, seek His mercy and reflect that mercy in your life.

When Helen Kowalska (1905-1938) entered the Congregation of the Sisters of Our Lady of Mercy as Sister Faustina, she also entered a spiritual dark night. That night ended when, transformed by this experience, she recognized Gods love for her in the sufferings of Jesus; instructed by him in a vision, she produced the Image of the Divine Mercy. These selections, taken from the diary that her spiritual director encouraged her to keep, relate her mystical experiences and convey the spirituality she drew from love for the Eucharist and reinforced through trust in the mercy of God.Praying with Saint Faustina will lead to the joy and comfort found only by trusting in God, seeking his mercy, and reflecting that mercy in life.
