St. Faustina Kowalska - Feast Day Oct 5th
Jesus appeared many times to this holy nun in the 1930’s and taught her about his Divine Mercy. He asked her to have a painting made of His image. He told her to write down all her notes in a diary where He closely told her the details of His mercy on souls. Pope John Paul II declared the first Sunday after Easter “Divine Mercy Sunday,” and by saying the chaplet of Divine Mercy and going to Mass on that day, Jesus promised to pour out his Mercy on mankind. We so desperately need the mercy of God in our world today and this Devotion is the answer. Speaking of Sr. Faustina and the importance of the message contained in her Diary, the Pope call her “the great apostle of Divine Mercy in our time.”
Prayer for grace:
O Jesus, You inspired Saint Faustina with profound veneration for Your boundless Mercy. Grant me through her intercession, if it be Your holy will, the grace …for which I fervently pray. My sins render me unworthy of Your Mercy, but be mindful of Saint Faustina’s spirit of sacrifice and self-denial, and reward her virtue by granting the petition which, with childlike confidence, I present to You through her intercession.
Our Father…, Hail Mary…, Glory…
Saint Faustina, pray for us.
