  • Venerating the Image of Divine Mercy on the Feast of Mercy
    Venerating the Image of Divine Mercy on the Feast of Mercy A look at the writings of Pope Benedict XVI Time has proven the correctness of the prophetic writings that Our Lord asked St. Faustina to record for humanity. The Church has recognized that the readings of Second Sunday of Easter were already perfect for a Feast of Mercy and responded by instituting Divine Mercy Sunday, fulfilling His request. With this in mind, let us look at these requests and promises of the Lord as regards to the Divine Mercy image and compare them to the writings of Pope Benedict XVI. In his book, “The Spirit of the Liturgy”, the Pope dedicated a complete chapter on the Question of Images. This work that was written at the turn of the millennium, is quite prophetic also. In it he takes us through the history of images from the Old Testament to the New and presents to us the reasons why we must use sacred images in our sacred spaces and also for our liturgies. He said that the purpose of the book was to assist the renewal of understanding the liturgy. After reading this monumental work, one is left with the impression of what the most perfect image would be to assist us in the celebration of Mass. If you have previously read about the image of Divine Mercy in the diary of St. Faustina, and the requests of Our Lord to have the image venerated, especially on the Feast of Mercy, you will see the prophetic nature of the Pope’s writing because they perfectly apply to this image and to the request of the Lord.

It is a prayer or Holy Mass that is offered for nine consecutive days. Scripturally, novenas take their origin from the nine days of prayer before Pentecost. After the Ascension, the apostles, and disciples, in obedience to the Lord, gathered in the upper room and devoted themselves to constant prayer, together with Mary, the Mother of Jesus (Acts 1:4-5). The nine days of prayer can also be considered as a representation of the nine months of Jesus in the womb of Mary. Like Jesus our Head, we His Body are also to be born of Mary and the Holy Spirit.

  • St. Faustina, Apostle of Divine Mercy 3
    CHAPTER 1 St. Faustina, Apostle of Divine Mercy How long shall I put up with you and how long will you keep putting Me off? (9) “Faustina, please,” I (Michele) told the cab driver, pointing to a small picture of Jesus hanging from his rearview mirror as my friends and I clambered into the back seat. He nodded. I had traveled to Kraków, Poland, for a weekend trip during my college semester abroad at the Francis- can University of Gaming, Austria. Although I spoke no Polish, the cab driver knew from my request exactly where to take us. He knew I had come to visit the shrine of the great saint Sr. Maria Faustina Kowalska. She was 1 2 D IVINE M ERCY FOR M O M S a young Polish religious sister who in the 1930s expe- rienced extraordinary visions of Jesus and his mother. Although Faustina was not very well known in the United States at the time of my visit to Kraków, she was widely celebrated in Poland. Hanging from the cab’s mirror was a distinctive picture known as the Image of Divine Mercy; it was painted at the direction of St. Faustina to portray Jesus as she had seen him in her visions. Devotion to the Image was already very popular among the Polish people and in recent times has surged in popularity in the United States, where the Image hangs in many Catholic homes and parishes, especially on the Sunday after Easter (Divine Mercy Sunday). As the cab driver headed for the Shrine of The Divine Mercy in Kraków-Łagiewniki, the monastery of the Sisters of Our Lady of Mercy where Faustina had once lived, I tried to soak in as much as I could through the windows.

  • History and Explanation of the Image of Divine Mercy ~ a Basic Instruction ~ by Joan Maroney and Fr
    History and Explanation of The Image of Divine Mercy ~ A Basic Instruction ~ By Joan Maroney and Fr. Seraphim Michalenko, MIC The History of the Image The image of Jesus here depicted was painted in the year 1934 by Eugene Kazimi- rowski in Vilnius (at the time a city in Poland, but presently in Lithuania) as St. Faustina Kowalska was describing to him how Jesus looked in a vision she received in 1931. The im- age was venerated publicly for the first time from April 26-28, 1935 during the closing cele- bration of the 1900th Jubilee of Redemption at the Shrine of Our Lady of Mercy, a chapel in that city called “The Dawn Gate.” In 1937 the Image was hung near the main altar in St. Michael’s Church in Vilnius of which Sister Faustina’s confessor (the now “Blessed” Michael Sopoćko) was the rector, and where it remained until 1948, when the church Vilnius Image of The Divine Mercy was converted into a museum of architecture by Original painting by the Communist government. The image was Eugene Kazimirowski, 1934 then taken to the Holy Spirit Church on Domini- can Street not far from the Cathedral, but then removed and placed in the village church of Nowa Ruda (now in Belarus), where it remained for 40 years. For a while it was hidden in an attic to prevent it from being destroyed by the government. In 1982 the image was again brought to the Holy Spirit Church in Vilnius where in 1986, on account of damage sustained from handling along the years, the painting was retouched by a local artist.
