Shortly before the outbreak of World War II, a simple, uneducated, young Polish nun receives a special call. Jesus tells her, "I am sending you with My mercy to the people of the whole world. I do not want to punish mankind, but I desire to heal it, pressing it to My merciful Heart." Jesus also tells her to record His message of mercy in a diary: "You are the secretary of My Mercy. I have chosen you for that office in this and the next life."

These words of Jesus are found in the Diary of St. Maria Faustina Kowalska, which chronicles Sr. Faustina's great experience of Divine Mercy in her soul and her mission to share that mercy with the world.

The diary is very good. 5.00 out of 5

By:	Joe the faithful one. (Clinton Twp, MIchigan, March 25, 2011) Verified Buyer
Pros:	Good insight on the saint;
Cons:	none;
Best Uses:	Helps your faith;
Bottom Line:	Yes, I would recommend this to a friend. I read only a few pages each night in order for the book to last longer. At the end of the diary I know she dies but I want her to live longer. It's amasing that she can converse with Jesus and that He instructed her write everything down so the diary will help those who read it to live a better life.
