Frequently
Asked Questions About Divine Mercy
Q.
What was the name of the saint who helped spread the Divine Mercy
message?
A.
 Born
as Helena Kowalska, she was given the name
Sister
Maria Faustina when she received her habit
as a member of the Congregation of the Sisters of Our Lady of Mercy. She
was allowed to add
"of the Most Blessed Sacrament" to her name to make "Sister
Maria Faustina of the Most Blessed Sacrament".
Q.
What exactly is Divine Mercy?
|
From
the Association of Marian Helpers |
A.
Divine
Mercy is Jesus' message to us that His Love and Forgiveness is greater
than our sins. All He asks is that we trust in Him, ask for and accept His
Mercy, and then let Mercy work through us to help others. He also wants us
to be merciful, loving, compassionate, and forgiving to others.
|
Like
the gospel command, "Be merciful, just as your Father
is merciful," this demand that we show mercy to our
neighbors "always and everywhere" seems impossible to
fulfill. But the Lord assures us that it is possible. "When a
soul approaches Me with trust," He explains, "I fill it
with such
an abundance of graces that it cannot contain them within
itself, but radiates them to other souls" (St. Faustina's
Diary, 1074). |
Q.
How did Saint Faustina learn about the Divine Mercy?
A.
On
February 22, 1931, Jesus appeared to Saint Faustina for the first time.
For four years she recorded Jesus' words, her visions, and her own
thoughts and prayers in a personal diary. She writes:
"In
the evening, when I was in my cell, I became aware of the Lord Jesus
clothed in a white garment. One hand was raised in blessing, the other was
touching the garment at the breast. From the opening of the garment at the
breast there came forth two large rays, one red and the other pale. In
silence I gazed intently at the Lord; my soul was overwhelmed with fear,
but also with great joy. After a while Jesus said to me, 'paint an image
according to the pattern you see, with the inscription: Jesus, I
trust in You.
"The pale ray stands for the Water which makes souls righteous;
the red ray stands for the Blood which is the life of souls. These two
rays issued forth from the depths of My most tender Mercy at that time
when My agonizing Heart was opened by a lance on the Cross....Fortunate is
the one who will dwell in their shelter, for the just hand of God shall
not lay hold of him."
In
visions that followed, Jesus asked Saint Faustina to be His instrument for
spreading the message of His Mercy to all the world.
Q.
What is the Divine Mercy Chaplet?
A.
The
words of the Divine Mercy Chaplet were given to Saint Faustina after
seeing visions of Jesus' crucifixion and of God's blessing the earth
because of His sacrifice.

The Chaplet of Divine Mercy
(For recitation on a chaplet or ordinary rosary beads)

with the Sign of the Cross. Continue by saying one Our Father, one Hail Mary,
and the The Apostles Creed.
Then on the OUR FATHER BEAD you will say the following words: Eternal Father, I offer You the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Your
dearly beloved Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, in atonement for our sins and those
of the whole world.
On the
10 HAIL MARY BEADS you will say the following words: For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole
world. Continue
in this pattern four more times as you go around the chaplet or
rosary. In conclusion THREE TIMES you will recite these words:
Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us and on the
whole world.
End
with the Sign of the Cross.

"Say
unceasingly this chaplet that I have taught you. Anyone who says it will receive
great Mercy at the hour of death. Priests will recommend it to sinners as the
last hope. Even the most hardened sinner, if he recites this Chaplet even once,
will receive grace from My Infinite Mercy. I want the whole world to know My
Infinite Mercy. I want to give unimaginable graces to those who trust in My
Mercy...." Sept 13, 1935
