Jesus I Trust in You
Original painting on the LEFT painted under the direction of Saint Faustina--the right image is the painting recently restored |
St. Faustina's Prayer for the Image
"O Eternal Love, You command
Your Sacred Image to be painted
And reveal to us
the inconceivable fount of Mercy,
You bless whoever approaches Your rays,
And a soul all black will turn into snow.
O sweet Jesus, it is here
You established the throne of Your Mercy
To bring joy and hope to sinful man.
From your open Heart as from a pure fount,
Flows comfort to a repentant heart and soul.
May praise and glory for this Image
Never cease to stream from man's soul.
May praise for God's Mercy
pour from every heart,
Now, and at every hour, and forever and ever."
Diary of Saint Maria Faustina Kowalska,
Notebook One, number one
In the mid 1990's it was discovered, by
accident, that the face on the original Image of Divine Mercy perfectly matched
the one on the Holy Shroud of Turin.
A Promise was made by Christ
Before St. Faustina was told by her spiritual director to
keep a diary of her spiritual experiences, she used to record the experiences on pieces of paper and give them to
him. On one of those papers was found a promise made by Jesus...
"I will save those cities and houses
in which this Image
will be found."
He also said:
"I will likewise protect the persons who will honor and trust in My
Mercy."
To understand the true depth of what this Image is all about,
you may order the "Oceans of Mercy
Retreat" DVD, produced here at Mercy Films, Inc., in
association with the John Paul II Institute of Divine Mercy. On
the DVD there is an 80-minute conference on the Image given by
Father Seraphim Michalenko, MIC, former vice-postulator for the
cause of St. Faustina. (All together there are over 5 hours of
in-depth conferences on every major aspect of this message given
to St. Faustina). Please take advantage of this information and
learn all you can about what this message really means.
