JESUS, I TRUST IN YOUR DIVINE MERCY

On May 5, 2000, St. Pope John Paul II declared that the Sunday after Easter as Divine Mercy Sunday. St. Faustina Kowalska was a Polish nun who received messages and visions from Jesus, including an image of Jesus wearing a white garment with beams of red and white light coming from His heart, signifying blood and water flowing from the heart of Jesus. The blood recalls the sacrifice of the cross, and the Holy Eucharist and the water represents not only Baptism but also the gift of the Holy Spirit. This unique image is known as the Divine Mercy of Jesus.

Jesus also revealed to St. Faustina the Divine Mercy Chaplet and its four promises:

Defense: Jesus, in His mercy, will defend us from evil in the hour of death.

Mercy: Jesus, in His mercy, will be our merciful Savior, not a judge at the hour of death.

Hope: Jesus, in His mercy, will shower us with grace in the hour of death.

Answered Prayers: Jesus, in His mercy, will answer all our prayers if they are compatible with the will of God.

On this Spiritual Workout Wednesday, let’s pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet on at least one of the four days remaining before Divine Mercy Sunday. Reflect Divine Mercy in your life by showing human mercy to others through patience, service, forgiveness, kindness, and compassion. “Be merciful, even as your Father is merciful.” Luke 6:36.
