Welcome to the Faustina.org website. We are a group of layman working within the Catholic Church dedicated to helping spread the message and devotion to The Divine Mercy as given by Our Lord Jesus Christ to Saint Maria Faustina Kowalska. We are doing this through this website, our upcoming film, "Faustina", produced by Mercy Films, Inc. in association with the Marian Fathers of the Immaculate Conception, and through spreading the Image of The Divine Mercy. In
the early 1900s, Our Lord gave many great mystical graces to Sister
Faustina of the Sisters of Our Lady of Mercy in Poland. He also gave
her a mission - to tell the world that He is Mercy itself, and that
before He returns as a just Judge, He is coming as a merciful Savior.
Jesus called Faustina His Secretary of Divine Mercy, and
commanded her to write everything He told her. In obedience, Faustina
kept a diary, now called "Divine Mercy in My Soul", and published
by the Marians Fathers
of the Immaculate Conception of Stockbridge, Massachusetts. This
printed diary fills over 600 pages. Over 7 times He told her that this
message would prepare the world for His final coming. Misunderstood and persecuted by many of her fellow nuns, Sister led a hidden life of humility, suffering and prayer. So great was her sanctity, and so intimate her relationship with the Lord, that her diary is heralded by the Church as being numbered among the outstanding works of mystical literature. (Office of Readings). Throughout this website, you will find direct quotes from Our Lord in the yellow backgrounds on the left, and commentaries and the words of St. Faustina on the right. You will also find information about our upcoming film, "Faustina", produced in association with the Marians. We hope you enjoy this website! God bless you!

The restored Image of The Divine Mercy, above. (see our brochure; pdf) "My daughter, I demand that you devote all your free moments to writing about My goodness and mercy. It is your office and your assignment throughout your life to continue to make known to souls the great mercy I have for them and to exhort them to trust in My bottomless mercy." (1567) "In the Old Covenant, I sent prophets wielding thunderbolts to My people. Today I am sending you with My mercy to the people of the whole world. I do not want to punish aching mankind, but I desire to heal it, pressing it to My Merciful Heart. I use punishment when they themselves force Me to do so; My hand is reluctant to take hold of the sword of justice. Before the Day of Justice I am sending the Day of Mercy." (1588) As I was praying for Poland, I heard the words: I bear a special love for Poland, and if she will be obedient to My will, I will exalt her in might and holiness. From her will come forth the spark that will prepare the world for My final coming. (1732) In the evening, when I was praying, the Mother of God told me, "Your lives must be like Mine: quiet and hidden, in unceasing union with God, pleading for humanity and preparing the world for the second coming of God." (625) ... When, on one occasion, instead of interior prayer, I took up a book of spiritual reading, I heard these words spoken distinctly and forcefully within my soul, "You will prepare the world for My final coming." (429)
