Deepertruth: Stand In The Gap With Us And Saint Maria Faustina Kowalska

Stand In The Gap With Us And Saint Maria Faustina Kowalska 10/5/2023

Saint Faustina’s name is forever linked to the annual feast of the Divine Mercy, the Divine Mercy chaplet, and the Divine Mercy prayer recited each day at 3 p.m. by many people.

Our Lady told Saint Faustina: I desire, My dearly beloved daughter, that you practce the three virtues that are dearest to Me--and most pleasing to God. The first is humility, humility, and once again humility; the second virtue, purity; the third virtue, love of God.

In 1981, at the tomb of Sr. Maria Faustina Kowalska in Poland, Maureen Digan experienced a healing from incurable Milroy's disease. Her healing was deemed a miracle through the intercession of Sr. Faustina, which led to Faustina's beatification in 1993.

In His revelations to St. Faustina, Our Lord asked for a special prayer and meditation on His Passion each afternoon at the three o'clock hour, the hour that recalls His death on the cross.

The genesis of the painting was a vision Faustina experienced in 1931 while living in a convent in Plock, Poland. Jesus appeared to her in her cell wearing a white garment, she writes in her diary: “One hand [was] raised in the gesture of blessing, the other was touching the garment at the breast.

JESUS himself revealed the Chaplet of the DIVINE MERCY to Sr Faustina and asked her to pray the Chaplet unceasingly. JESUS told her: Say unceasingly the chaplet that I have taught you. Whoever will recite it will receive great mercy at the hour of death.

Yes, it is true that Jesus promised that the chaplet is a special spiritual remedy for souls at the hour of their death: [Jesus said to her] At the hour of their death, I defend as My own glory every soul that will say this Chaplet; or when others say it for the dying person, the indulgence [pardon] is the same.
