Divine Mercy Traveling Picture

TRAVELING DIVINE MERCY PICTURE
More than ninety years ago, Jesus appeared to St. Faustina in her convent cell in Ptlock, Poland, and directed her to
 

“paint an image according to the pattern you see”, with the signature ‘Jesus, I trust in you’.

He attached many promises to those who venerate this image:
“I promise that the soul that will venerate this image will not perish.  I also promise victory over enemies already here on earth, especially at the hour of death. I myself will defend it as my own glory.”
 (Diary of St. Faustina, 47-48). 

This rendition of our perfect and radiant savior will be available to travel to /  visit a parishioner’s home for private veneration for a week. 
 
Please call Louise Gregor to schedule a week to host the
Traveling Divine Mercy Picture. 610-948-0398 or lgreger7@gmail.com.
Information, including prayer and journal books, and the picture with stand, will be available in the Little Flower Adoration Chapel.  Pickup will be Sunday at any time. Please return it to the Chapel on Saturday by 4:00 PM.
 
 

Mankind’s need for the message of Divine Mercy took on dire urgency in the twentieth century, when civilization began to experience an “eclipse of the sense of God,” and therefore, to lose the understanding of the sanctity and inherent dignity of human life. In 1931, Jesus appeared to Sr. Faustina in Poland and expressed his desire for a feast celebrating his mercy. The Feast of Mercy was to be on the Sunday after Easter and was to include a public blessing and liturgical veneration of His image with the inscription
 

“Jesus, I trust in You.”

This promise of mercy has been affirmed by the Church, which has made Divine Mercy Sunday an occasion for receiving a plenary indulgence, “the remission before God of the temporal punishment due to sin whose guilt has already been forgiven” (CCC, no. 1471). The plenary indulgence is granted to the faithful under the usual conditions (Confession, Eucharist, prayer for the intentions of the pope, and complete detachment from sin, even venial sin). The faithful may either take part in the prayers and devotions held in honor of Divine Mercy in any church or chapel or recite the Our Father and Creed in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament exposed or reserved in the tabernacle, adding a devout prayer to the merciful Lord Jesus.

There are many aspects of the Divine Mercy devotion, including the Chaplet, the Divine Mercy image, and the “hour of great mercy” (3:00 p.m.). The popularity of these devotions, focused on the Lord’s infinite mercy, has grown rapidly in recent decades. Regarding the Chaplet of Divine Mercy, St. Faustina wrote that 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 a dying person “ (Divine Mercy in My Soul, no. 811).
