Understanding the Significance
The Divine Mercy Chaplet holds great significance in the Catholic faith. It was revealed to Saint Faustina Kowalska, a Polish nun, by Jesus Himself in the early 20th century. This beautiful prayer is a testament to God's infinite love, mercy, and forgiveness. Through the repetition of specific prayers, we seek God's mercy for ourselves and the whole world.
The Divine Mercy Image
Central to the Divine Mercy Chaplet is the iconic image of Jesus Christ, known as the Divine Mercy Image. This image depicts Jesus with rays of red and white light emanating from His Sacred Heart, symbolizing the blood and water that flowed from His side during His crucifixion. It serves as a reminder of God's overflowing mercy and love for humanity.
