THE IMAGE OF MERCIFUL JESUS

The Lord Jesus expressed His desire to have an image painted according the vision experienced by Saint Faustina on February 22, 1931 in her convent cell in Plock, Poland.

"Paint an image according to the pattern you see, with the signature:Jesus, I trust in You. I desire that this image be venerated, first in your chapel, and then throughout the world. I promise that the soul that will venerate this image will not perish. I also promise victory over its enemies already here on earth, especially at the hour of death. I Myself will defend it as My own glory.

This is the precious original Image
of Divine Mercy, now kept in the
International Shrine of Divine Mercy
in Vilnius, Lithuania where it was painted

"By means of this Image, I shall be granting
many graces, so let every soul have access to it"
(Diary 570)

 

(...) I desire that there be a Feast of Mercy. I want this image, which you will paint with a brush, to be solemnly blessed on the first Sunday after Easter; That Sunday is to be the Feast of Mercy. I desire that priests proclaim this great mercy of Mine towards souls of sinners"

(Diary, 47-49).
