 General Description:

Diario de Santa María Faustina Kowalska: La Divina Misericordia en mi alma

Una Mística con un Mensaje para el Nuevo Milenio

Poco antes de la Secunda Guerra Mundial, una joven monja polaca, sencilla y sin instrucción, recibe un llamado muy especial de Jesucristo: "Te envío a todo la humanidad con Mi misericordia; no quiero castigar a la humanidad doliente, sino que deseo sanarla, abrazarla a Mi Coriazón misericordioso."  Jesús también le pide que escriba Su mensaje de  misericordia en un Diario: "Tú eres la secretaria de Mi misericordia.  Te he escogido para este cargo en ésta y en la vida futura."

Sor Faustina, que murió en 1938, fue declarada Santa por el Papa Juan Pablo II el 30 de abril del 2000, quien la ha considerato como la gran Apóstol de La Divina Misericordia en nuestro tiempo, cuyo mensaje es urgentemente necesario para el mundo de hoy. Más de medio millón de copias del Diario se han vendido alrededor del mundo.  En el Diario, que relata la grandiosa experiencia de La Divina Misericordia en su alma y su misión de compartirla con el mundo, la gran confianza de esta Santa mística y su intimidad con Jesús, le sorprenderá y le ayudará a usted en su propia vida.  "Sólo el amor tiene importancia -- escribe ella -- es él el que eleva nuestras más pequeñas acciones hasta la infinidad."

Brief Biography

Often called the "Apostle of Divine Mercy" Sr. Maria Faustina Kowalska was the third of ten children, she attended only three years of school. As a teenager, she worked as a domestic servant for other families. After being rejected by several religious orders, she became a nun in the Congregation of the Sisters of Our Lady of Mercy in Warsaw, Poland on 1 August 1925; the order is devoted to care and education of troubled young women. She changed her name to Sister Maria Faustina of the Most Blessed Sacrament. During her 13 years in various houses, she was a cook, gardener, and porter.

She had a special devotion to Mary Immaculate, to the Blessed Sacrament, and to Reconciliation, which led to a deep mystical interior life. She began to have visions, receive revelations, and experience hidden stigmata. She began recording these mystical experiences in a diary; being nearly illiterate, it was written phonetically, without quotation marks or punctuation, and runs to nearly 700 pages. A bad translation reached Rome in 1958, and was labelled heretical. However, when Karol Wojtyla (Pope John Paul II) became Archbishop of Krakow, he was beseiged by requests for a reconsideration. He ordered a better translation made, and Vatican authorities realized that instead of heresy, the work proclaimed God's love. It was published as "Divine Mercy in my Soul."

In the 1930's, Sister Faustina received a message of mercy from Our Lord that she was told to spread throughout the world, a message of God's mercy to each person individually, and for humanity as a whole. Jesus asked that a picture be painted of him with the inscription: "Jesus, I Trust in You." She was asked to be a model of mercy to others, to live her entire life, in imitation of Christ's, as a sacrifice. She commissioned this painting in 1935, showing a red and a white light shining from Christ's Sacred Heart.

The Apostles of Divine Mercy is a movement of priests, religious, and lay people inspired by Faustina's experiences; they spread knowledge of the mystery of Divine Mercy, and invoke God's mercy on sinners. Approved in 1996 by the Archdiocese of Krakow, it has spread to 29 countries.

The Divine Mercy Devotion is now the second most popular Catholic devotion in the world, surpassed only by the Holy Rosary.
