Mercy Minutes with Jesus (from Saint Faustina’s Diary)

March 31 ~ Solemnly Bless This Image

Theme:  The Feast of Mercy

[Saint Faustina had just been directed by Jesus, “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.” (Diary, 47)]

“When I told this to my confessor, I received this for a reply: ‘That refers to your soul.’ He told me, ‘Certainly, paint God’s image in your soul.’ When I came out of the confessional, I again heard words such as these: ‘My image already is in your soul. 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.’” (Mercy Minutes with Jesus/Diary, 49)

My prayer response:

Thank You, Jesus, that Your Image as The Divine Mercy, radiating Your Mercy and blessings upon us, has been painted and is available for our veneration. Thank You that the Feast of Mercy is now available to the whole Church as a special moment of grace. With deep trust in You, may I venerate Your Image not only on the Feast of Mercy, but also each and every day of my life. (Mercy Minutes with Jesus)
