The message and devotion to Jesus as The Divine Mercy is based on the writings of Saint Faustina Kowalska, a Polish nun whom through God’s word wrote a diary of about 644 pages recording the
revelations she received about God’s mercy. Her special call came from Jesus with the following dictum: “I am sending you with My mercy to the people of the whole world. I do not want to punish mankind, but I desire to heal it.” She died in 1938, the devotion to The Divine Mercy had already begun to spread. On April 30, 2000, Pope John Paul II canonized her as St. Faustina. The Chaplet of Divine Mercy is said at 3PM and on Thursday evenings at 6:45 PM. By definition, a Chaplet is a form of prayer which uses prayer beads, but is not related to the Rosary.
