Transformed by this experience, Sister Faustina received a vision of Jesus in which she was instructed to produce the Image of the Divine Mercy. Encouraged by her spiritual director, she began to compile a diary of her mystical experiences and thoughts. Sister Faustina died of tuberculosis in 1938. Divine mercy revealed Saint Faustina Kowalska lived a spirituality that was founded upon a love for the Eucharist and strengthened by trust in the mercy of God. Jesus gave her the Chaplet of Divine Mercy with the instruction that she share this prayer with the whole world. Faustina reminds us that Gods mercy finds its completion in the sacrament of penance, which brings the healing that broken souls require. Deep devotion to Mary also inspired Faustina to a life of humility, purity and love for God. Praying with Saint Faustina will lead you to the joy and comfort that canonly be found when you trust in God, seek His mercy and reflect that mercy in your life.
