God’s mercy is reflected in the cross of Christ, a direct reflection of His love for us. Mercy fuels compassion, kindness, forgiveness and empathy. Mercy chooses not to be offended. Mercy is an extension of love and mercy is a characteristic of the One True God. God’s plan stems from His merciful love for His people. Defeating death, Jesus opened up access to God for us. Through prayer, God’s Word and the Holy Spirit living in us, each day brings mercy. God is faithful even though every day we fall short. Mercy is God’s gift to the repentant heart. In 1931, Jesus appeared to St. Faustina in a vision. She saw Jesus clothed in a white garment with His right hand raised in blessing. His left hand was touching His garment in the area of the Heart, from where two large rays came forth, one red and the other pale. She gazed intently at the Lord in silence, her soul filled with awe, but also with great joy. Jesus said to her to paint an image according to the pattern she sees, with the signature: “Jesus, I trust in You”. It is said that the soul that will venerate this image will not perish. In the Divine Mercy image, the two rays denote Blood and Water. The pale ray stands for the Water which makes souls righteous. The red ray stands for the Blood which is the life of souls. The whole image is a symbol of charity, forgiveness and love of God, referred to as the "Fountain of Mercy". St Faustina was a Polish nun who joined the convent of Our Lady of Mercy in Warsaw in 1925. In her diary, which was later published as the book ‘Diary: Divine Mercy in My Soul’, Faustina wrote about a number of visions of Jesus and conversations with him. Faustina stated that whilst she was in her cell on the night of Sunday, 22 February 1931, Jesus appeared to her as the "King of Divine Mercy", robed in a white garment. What we do in response to God’s mercy sends an important message to the people in our lives. When God shows his mercy, he does so with utter strength and goodness. The benefits of God’s mercy include peace, love, and joy. In
Christ, mercy and truth meet together. Christ-centred people see the world through His perspective, and His love flows through their lives. When we are merciful to others, it brings joy to all. When we submit to His merciful ways, we choose to acknowledge peace.
