The Image of the Divine Mercy
The image of the Divine Mercy originates from the private vision that Sr. Faustina had in the cell of the Płock convent on February 22 1931. In the evening when I was in my cell, I saw the Lord Jesus clothed in a white garment. One hand was raised in the gesture of blessing, the other was touching the garment at the breast. From beneath the garment, slightly drawn aside at the breast, there were emanating two large rays, one red, the other pale (...) After a while, Jesus said to me: Paint an image according to the pattern you see, with the signature: "Jesus, I trust in You" (Diary 47). The image represents the crucified and risen Christ who brings man peace and salvation through remittance of sins and all the graces and gifts at the price of His passion. What is characteristic of the image are two rays: a red and a pale one. When asked about their meaning Jesus explained: The two rays denote Blood and Water. The pale ray stands for the Water which makes souls rightous. The red ray stands for the Blood which is the life of souls (Diary 299). Thus, the two rays denote above all the holy sacraments. Happy is the one who will dwell in their shelter, for the just hand of God shall not lay hold of him - said the Lord Jesus (Diary 299). Man's response to the above gifts of mercy is to be the attitude of trust. Hence in the inscription underneath the image, one is able to read the words: Jesus I Trust in You. The first image of Merciful Jesus had been painted by Eugeniusz Kazimirowski in Vilno in the year 1934. It was executed under the direct supervision of Sr. Faustina. The image had first been exposed to the faithful for public veneration in the Shrine of Our Lady of Mercy in Ostra Brama on the first Sunday after Easter on 26-28 April 1935. Today this image is being venerated in the church of the Holy Spirit in Vilno. Yet, it was the image of Merciful Jesus painted by Adolf Hyła which the artist presented to the convent chapel in Cracow-Łagiewniki as a votive offering for the miraculous saving of his family from the war, that has become famous throughout the world. In this way, the words spoken by the Lord Jesus to Sr. Faustina during the first vision Sr. Faustina had in Płock, had become reality: I desire that this image be venerated, first in your chapel, and then throughout the world (Diary 47).
