St. Faustina - Divine Mercy In My Soul

St. Faustina the visionary

Nun, peasant, mystic, saint.

Maria Faustina Kowalska, commonly known at St. Faustina, was a member of the Congregation of Sisters of Our Lady of Mercy in Poland during the 1920’s and 1930’s. In her 600-page diary, she detailed visions she had of Jesus, who’s message in His revelations to St. Faustina was that of great mercy - that He is mercy itself. The revelations to Faustina therefore became known as “The Message of Divine Mercy.”

Pope John Paul the Great beatified St. Faustina in 1993, and canonized her in 2000. Divine Mercy Sunday is now celebrated the Second Sunday of Easter (which is the first Sunday after Easter), as established by Pope John Paul II.

American Federation Pueri Cantores members will have the great opportunity to visit the Shrine of the Divine Mercy, where St. Faustina is buried, while on journey to Krakow for the 34th International Congress of Pueri Cantores, and while walking in the Footsteps of John Paul the Great.
