[NYer]

The image of Jesus depicted here was painted by Eugene Kazimirowski in Vilnius (presently Lithuania) in 1934 under the direction of St. Faustina Kowalska.

Thanks NYer! I have a small Divine Mercy Image in front of my computer screen here at work. It was given to me by a friend of mine.

Jesus, may I put my trust in Thee!

[Nihil Obstat]

The image at my desk too. I didn't realize that the appearance happened on the Feast of the Chair of Saint Peter. Wonder if there was a significance to that.

Wow - I had no idea. I've been re-reading the Diary with my wife every evening for the last two weeks.

Jesus spent the next seven years speaking to her about His mercy and asked her to record His words in a diary, which she named “Divine Mercy in My Soul”.

I see every religion has its Joseph Smiths.

[Clemenza]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it heresy to believe that Jesus makes appearances? Didn't he say that he wouldn't return until the second coming?

Sounds like Faustina had a little too much vino that night.

Oh how terrible is that day! Determined is the day of justice, the day of divine wrath.

Dies irae, dies illa
solvet saeclum in favilla,
teste David cum Sibylla.

Quantus tremor est futurus,
Quando iudex est venturus
Cuncta stricte discussurus!

Tuba mirum spargens sonum
Per sepulcra regionum,
Coget omnes ante thronum.

Mors stupebit et natura,
Cum resurget creatura
Iudicanti responsura.

Liber scriptus proferetur,
In quo totum continetur
Unde mundus iudicetur.

Iudex ergo cum sedebit,
Quiqquid latet apparebit:
Nil inultum remanebit.

[Day of wrath, day that
will dissolve the world into burning coals,
as David bore witness with the Sibyll.

How great a tremor is to be,
when the judge is to come
briskly shattering every (grave).

A trumpet sounding an astonishing sound
through the tombs of the region
drives all (men) before the throne.

Death will be stunned and (so) will Nature,
when arises (man) the creature
responding to the One judging.

The written book will be brought forth,
in which the whole (record of evidence) is contained
whence the world is to be judged.

Therefore when the Judge shall sit,
whatever lay hidden will appear;
nothing unavenged will remain.]

[Coleus]

When they say this chaplet in the presence of the dying, I will stand between My Father and the dying person, not as the just Judge but as the Merciful Savior (Diary, 1541).
