Saint Maria Faustina Kowalska died at age 33 on October 5, 1938. She is known as "The Great Apostle of Divine Mercy" for her mission in encouraging devotion to God's greatest attribute: His Mercy.
Her diary is a masterwork of faith, suffering and love all for Jesus and His Most Sacred Heart. His revelations to her resonate with everyone who reads the diary.
One of the most powerful tools Jesus gave Saint Faustina was the Chaplet of the Divine Mercy, which is especially important for the ill and dying. It can be said at any time, but Our Lord requested it be said at 3 p.m., the hour of His most holy death.
The Polish nun was declared a saint on Divine Mercy Sunday in 2000 by Pope John Paul II.
This prayer is from the National Shrine of The Divine Mercy.
Prayer to Obtain Graces Through the Intercession of Saint Faustina
O Jesus, who filled Saint Faustina with profound veneration for Your boundless Mercy, deign, if it be Your holy will, to grant me, through her intercession, the grace for which I fervently pray…
My sins render me unworthy of Your Mercy, but be mindful of Saint Faustina's spirit of sacrifice and self-denial, and reward her virtue by granting the petition which, with childlike trust, I present to You through her intercession.
Our Father…, Hail Mary…, Glory Be…
Saint Faustina, pray for us.
