“Through prayer the soul is armed to face any battle” (Saint Faustina Kowalska, Diaryno. 146). Inspired by those words of the saint, every September 26 we begin the nine days of prayer prior to the celebration of the feast, October 5, dedicated to whom Saint John Paul II called “apostle of Divine Mercy”, Saint Faustina Kowalska (Poland, 1905-1938).
Saint Faustina Kowalska was a Catholic nun and mystic born in Lodz, Poland. She was the seer of the apparitions that inspired devotion to the Jesus of Divine Mercy. “To the souls who spread devotion to my mercy, I protect them during their life like a loving mother to her newborn child and at the hour of death I will not be the judge for them, but the Merciful Savior,” the Lord Jesus told him. to her servant, Faustina. Among the extraordinary graces and particular revelations that the saint received is the dissemination of the prayer of the Chaplet of Divine Mercy (For his painful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world…)”.

Sister Faustina was canonized by Pope Saint John Paul II in 2000. Those who need God’s forgiveness for some serious offense come to her, those who seek God and have some inner obstacle to embracing him; as well as, in general, all those who want to live closer to the Lord.
The saint used to say that “God is Love and Mercy” (Diary281). Let us embrace those words full of confidence and not lose the opportunity to grow in the love of God, for which the world cries out today.
