The image of the Divine Mercy came about as a vision that appeared on February 22, 1931 to Blessed Sister Maria Faustina.  It is believed that during this vision, Jesus expressed the desire that an image of him be painted representing the Risen Christ.  Beneath the image, the words, “Jesus I trust in You” appear, confirming trust in the mercy of Christ.  The image bears the marks of the crucifixion on the hands and feet of Christ and displays two rays that originate from the pierced heart of Jesus.

One of the rays emanating from the heart of Jesus is red.  This red ray represents blood or the life of souls.  The other ray is pale which represents the Water that enables souls to be righteous.  These two rays also stand for the birth of the Holy Church and the gifts of the Holy Spirit.  In addition, the sacraments are represented by the red and the pale rays.  The image of the Divine Mercy clearly portrays the great mercy of God.

The Divine Mercy devotion stands for two important dispositions, that of trust and that of mercy.  He Divine Mercy is worshipped with complete trust and this enables one with trust to receive the mercy of God.  The disposition of Mercy expresses that we should show mercy to all others and that these acts of mercy express our love of God.  The purposes of The Divine Mercy devotion promote worldwide mercy toward others.
