Divine Mercy Praises Group
In the 1930’s, St. Faustina received from the Lord a message of mercy that she was told to spread throughout the world. She asked to become the apostle and secretary of God’s mercy, a model of how to be merciful to others, and an instrument for reemphasizing God’s plan of mercy for the world. Through her He calls us all to ask for His mercy: “Souls that make an appeal to My compassion.” “..Beg for mercy for the whole world.” “No soul that has called upon My mercy has ever been disappointed.”
