St. John Paul II firmly believed in the power of the Divine Mercy image and message. He did all he could during his entire priestly ministry to spread this message far and wide.
During the canonization Mass of St. Faustina, St. John Paul II pointed to the power of this message to lift-up the hearts of those suffering through an intense trial.
With this in mind, St. John Paul II believed that knowing you are loved by God and precious in his eyes can help lift the burden you may be feeling.
This message, prayer and image of God is a beautiful one. It reminds us to place our trust in God in the midst of our suffering and to know that he is here and his "gentle face" is near to us.
God wants to be with us, in our agony.
Whenever we feel the dark clouds of despair, turn to the Divine Mercy image and pray, "Jesus, I trust in you!"
