St. Faustina and 7 Secrets of Divine Mercy



October 5 is the feast day of St. Faustina, the Polish religious sister who Jesus appeared to with the message of Divine Mercy. These private revelations were made over a number of years in the 1920s and 30s and are recorded in the Diary of Sister Faustina. The revelations are approved by the Church. They are powerful words by Jesus of His great and merciful love of the human race and His desire to offer each and every soul the means to save their souls. St. Faustina was the Lord's messenger of the Divine Mercy message. She is called the Apostle of Divine Mercy.

Vinny Flynn is the author of the 7 Secrets of Divine Mercy. Flynn is a writer, teacher, and musician who has given many talks and written numerous books as he traveled throughout the U.S. and Ireland sharing the message of Divine Mercy.  His book, 7 Secrets of Divine Mercy, is a reflection on the divine mercy message which draws on Flynn's many years of teaching and sharing the message with others. I have written a review of this book which you can find here, https://www.hprweb.com/2018/06/early-summer-book-reviews/

The message given to St. Faustina is one which Our Lord said would bring the world peace when we learn to trust in His Divine Mercy. St. Faustina was given to us as a messenger and now as an intercessor. Let us pray to her that we may trust in the Divine Mercy of Jesus and bring our sad and chaotic world the peace it needs. "Jesus I trust in you."
