The Divine Mercy Rosary: A Symbol of God’s Unending Love and Forgiveness
The Divine Mercy Rosary is a powerful devotion initiated by Saint Faustina Kowalska, a Polish nun who received visions from Jesus Himself. The rosary is centered around the Divine Mercy image, which depicts Jesus raising His right hand in blessing and pointing to His chest, from which flow two rays of light.
The Promise of Divine Mercy
According to Saint Faustina’s diary, Jesus promised that “the soul that will venerate this image will not perish.” (Diary of Faustina, 48) He also promised victory over enemies and defense at the hour of death. This promise is a testament to God’s infinite love and mercy for humanity.
Symbolism of the Divine Mercy Image
The Divine Mercy image is rich in symbolism. The two rays of light flowing from Jesus’ chest represent the blood and water that flowed from His side during the Crucifixion. The red ray symbolizes the blood of Jesus, which is the life of souls, while the white ray represents the water that justifies souls. (Diary of Faustina, 299)
