Sister Faustina and the Devine Mercy

Paper Summary:

This paper takes a look at Sister Mary Faustina. According to the paper, Sister Faustina was born, Helena Kowalski, a polish child whose parents would not permit her to enter the convent. The paper discusses how after a vision of the Suffering Christ, Sister Faustina finally joined the convent. The paper goes on to discuss her life.

From the Paper:

"One particular confessor helped the confused Sister a lot, for it was he who pointed out the fact that since Jesus Christ is our master, communing with Him is "neither daydreaming nor hysteria nor illusion. Know that you are on the right path." (John Paul II and the Feast of Divine Mercy) When, three weeks after her vision in which she received the image of Divine Mercy from Christ, Sister Faustina met Father Michael Sopocko, and she felt as if she had already met him, for she had seen him in another vision, in which Jesus Christ had promised that she would have a new benefactor, she knew that she was not relay imagining everything. Father Michael was a man, who was highly educated in moral theology and other similar subjects, and even though he did not believe at the outset the extent of his subject's communion with Jesus Christ, he was to prove her benefactor in later years, and also a constant source of encouragement for the discouraged and de-motivated Sister Faustina."
