The author of the article refers to the notion of the Divine Mercy as understood by sister Faustina Kowalska. Due to the fact that there is a problem with defining the term of the Divine Mercy, at the beginning of the article the author attempts to interpret the message to priests included in the “Diary” by saint Faustina. Then he presents his own experience with his priestly service to patients in the Central Clinical Hospital of the Medical University in Warsaw. The third part of the article is a theological analysis of the term “Divine Mercy” in the “Diary” by saint Faustina.

The Gospel of John says: “No one has ever seen God, but the one and only Son, who is him-self God and is in closest relationship with the Father, has made him known” (J 1, 18). In the scene where Philip asks Jesus: “Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us”. Jesus answers: “Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father” (J 14, 8–9). The subject of this article Merciful face of God in the sign of the picture “Jesus, I trust in you” refers to those words “Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father”. Looking at the image of the merciful Christ we have unusual experience. Faustina says that it represents the Incarnated Word of God, which took a human body with its limitations. The picture which was painted according to Jesus’ directions has its “limitations”. But still it is the icon of God who is rich in mercy

The author expresses his deep conviction that the “Diary” by saint Faustina Kowalska was a sui generis inspiration for John Paul II when he tackled the subject of the Divine Mercy in his encyclical letter “Dives in misericordia”. In this article the author attempts to move backwards and find in “Diary” the context for papal statements.
