This article aims to reconstruct individual female biography as a way of manifesting late-modern spirituality. The case of contemporary myth creation is an example showing how individual religious experience in a specific social context helps build biographic cohesion and how it transforms into metaphorical narration. The authors used the data collected in Rybno in Mazovia as material for analysis. They analyse the biography of one of the inhabitants of Rybno, a person who is extremely strongly emotionally associated with the local monastic congregation which aims to spread the cult of Divine Mercy. The authors based their analysis on two sources, i.e. a free interview conducted with the woman and the texts of the prayers to the “Most Holy Head of Jesus”.
