The Shrine of Divine Mercy will celebrate the Saint with morning Mass in her intention at 8:30 am, as is the custom of the Congregation. The intention is thanksgiving for the graces received by St. Faustina in her earthly life and for those the Congregation, the Church, Poland and the world were granted through her intercession and asking that she show the merciful love of God to all and support trust in Him along with the attitude of being good neighbors in us. Broadcast at www.saint-faustina.org . Anyone can submit their prayer there as well as provide the gift of prayer, which an act of true mercy toward our neighbors, or another spiritual gift.

The Congregation of the Sisters of Our Lady of Mercy, the sole custodian of the relics of St. Sister Faustina, in 2025 transferred 119 relics (81 ex ossibus relics – from bones, and 38 from the habit in capsules) to 31 countries worldwide. In Europe, the Apostle of Divine Mercy, in the sign of her relics, journeyed to 12 countries. In addition, the relics were sent to the Philippines, India, Lebanon, Sri Lanka, the USA, Canada, Costa Rica, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay, Venezuela, Australia, Papua New Guinea, Madagascar, Mauritius, Tanzania, Togo, and Côte d’Ivoire. Saint Sister Faustina, in the sign of her relics, is now present in 130 countries on all continents, in 6,932 churches where Divine Mercy is venerated in a special way.

Interest in the figure of Saint Sister Faustina does not diminish but continues to grow, and with it interest in her Diary, about which Saint John Paul II wrote that it is “the Gospel of mercy written from the perspective of the twentieth century.” Bishop John Tong Hon, former ordinary of the Diocese of Hong Kong, confessed in the foreword to the Chinese edition of the work that it is “the most wonderful gift of God offered to the world” and “a spiritual treasure of the whole Church.” The work of the Apostle of Divine Mercy has been translated and published in 36 languages, with a further 4 translations currently in progress. It is today the most frequently translated book from the Polish language, even into such exotic languages as Arabic, Chinese, Hindi, Indonesian, Japanese, Korean, Kinyarwanda, Malayalam, Telugu, Tok Pidgin, and Vietnamese.

The Diary in Polish and in some foreign languages can be purchased at the “Misericordia” publishing house bookstore at the Sanctuary of Divine Mercy in Kraków–Łagiewniki (shopping arcade next to the basilica) or in the online store: www.misericordia.faustyna.net.

On February 16, another Monday’s meeting will be held at the Shrine of Divine Mercy in Krakow-Łagiewniki, dedicated to contemplating the Catechism of the Catholic Church and prayer at the miracle-famous Divine Mercy image and the tomb of St. Faustina for the recovery of faith in the Eucharistic presence of Jesus, and for priests. At 6.45 pm, Fr. Janusz Kościelniak will lead a short meditation based on the articles of the Catechism of the Catholic Church.  The focal point of the program will be the encounter with Jesus in the Eucharist and adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, with individual blessing. Those who cannot physically come to Łagiewniki, can connect to the on-line broadcast at www.saint-faustina.org .

Under this motto, taken from the Gospel of St. Luke (Lk 10:41), a retreat for women will be held in Kazakhstan from February 20–22 this year, at the Parish of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Konajewo (Diocese of Almaty). The retreat, part of the “Samaritan Woman” project, will be led by Sr. Anastasis Omelchenko ISMM and Sr. Kazimiera Wanat CSFN. Martha and Mary encourage the search for balance: action and presence, activity and silence, where both paths have their place in a woman’s life. Meeting these sisters and the dearest Guest of their home can initiate a conversation about the tension between one’s own activity and presence, about how in femininity there is room both for action and for silence.

In the evening, when I was in my cell I saw he Lord Jesus clothed in a white garment”, St. Faustina wrote in her Diary. “One hand was raised in the gesture of blessing, the other was touching the garment at the breast. From beneath the garment, slightly drawn aside at the breast, there were emanating two large rays, one red, the other pale. In silence I kept my gaze fixed on the Lord; my soul was struck with awe, but also with great joy. After a while, Jesus said to me: ‘Paint an image according to the pattern you see, with the signature: Jesus, I trust in You. I desire that this image be venerated, first in your chapel, and [then] throughout the world’” (Diary, 47). The event took place in St. Faustina’s cell at the Plock convent of the Sisters of Our Lady of Mercy in the Old Market on February 22, 1931. The first Divine Mercy image was painted in Vilnius in 1934 under the guidance of Sister Faustina herself in the studio of Eugeniusz Kazimirowski and exposed for public veneration for the first time at the Gate of Dawn in 1935. Since then, a number of images h-ave been created. The miracle-famous Divine Mercy image by Adolf Hyła, found in the convent chapel of the Sisters of Our Lady of Mercy at the Shrine of Divine Mercy is the best known one. The painting was created under the guidance of the Mercy apostle’s Krakow spiritual director, Fr. Józef Andrasz, S.J., who dedicated it on the Feast of Mercy, April 16, 1944. It was this image that fulfilled the words of Jesus spoken to St. Faustina at the first revelation: I desire that this image be venerated, first in your chapel, and [then] throughout the world. Not only pilgrims from around the world who physically arrive at this holy place can pray in front of this image, but also online visitors viewing our live broadcasts and the high quality presentation of the image at www.saint-faustina.org.

On February 22 of this year, on the 95th anniversary of the revelation of the image of Jesus the Merciful in the Divine Mercy Shrine in Płock, located at the Old Market Square, Masses will be celebrated at 8:00 a.m., 12:00 noon, and 5:00 p.m. The solemn Mass at 12:00 noon will be presided over by Bishop Szymon Stułkowski and Bishop Romuald Kamiński.At 3:00 p.m., there will be prayer during the Hour of Mercy and the Chaplet of Divine Mercy.

As part of the anniversary celebrations, from February 19 to 21, during the 5:00 p.m. Mass, a triduum will be led by Rev. Dr. Jarosław Tomaszewski, National Secretary of the Pontifical Mission Societies in Poland.

The anniversary celebrations are attended not only by the residents of Płock, but also by devotees of Divine Mercy from many towns throughout Poland, who traditionally come for these ceremonies despite the winter weather.

This is the slogan of an initiative connected with commemorating the 95th anniversary of the revelation of the image of Jesus the Merciful to Saint Sister Faustina. The initiative invites people, on February 22 at 7:00 p.m.—the presumed time of Jesus’ revelation (“in the evening”)—to light candles in the windows of their homes, at roadside shrines and crosses, and to pray the Chaplet of Divine Mercy for the intention of peace. This prayer initiative is organized by the Divine Mercy Shrine in Płock, where this historic revelation of Jesus the Merciful took place.

In 2025, at the Shrine of Divine Mercy in Płock, thanks to the generosity and great kindness of our donors, we were able to carry out many works. From April to December 2025, design works related to the interior arrangement of our church were carried out; we purchased new organs together with speakers; an illuminated display case was made in the vestibule of the Shrine; equipment for online transmission was installed and internet access was connected in the new building; works related to systems ensuring the safety of people staying on our premises were completed (fire protection system, monitoring, access control, etc.); plantings were made in the courtyard of the Shrine, and a waste shelter was built. We equipped the conference room with tables, necessary furniture, and sound system; tables were purchased for the café; we furnished rooms with kitchenettes in the new part of the Pilgrims’ House; we made available to pilgrims restrooms equipped with dispensers for towels, soap, paper, etc.

The most important works planned for 2026 are the installation of the floor and the construction of new, comfortable pews for the Shrine. If funds allow, we also plan to install the final sound system and complete other elements of the interior décor. At the same time, we wish to further equip the café with necessary appliances: an oven, dishes, and a coffee machine, so that it may fully serve pilgrims from all over Poland and from around the world who come to our Shrine.

The completion of the above works would not have been possible without the support of donors. We believe that God Himself desires this place to radiate His Mercy and that everyone may draw here from the Source, experiencing an encounter with Him. We feel honored to be able to build such an important place, where for the first time the Merciful Jesus appeared to Saint Sister Faustina, and that we can do this together with you. We invite you to the Shrine of Divine Mercy in Płock!

On the website www.faustyna.pl and its eight language versions, a drawing of patrons for the year 2026 is underway. How effective their intercession can be is shown by the testimony of Katarzyna. The saints in heaven are not idle — they not only praise God, but also want to come to our aid in matters that are in accordance with His will, that is, good for us in earthly life and in eternity.

At the beginning of the year, by chance, I came across information that the Sisters were holding a drawing of a patron saint for 2026 on their website. I drew St. Januarius. I was surprised to learn that this saint is the patron of people suffering from heart disease. On December 15, 2024, I had my first severe attack of ventricular arrhythmia. A Holter test showed over 51,000 heartbeats, while the norm is around 200. At the same time, my entire heart and my whole body were healthy. No one knew where it came from. With chest pain and other severe ailments, I went for 14 months without medication. I waited 7 months for a cardiology appointment. I went there on January 16 of this year. The heart was healthy — the arrhythmia went wild even during the examinations. I prayed to this Saint for help, and after that day the arrhythmia disappeared. I don’t know what happened. Do I have the right to attribute the miracle of healing to St. Januarius?

Two asteroids discovered by the Vatican Astronomical Observatory have been named in honor of Polish saints: St. Sister Faustina Kowalska and St. Ursula Ledóchowska. The information was announced by the International Astronomical Union’s Committee on Small Body Nomenclature. The asteroids were discovered by Vatican astronomers Fr. Richard P. Boyle, SJ, and his long-time collaborator Kazimieras Černis from Vilnius, using the Vatican Observatory telescope on Mount Graham in Arizona.

Every day tens of thousands of people leave this earth due to illness, old age, wars, disasters, violence or other reasons. Hunger alone kills 11 people every minute, and every 40 seconds someone in the world commits suicide.  Jesus asks through St.  Faustina that we pray for the dying with the words of the Chaplet of Divine Mercy.

Therefore, the Congregation of the Sisters of Our Lady of Mercy at the Shrine of Divine Mercy in Krakow-Łagiewniki runs the Chaplet for the Dying. In 2025, people from Poland and many other countries around the world who declared their willingness to help the dying on a selected day and in a selected time zone supported 49,710 people with prayer

Anyone can join in this work of mercy and rush to the aid of those most in need of support, as they make their last and most important decision, which concerns eternity, at a time when they are most vulnerable and under attack from Satan. When filling out the entry form, choose the day of the week and the time of your vigil, as well as how information about the dying will be notified by text message (only in Poland) or e-mail.

Other participants in this project are donors who support this work financially, doctors, nurses, volunteers in hospitals and hospices, and all those who send text messages with the names of the dying, by which they show that they care for their salvation.

The YouTube channel of the Congregation of the Sisters of Our Lady of Mercy, Faustyna.pl, has over 87,800 subscribers—people who follow it and wish to receive notifications about what is published there. Last year, the online broadcast from the Shrine of Divine Mercy recorded over 5,100,000 views. A total of 680 videos have already been made available on the channel, including an archive of daily prayer at the Hour of Mercy and the Chaplet of Divine Mercy from the Łagiewniki Shrine, as well as Sunday homilies by Rev. Dr. habil. Józef Pochwat, associate professor, lecturer in patrology at the Pontifical University of John Paul II, and chaplain of the Congregation at the convent in Łagiewniki.

People from many countries of the world participating in the work of the Perpetual Chaplet of Divine Mercy are praying not only in their own intentions, but also asking for “mercy on us and the whole world”. Specific intention: thanksgiving for the gift of the Divine Mercy image and all the graces obtained before it, asking that the world may find peace and man may find happiness in God’s merciful love.

The work of Perpetual Chaplet is a response to the request of Jesus to constantly implore for mercy “for us and the whole world”. The work has been operated by the Congregation of the Sisters of Our Lady of Mercy at: www.faustyna.pl since 2011. Anyone can participate in it by filling out a short form and declare to say the Chaplet of Divine Mercy, which Jesus dictated to St. Faustinaat least once.

New submissions should be sent by filling out a form with contact information (full name of the church, mailing address, email, and phone) and a horizontal photo in .jpg format at www.saint-faustina.org in the Sister Faustina – Churches tab.

Sister Faustina is the patron saint of many schools, works of mercy, and other entities in Poland and around the world, as can already be seen at Faustyna.pl. The Congregation of the Sisters of Our Lady of Mercy is collecting this information. Entities under the patronage of St. Faustina should be submitted by filling out a form with contact information (full name of the entity, mailing address, email address, and telephone) and a horizontal photo in .jpg format at www.sister-faustina.org, in the Sister Faustina tab.

The Lord Jesus, in the devotion to Divine Mercy, gives us a special time of grace at three o’clock in the afternoon. It is the moment of His dying on the cross, of which he said to Sister Faustina: “This is the hour of great mercy for the whole world. … In this hour, I will refuse nothing to the soul that makes a request of Me in virtue of My Passion…” (Diary, 1320). In order to take advantage of these promises of Jesus, one must pray with confidence and add deeds of mercy towards others to the trustful prayer. Jesus proposes three ways of experiencing the prayer at the Hour of Mercy: celebrating the Way of the Cross, visiting the Blessed Sacrament, and if it is impossible, connecting with Him, dying on the cross, wherever 3 pm finds us. In this prayer, we turn directly to Jesus, and in our pleading, we appeal to the merits of His painful Passion. It is a privileged time in the Divine Mercy devotion, which is why the Hour of Mercy and the Chaplet of Divine Mercy are practiced every day in all convents of the Congregation. You can join in this prayer through an on-line transmission from the Shrine of Divine Mercy in Kraków-Łagiewniki at faustyna.pl and via the Faustyna.pl application.

 

Responding to the needs of individual pilgrims from all over the world who come to the Shrine of Divine Mercy in Krakow-Łagiewniki, the Congregation of the Sisters of Our Lady of Mercy has prepared a very functional guide to this holy place using QR codes. It contains not only information about the individual locations, but above all the message of the treasure of this place, the spiritual heritage of St.  Faustina, especially given by Jesus and recorded in her Diary. From now on, each pilgrim, scanning a QR code on a smartphone, will be guided by the sisters to a particular site, learn what meetings and conversations with the Inhabitants of Heaven St.  Faustina had there. With the help of a 3D map one can see the entire Shrine and move on to the next object. The guide has already been made available not only in Polish, but also in English, Spanish, Italian, French, Portuguese, Slovak, German and Russian. For other language areas, a scanned QR code automatically selects English.

Under this title, the long-awaited new biography of St. Faustina, written by Sr. M. Elżbieta Siepak ISMM, has been published by Misericordia Publishing. The book is based exclusively on published source materials (“Diary”, “Letters of St. Faustina”, “Memories of St. Faustina”) and unpublished materials from archives, as well as documents from the beatification process.

This album edition of the biography and the spiritual legacy of the Apostle of Divine Mercy contains 385 photographs, many of which have never been published before. Extensive footnotes (over 676) provide an even deeper context of her life: in her family environment, during her years of service in wealthier families, and in the convents of the Congregation of the Sisters of Our Lady of Mercy. The publication also includes indexes of people and places, making it easy to find the desired information, as well as a bibliography of the most important works. The book is beautifully published and is a unique position not only for those interested in her life, mission, and spirituality. The book is available at the Misericordia Publishing store in the Sanctuary of Divine Mercy in Kraków-Łagiewniki and in the online store. Buy here

The Church under the invocation of St. Joseph at the monastery of the Congregation of the Sisters of Our Lady of Mercy in Walendów – where St. Faustina prayed and where Fr. Edmund Elter SJ “unfolded her wings for flight” for the first time, confirming the divine origin of her mystical experiences – is undergoing a general renovation and needs financial support.

The sisters have already managed to: replace the windows and doors, install new electrical wiring and lighting, repaint the church interior, restore the marble floor, replace the pews, and repair the bells with an automatic system. Soon, they plan to install a soundproof confessional and build a railing in front of the altar.

However, the main goal of the fundraising effort is to renovate the church façade and replace the gutters. Donations for this purpose should be sent to the following account:

Congregation of the Sisters of Our Lady of Mercy
Walendów
ul. Nad Utratą 30
05-830 Nadarzyn

The sisters, grateful for any support towards this very costly investment, which exceeds the monastery’s financial capabilities, remember benefactors and donors in their daily prayers.

St. Faustina’s prophetic mission of recalling the biblical truth of God’s mercy resulted, among other things, in churches and parishes being dedicated to Jesus the Merciful or Divine Mercy. Many Shrines of Divine Mercy have also been established in Poland and around the world. Some of them can be found in the list at Faustyna.pl. It is worth mentioning that during St. Faustina’s lifetime, there was not a single parish or shrine under this name. The Congregation of the Sisters of Our Lady of Mercy is collecting this information. Shrines of Divine Mercy can be submitted by filling out a form with contact information (full name of the entity, mailing address, email address, and telephone) and a horizontal photo in .jpg format at www.saint-faustina.org in the Shrines tab. Make sure beforehand that the shrine in question is not already listed on the website.

Every day at the Shrine of Divine Mercy in Krakow-Łagiewniki, Sisters of the Congregation of Our Lady of Mercy gather at the Image of Divine Mercy and the tomb of St. Faustina to pray the Rosary for families and married couples experiencing difficulties and crises. Also at the Shrine of Divine Mercy in Płock, Holy Mass is celebrated on every 22nd day of a month at 5pm with this intention. To join this prayer in the Łagiewniki Shrine, also in the intention of your family or loved ones, you can access the live video broadcasting at www.saint-faustina.org.

The Chaplet for the Dying project supports a daily average of 125 moribund, whose names have been reported to us by SMS or e-mail. The moribund are spiritually supported not only by people from Poland, but also from other countries worldwide, who have declared their willingness to hold vigil on a selected day and time to pray the Chaplet of Divine Mercy for the intention of the person whose name they have received by text message or e-mail. We still need more people who will take up this ministry of mercy, so that help will quickly reach those who are the weakest, but are making the most important decisions and fighting the most difficult fights of their lives. Information about the project and applications are accessible via www.saint-faustina.org. The work is carried out by the Congregation of the Sisters of Our Lady of Mercy’s Shrine of Divine Mercy in Krakow-Łagiewniki at: www.faustyna.pl.

On every Thursday at 5 pm, at the Shrine of Divine Mercy in Krakow-Łagiewniki, a Divine Mercy Holy Mass is celebrated for the intercession of St. Faustina in the intention of requests and thanks to the faithful offered in the chapel with the image of Merciful Jesus and the tomb of the Apostle of Divine Mercy. You can add an intention right before the Mass and those who cannot physically be present at it can join us in prayer thanks to the online broadcast at www.faustyna.pl.
