Because of what Saint Faustina learned of the Divine Mercy, the first Sunday after Easter has become Divine Mercy Sunday in the Catholic Church. Devotion to the Divine Mercy has gained widespread prevalence in the Catholic Church, in every country.
In the Diary of Saint Maria Faustina Kowalska, she recalls that first vision:"
"In the evening, when I was in my cell, I saw the Lord Jesus clothes in a white garment. 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… 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.”
"The flames of mercy are burning Me – clamouring to be spent; I want to pour them out upon these souls,” Jesus later told her
