The Chaplet of Divine Mercy is a direct call for God's own mercy to be poured into the hearts of humanity, especially those who do not yet know Him. On February 22, 1931, St. Faustina Kowalska received a private revelation where Jesus expressed His divine desire:

"I wish that on the second Sunday of Easter the Feast of Mercy be celebrated." "On that day the bowels of my Mercy are open. Whoever confesses and receives Holy Communion will obtain total forgiveness of sins and punishment".

In her diary, *Divine Mercy in My Soul* (Revelation 35), Sister Faustina affirms that Jesus told her:

"The greater the sinner, the greater the right he has to my mercy... He who trusts in my mercy will not perish, for all his affairs are mine, and his enemies will crash upon the footstool of my feet... No one is excluded from my mercy".

In Revelation 24, St. Faustina Kowalska learned the Chaplet with a specific promise attached to it for the hour of death:

"Every person who prays it will receive my great mercy at the hour of death. Priests will recommend it to sinners as the last table of salvation. Even the most hardened sinner, if he prays this rosary just once, will receive the grace of my infinite Mercy. I want the whole world to know my Mercy; I want to grant unimaginable graces to those who trust in my Mercy."

"For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world."
