Simply stated, what is the message and mission Christ gave to St. Faustina? Reflect that one may give a slice of bread, or a few dollars to an other in need; one may even lay down one’s life for an other. But what greater act of mercy can there be, - than a God Who would lay down His life for an other; for all others; for humanity? By His life, suffering, death and resurrection, Christ did lay down His life and did resurrect in human history, and in doing so, He gives to each of us, in and by and through His Resurrection, the promise and an act accomplished in human history, expressing the fullness of unconditional love and mercy; He therewith gives to each of us the promise and the hope for our own personal resurrection.

About the Author
Sr. Paulette G. Honeygosky, a cousin to St. Faustina, was privileged to attend the Canonization of St. Faustina by Pope John Paul II, in A Vincentian Sister of Charity, she was educated at Duquesne, "About My Cousin Saint Faustina," "In Search of Heart Answers," "Muslims, Catholics, Jews, Evangelicals: To Be Is Already To Be One," and most recently published, "Text Message From Heaven To Earth". Now that Bishop Reverend Paul Loverde has blessed the Divine Mercy Icon, that is travelling from parish to parish in the Arlington, Virginia Diocese, Sister speaks, when invited to do so, about the ECUMENICAL DIMENSION Of THE DIVINE MERCY Message, given to her cousin St. Faustina in 1931, to give to the world as a reminder that the hope and promise of mercy and personal resurrection is for one and all. The impending canonization of Pope John Paul II will undoubtedly help to make the message of Divine Mercy, and of the Creator’s Unconditional Love of each and all, - more known, understood and fully embraced worldwide.
