St. Maria Faustina is the patron saint of Apostle of Divine Mercy. St. Faustina, known by the name Helen Kowalska a simple young nun to whom on February 22, 1931, Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ appeared to her with a message of Mercy for all mankind. Under this date Saint Faustina entered in her diary: "In the evening, when I was in my cell, I became aware of the Lord Jesus clothed in a white garment. One hand was raised in blessing, the other was touching the garment at the breast. From the opening of the garment at the breast there came forth two large rays, one red and the other pale. In silence I gazed intently at the Lord; my soul was overwhelmed with fear, but also with great joy. After a while Jesus said to me, 'paint an image according to the pattern you see, with the inscription: Jesus, I trust in You.'" Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ appeared to St. Faustina again at later time with this message: "The pale ray stands for the Water which makes souls righteous; the red ray stands for the Blood which is the life of souls. These two rays issued forth from the depths of My most tender Mercy at that time when My agonizing Heart was opened by a lance on the Cross....Fortunate is the one who will dwell in their shelter, for the just hand of God shall not lay hold of him."
