The Divine Grace of Jesus , also known as Divine Grace , is a Roman Catholic devotion to Jesus Christ associated with the famous appearances of Jesus revealed to Saint Faustina Kowalska. The Roman Catholic service and the respected image under the Christian title refer to the infinite love of God for all. Saint Faustina was awarded the title "Mercy Secretary" by the Holy See in the Year of Yubileum of 2000.
Sister Faustina Kowalska reports a number of appearances during the religious ecstasy she wrote in her diary, then published as the book Diary: Divine Mercy in My Soul . The three main themes of devotion are to seek and obtain the grace of God, to trust the abundant grace of Christ, and ultimately to show mercy to others and act as a channel for God's mercy to them.
Pope John Paul II, who is of Polish origin, has a great affinity for this devotion and permits it in the Church's Liturgical Calendar. The liturgical party of divine grace is celebrated on the first Sunday after Easter. Some members of the Anglican Communion also share their pious faith and devotion in the renewal of the church.

Devotion
The main focus of Divine Divine devotion is the love of God and the desire to let love and compassion flow through their own hearts toward those who need it. As he presented the Sacred Divine Sanctuary, Pope John Paul II referred to this when he said: "Despite the grace of God there is no source of hope for mankind".
There are five major forms of this devotion:
- Divine Mercy Imagery with special inscription Jesus, I believe in you ;
- Hari Raya Rahmat Peringatan Hari Raya
- Pronunciation of the Chaplet of Divine Mercy
- Show Hours Show at 3 o'clock or pm
- The spread of compassionate action toward all mankind, in preparation for the return of Jesus Christ to earth
Stating that grace is the greatest attribute of God.
- The words associated with Jesus by Faustina in his diary.
As in the prayers that make up the Chaplet of Divine Mercy, there are three main themes for the devotion of Divine Mercy: to seek and obtain the grace of God, to believe in the abundance of Christ's mercy, and ultimately to show mercy to others and act as a channel for God's mercy toward them.
The first and second elements associated with the signature "Jesus I Believe in You" in the image of Divine Mercy and Faustina states that on April 28, 1935, the day the Divine Mercy Day was celebrated, Jesus told him: "Every soul believes and believes in mercy -I'll get it. "
The third component is reflected in the statement "Asking for My mercy on behalf of sinners" linked to Jesus in the Faustina diary (Book I, 186-187). This statement is followed in a diary with a special short prayer: "O Blood and Water, which spurt out from the Heart of Jesus as a source of mercy for us, I believe in You." which Faustina also recommend for the Divine Mercy Jam. In his diary (Notebook II, item 742) Faustina writes that Jesus told him: "I demand from you the merciful deeds, which arise out of love for Me." and that he explains that there are three ways to exercise compassion for your neighbor: the first-by deed, the word second by word, the third prayer by prayer.
Devotion of Divine Mercy sees mercy as a key element in God's plan for salvation and emphasizes the belief that it is by grace that God gives the only son to the redemption of humankind, after the fall of Adam. The opening prayer for the Mass of Sunday Greatness of Relief refers to this and begins: "Heavenly Father and merciful God, We no longer seek Jesus among the dead, because He lives and has become the Lord of Life".
In 1959, the Vatican banned his image and devotion to him for a number of factors. Some of the Polish bishops questioned Kowalska's claim and felt uncomfortable with the similarity of the image with red and white Polish flags. The Polish priest reportedly interpreted the rays as a symbol of the flag. Prohibition of devotion only revoked on April 15, 1978, due to pressure from Polish whales in the future, Karol Wojty? A, who is a fan of Faustina Kowalska.

The explanation of these colors is given to Saint Faustina by Jesus himself who says, "The two rays symbolize blood and water". These colors refer to the "blood and water" of the Gospel of John (John 19:34) which are also mentioned in the choice prayer of the Chaplet. The words "Jesus I Trust in Thee" usually accompany the image ( Jezu Ufam Tobie in Polish).
The original Divine Mercy image was painted by Eugene Kazimierowski in Vilnius, Lithuania, under the direction of St. Faustina. However, according to his diary, he cries when he sees that the finished picture is not as beautiful as the vision he received, but Jesus comforts him by saying, "Not in the beauty of color, or from the brush is the greatness of this image, but in my grace ". This image is widely used during the early years of devotion, and still circulates in motion, but Hyla's image remains one of the most reproduced renderings. After the Feast of Divine Grace Sunday was given to the Universal Church by Pope John Paul II on April 30, 2000, a new version of the image has emerged from a new generation of Catholic artists.

Often you hear the hour of attacking the third hour immersing yourself in My mercy, admiring and glorifying it, begging for its omnipotence for the whole world, and especially for the unfortunate sinners, for at that time grace is wide open for every soul.
