In Catholicism, the Divine Mercy is a devotion to Jesus Christ associated with the reported apparitions of Jesus to Faustina Kowalska.[1]

The venerated image under this title refers to what Kowalska's diary describes as "God's loving mercy" towards all people, especially for sinners.[2][3]

Kowalska was granted the title "Secretary of Mercy" by the Holy See in the Jubilee Year of 2000.[4][5][6]
