You probably already know about the devotion to Divine Mercy in the Catholic Church.

Divine Mercy images can be seen in churches around the world. The Chaplet of Divine Mercy is very popular, and Divine Mercy Sunday is an official feast day of the Church. The founder of the devotion, Saint Faustina Kowalska, is even honored as a saint.

But it wasn’t always this way. In fact, the whole devotion was suppressed for many years and almost lost for good. It only came back due to prayer, perseverance, and the hand of Divine Providence. This is the amazing story.
