The prayer of the Divine Mercy was dictated by Jesus to St. Faustina, a simple, uneducated Polish nun, in the chapel of the Convent of Our Lady of Mercy in Vilinius on September 13th & 14th, 1935.  Jesus appeared to St. Faustina in a vision and He asked her to paint an image of what she saw with the signature "Jesus, I Trust In You".  Jesus promised that the souls that say this chaplet will be embraced by His mercy during their lifetime and especially at the hour of their death.
