Divine Mercy devotion "touches the heart" of
Poland
(Vatican Radio) Pope Francis
on Saturday was scheduled to visit Divine Mercy Sanctuary in Kraków, Poland.
The Basilica is the resting
place of Saint Faustina Kowalska, the founder of the Divine Mercy devotion.
Father Krzysztof Marcjanowicz
is from Kraków and now works at the Pontifical Council for the Promotion of the
New Evangelization.
He told Vatican Radio the
Devotion to Divine Mercy is important to the devotional life of the people of
Poland.
Listen to the Vatican
Viewpoint featuring the interview with Krzysztof Marcjanowicz:
“I think that devotion to the
Divine Mercy in Poland is maybe the second largest religious idea immediately
after the Madonna in Częstochowa,” – he said – “We feel the idea of Divine
Mercy like our personal thoughts and personal thing that touches the heart of
every one of us in Poland.”
“Speaking of Divine Mercy,
and speaking of God’s Mercy like a general idea: The Mercy is the way God acts
with us. If you think about original sin, the first thing that God’s made was
to … show that even if you are a sinner, I will not leave you alone,” –he
continued – “I will always leave you the way to paradise open; that’s the
mercy, because we didn’t gain this, we didn’t even sometimes ask for this. But
the Lord is always ready to forgive, and that’s the Divine’s character: the
Mercy. It is the way he shows us his love.
