Pope John Paul II At The Tomb Of St. Faustina
Pope John Paul II visited the tomb of St. Maria Faustina
Kowalska in Lagiewniki, Poland, on June 7, 1997. There
he said:
There is nothing that man needs more than Divine
Mercy--that love which is benevolent, which is
compassionate, which raises man above his
weakness to the infinite heights of the holiness
of God.
In this place, we become particularly aware of
this. From here, in fact, went out the message
of Divine Mercy that Christ Himself chose to
pass on to our generation through St. Faustina.
And it is a message that is clear and understandable
for everyone. Anyone can come here, look at this
image of the merciful Jesus, His Heart radiating
peace, and hear in the depths of his own soul
what St. Faustina heard: Fear nothing; I am
always with you (Diary of St. Maria Faustina
Kowalska, 586). And if this person responds with
a sincere heart, "Jesus, I trust in You," he will find
comfort in all his anxieties and fears. ...
I come here to commend the concerns of the
Church and of humanity to the merciful Christ.
On the threshold of the third millennium, I come
to entrust to Him once more my Petrine ministry--
"Jesus, I trust in You!"
