Dusty Feasts

The Feast Day of St. Faustina Kowalska (5 October) celebrates the 20th century Polish religious sister and mystic who is most well known for having visions of Jesus Christ which became the inspiration for the Catholic devotion to “the Divine Mercy.”

Her conversations with Jesus were recorded in her diary, which was subsequently published. Miracles attributed to St. Faustina Kowalska include the healing of Fr. Ron Pytel’s heart condition in 1995 and the miraculous recovery of a woman from terminal cancer in 2012. Other notable miracles involve protection during World War II bombings and the conversion of a hardened criminal after encountering the Divine Mercy image.
