Formy kultu Miłosierdzia Bożego w wizjach siostry Faustyny Kowalskiej
Worship Forms of the Divine Mercy in the Visions of Sister Faustyna Kowalska

Summary/Abstract: Since the dawn of biblical history believers have worshiped God’s Merciful Love when they got to know it and really experienced it in God’s works, from the creation of the universe and man, to the redemption of all humanity in Jesus Christ. From this moment His Merciful Love has been worshiped in the Church especially in the liturgy and worship celebrated there. However, it was only because of the mystical manifestations experienced by Faustyna Kowalska that induced a lively discussion about the worship of Divine Mercy distinct from the previous and official forms in the entire Roman Catholic Church and new forms of its celebration. The article presents the message of the Divine Mercy and a description of the forms of its worship (the Feast of Mercy, the image of Merciful Jesus, the chaplet and other prayers). They are discussed chronologically according to the messages Faustyna received in numerous visions as well as conversations with Jesus. Being chosen an Apostle of Divine Mercy and called to proclaim the eternal truth about the Mercy of the Creator and Saviour she turned out to be extraordinarily enriched with the knowledge and experience of this mystery and deeply convinced about her personal mission. Therefore, mankind should be constantly reminded of this message.
