Saint Faustina (Helen Kowalksa, “Saint Maria Faustyna Kowalska”, 1905 – 1938) is one of the most venerated and emulated Saints in all of Poland. Jesus appeared to her in Apparitions which she kept record of in what is now known as the “Diary of Saint Maria Faustina Kowalska: Divine Mercy in My Soul”. St. Faustina devoted her life to Divine Mercy, and to spread its message. In Vilnius, Lithuania, Pilgrims can see the original painting of Divine Mercy and be touched by its message and history.
