Jesus asked St. Faustina to have an image painted of him standing with two rays coming from his chest, with the words, "Jesus, I trust in You" underneath. The rays represented the blood and water that poured out when he was pierced by the lance after his crucifixion. Jesus instructed St. Faustina that this image would be a reminder to all mankind of God's endless mercy. Jesus said it should also be a reminder to us that we are called to show God's love and mercy to others as well. Teach your children about the love and mercy of Christ!
