Diocese of Kontum honors Saint Faustina Kowalska
First source report
The Diocese of Kontum observes the feast of Saint Faustina Kowalska on October 5.
Born in 1905 in Glogowiec, Poland, Faustina Kowalska joined the Congregation of the Sisters of Our Lady of Mercy at age 20. During her 13 years in the religious order, she experienced visions and received the stigmata. She recorded her life in a diary that has been translated into many different languages.
The Diocese notes that on February 22, 1931, Jesus Christ appeared to Faustina at her monastery in Plock and instructed her to paint an image based on what she saw. This image depicts the risen Christ giving a blessing and holds a central position in the devotion to Mercy.
