Description

This high-quality Divine Mercy Vilnius print of Jesus, The Divine Mercy is the only one painted by Eugene Kazimirowski in Vilnius (presently, Lithuania) in 1934 under the direction of Saint Faustina Kowalska. It was venerated publicly for the first time on April 26, 1935, during the closing celebration of the Jubilee of Redemption at the Shrine of Our Lady of the Dawn Gate.

In 1937 the Image was placed in St. Michael’s Church, and it remained there until 1948 when the church was closed by the Communist government. A journey of hiding then took place until 1956, when it was enshrined in the Church of Nova Ruda (Belarus). There it remained until 1986 in spite of the fact that the church was closed in 1970 and provided a very poor physical environment for the painting. In 1986 the image was secretly removed again and brought to the Holy Spirit Church in Vilnius, Lithuania. I 1991, on account of damages sustained, the painting was retouched by a local artist, but the face lost its original appearance in the process.  Under the guidance of Cardinal Backis the image was professionally restored in May 2003, and for the time being, it will continue to be venerated in Holy Spirit Church, Vilnius.

Accented with the signature Jesus, I Trust In You in a ribbon setting. 

(Available in Spanish)

A great gift for families, prayer groups, retreats, and especially those undergoing difficulties.  Have them blessed and let Jesus do the rest!
