On February 22, 1931, Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ appeared to Sister Faustina in Cracow Poland. These apparitions lasted until 1938 just before she died and the beginning of World War II. In the diary, our Lord asked her to write, he tells of the infinite depths of his  Divine Mercy and asked for the daily praying of the divine mercy chaplet. He also requested that a Feast day be celebrated on the first Sunday after Easter and praying of a divine mercy novena starting on Good Friday. He gave her the exact words of this chaplet and novena in the dairy, which was first published in Polish in Rome with Vatican approval in 1981Sister Faustina was canonized on April 30, 2000, by St John Paul II.
On the same day, He instituted Divine Mercy Sunday, which we will
celebrate this Sunday. The following hymn is an adaption of the Divine Mercy Chaplet. 
 
Eternal Father, I offer you the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity 
 Of Your Dearly Beloved Son, Our Lord, Jesus Christ, in atonement 
 for our sins and those of the whole world. 
For the sake of his most sorrowful passion, have mercy on us 
and on the whole world
For the sake of his most sorrowful passion  have mercy on us who are dying, especially those who have never known you

Do not know you and are seeking meaning and truth
