Movie Night
In conjunction with the Year of Mercy, Visitation of Our
Lady Church will be showing a documentary of the
Original Image of the Divine Mercy.
There is NO FEE to attend.
Saturday, July 9th
immediately following the 5pm Mass
in the Church
A team of documentarists travel through Europe and the United States uncovering the answers to many unanswered questions about the little-known Original Image of Divine Mercy. In secret and at the request of Jesus himself, Saint Faustina and
her confessor, Fr. Michal Sopocko, worked tirelessly with a relatively unknown artist to duplicate on a canvas her mystical
vision of the Merciful Jesus. With Fr. Michal modeling as Christ for many hours, the three unlikely friends came up with the
only Image of Divine Mercy that Saint Faustina ever saw. But after all the corrections and touch-ups at the insistence of Saint
Faustina, the violently anti-Catholic Soviet occupation of Vilnius, Lithuania, forced the painting into hiding. Finally, two
humble nuns bravely transported the miraculous painting across the dangerous border between Lithuania and Belarus, and the
painting was finally restored to its permanent home in a beautiful shrine in Vilnius according to the wishes of the Saint.
Despite the popularity of the devotion to the Divine Mercy around the world, very few realize that there is only one Original Divine Mercy Image.
