Divine Mercy for Moms Sharing the Lessons of St. Faustina

Divine Mercy for Moms invites mothers to explore and deepen their personal devotion to Divine Mercy during the Jubilee Year of Mercy. 

Originating in the early twentieth century, the Divine Mercy devotion of St. Faustina Kowalska is one of the most celebrated of all Catholic devotions. In this, their first book, Catholic bloggers and speakers Michele Faehnle and Emily Jaminet break open the history, practices, and prayers associated with the devotion, guiding busy moms to receive God’s message of Divine Mercy and pass it on to others through their words, deeds, and prayers.

In her famous Diary: Divine Mercy in My Soul, St. Faustina Kowalska recorded a series of visions of Jesus where he revealed the Chaplet of Divine Mercy and promised that anything can be obtained with the prayer if it is compatible with his will. St. John Paul II formally established the Divine Mercy devotion and canonized Faustina in 2000. The  Marians of the Immaculate Conception are dedicated to spreading the Divine Mercy devotion;  the foreword for this book was written by Fr. Michael E. Gaitley, MIC, author of Divine Mercy Explained and 33 Days to Morning Glory.

In Divine Mercy for Moms, Michele Faehnle and Emily Jaminet of the Columbus Catholic Women’s Conference—one of the largest  annual Catholic women’s conferences in the country—draw  upon their own experiences to introduce you to St. Faustina and her five essential elements of the Divine Mercy message:

• The image of the Merciful Jesus
• The Feast of Divine Mercy
• The Chaplet of Divine Mercy
• The House of Mercy
• Spreading the honor of Divine Mercy

With heartwarming stories and practical advice, this book reveals that mercy is not just a gift to be received in the confessional but a spiritual resource that strengthens those who extend themselves in word, deed, and prayer. Designed for personal or group study, Divine Mercy for Moms celebrates the infinite mercy of God and the role of Mary, the Mother of Mercy, in the lives of all believers.

The book also includes group study questions, prayers of mercy, and thirty reflections from the authors’ website, divinemercyformoms.com.

“I encourage mothers, no matter the ages of your children, to gather and take advantage of the faith study section of this book. It will not only transform your lives, but those of your family and society. It is a great aid in inspiring women to respond to our unique call to the New Evangelization and usher in what Pope Saint John Paul II called a civilization of love.”
