The events of the lives of St Sister Faustina and St John Paul II portrayed in this book help in gaining a better understanding of the divine plan both for the two great Apostles of Divine Mercy and for spreading the message of the merciful love of God to the whole world.

The Lord first chose a simple, poorly educated, yet extremely pious girl with an exceptional memory as His trustee. He inscribed upon the "blank slate" (tabula rasa) of her soul the truths of Divine Mercy, and she recorded them diligently in the Diary. Thanks to her absolute adamancy, and with the assistance of Blessed Father Michał Sopoćko, the first image of Merciful Christ was painted, and the faithful began praying to the Chaplet of Divine Mercy.

Yet Faustina needed a different follower, somebody with a personality worlds apart from hers: an exquisite theologian and great pope, who would finish the work she began. Under the power of his office and ministry he corroborated the truthfulness of the message, beatified and canonised the Secretary of Divine Mercy, proclaimed the Feast of Divine Mercy, performed the Act of entrusting the world to Divine Mercy, and consecrated the Basilica in Łagiewniki so that it could become the world centre of Divine Mercy.

The work of St John Paul II is today continued by his followers, popes Benedict XVI and Francis, who announced AD 2016 the Year of Mercy. Falling back on the talents of the superb expert in the theology of Divine Mercy Father Professor Jan Machniak, the consummate journalist Jolanta Sosnowska, and the master photographer Adam Bujak, this book tells their fascinating story.
