This figurine of the Divine Mercy comes displayed in a box with a front window, the story of the Divine Mercy on the back and a prayer card included inside.

Back of box reads:
"Divine Mercy:
The message and devotion of the Divine Mercy is based on the apparitions of Jesus to Sr. Maria Faustina of the Most Blessed Sacrament in Poland beginning in 1931. According to the Diary of Saint Faustina, Jesus said 'Paint an image according to the pattern you see, with the inscription: Jesus, I trust in You. I desire that this image be venerated, first in your chapel, then throughout the world.' In 1935, an inner voice taught her the prayer of Divine Mercy and Jesus told her 'Say unceasingly the chaplet that I have taught you.' He also asked her to pray at three o’clock each afternoon and to 'immerse yourself in My Passion.' Devotion to the Divine Mercy spread even before the death of Sr. Faustina in 1938. However, around 1959 the Church prohibited the spread of the devotion due to inaccurate information and confusing translations of the Diary. Through the persistence of the Archbishop of Krakow, almost twenty years later, Cardinal Karol Wojtyla had the evidence reevaluated and the Church reversed it's earlier decision. The message that Jesus gave to Sr. Faustina is one of complete love and mercy for poor sinners and for every soul that will draw near to Him. 'My mercy is greater that your sins, and those of the entire world,' He says, 'I let my sacred Heart be pierced with a lance, thus opening wide the source of mercy for you. Come with trust to draw graces from this fountain.' Jesus calls upon us to trust Him, to receive His mercy and to let it flow to others. 'No soul that has called upon my mercy has ever been disappointed.'"
