THE INSTITUTE OF DIVINE MERCY
- GENERAL INFORMATION
"A misericórdia Divina é multipla.
É possível fazer o Bem sempre e em cada lugar.
O Amor de Deus faz com que sejamos misericordiosos
para com os outros pelas nossas açoes, palavras e oraçoes" (Santa Faustina).
lay persons, whose members profess to live according to the vows of poverty, chastity and obedience. The Institute’s beginnings reach the time of the Second World War. Its roots come
from the community founded in Wilno by Father Michal Sopocko (Servant of God). The idea
of Institute is based on the message of the Lord Jesus given to St. Faustyna. It is from this message that our mission is taken, the mission that every member of the Institute is called to fulfill:
- to glorify the Mercy of God and to pray for His Mercy for the whole world
- to spread the adoration of Divine Mercy
- to show mercy in society by action, word and prayer.
Members of the Institute of Divine Mercy remain in their family, professional and social environments. Community life - which does not take on a visible, outer form - helps members
in their personal journey to holiness, as well as in the work of evangelization. The specific charisma present in every member’s life is total trust in Divine Mercy. The call: "Jesus, I trust
in You!" is the foundation for a member’s spiritual life, as well as their actions. With this comes entrustment to the Mary, the Mother of Divine Mercy. Members of the Institute can be found
in a number of dioceses in Poland, Brazil and Italy.
The Institute of Divine Mercy also has many people
(wives, whose husbands permit, and single women) who take part in the
mission and life of the Institute without professing vows.
Such people make promises to live according to given rules of the Institute.
