The Amazing Connection Between St. Faustina and St. Margaret Mary Alacoque
Fr. Chris Alar, MIC, takes us deep into the heart of the Church’s great mystery — the inseparable link between the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the message of Divine Mercy. Long before St. Faustina received the vision of Christ’s mercy, St. Margaret Mary Alacoque revealed the burning love of His Heart. Both messages — separated by centuries — form one divine revelation of the same truth: God is Love, and His love takes action through mercy.
Fr. Chris unpacks Scripture and tradition to show how God’s plan has always unfolded in perfect harmony. From St. Paul’s teaching that all have sinned without distinction — yet not without exception — to the martyrdom of Zechariah, to the parallels between St. Margaret Mary and St. Faustina, every detail points to God’s providence and unity of message.
Through the Sacred Heart, we learn that God is love. Through Divine Mercy, we learn that His love moves toward us, heals us, and saves us. As St. John Paul II—elected Pope on this very day—taught: “Mercy is love’s second name.”
Discover why these devotions aren’t separate paths, but one road that leads to the same Heart of Jesus—our refuge, our hope, and our salvation.
