Jesus prophesied to St. Faustina that the message of Divine Mercy would spread throughout the entire world, despite opposition and suppression: "By means of this image I shall be granting many graces to souls; so let every soul have access to it." (Diary 570). He also told her: "My daughter, tell the whole world about My inconceivable mercy. I desire that the Feast of Mercy be a refuge and shelter for all souls, and especially for poor sinners." (Diary 699). Remarkably, the Divine Mercy devotion was officially banned by the Vatican from 1959 to 1978 due to an erroneous translation of Faustina's diary. St. Faustina had herself prophesied this ban, warning her spiritual director Fr. Sopocko that he would suffer much because of the devotion. Despite this suppression, the devotion was fully restored and has spread to virtually every country on Earth, with the Chaplet of Divine Mercy and the Divine Mercy Image becoming among the most recognized Catholic devotions worldwide.
