(The DIARY of Saint Faustina) VILNIUS, Lithuania "29 June, 1935
Founding of the Congregation of The Sisters of Merciful Jesus
The Congregation was founded in 1947 by Fr Michael Sopocko as the answer for the apparition of Jesus Christ, who ordered St. Faustina among other things, to found the new religious community. The members of this congregation begins each activity to renew the message of: Jesus I trust in You. The spirituality of the congregation consists in surrending God's activity and in trustful accepting of all the consequences, which such surrendering brings.The congregation leads the apostolic activity, trying to answer for the actual needs of the Church. The Sisters work in 17 monastic houses in Poland and in 16 houses abroad. They lead a hospice, a house of the protection of life conceived, where they proclaim retreats and catechise.

FR. MICHAEL SOPOCKO
Divine Providence entrusted a very important role in Saint Faustina's mission to her confessor and spiritual director Fr. Michael Sopocko. During Saint Faustina's stay in Vilnius (Lithuania) in the years 1933-1936, he was for her an irreplaceable help in discerning interior inspirations and visions. Obedient to his orders, she wrote a DIARY, which is an now an extraordinarily valuable document of Catholic mysticism. In the DIARY one can also find evidence of Fr. Michael Sopocko's extraordinary character and his work in fulfilling the desires of the Lord Jesus.The painting of the Image and the exposition of the Image for public honor, making the Chaplet to the Divine Mercy widely known, undertaking preliminary efforts to establish the Feast of the Divine Mercy and the founding of the new Congregation, all took place in Vilnius thanks to the labors of Fr. Michael Sopocko. From that time the collaborative efforts, brought to fruition at the cost of prayer and suffering, now radiate to embrace the whole world.

- The Institute of Divine Mercy is an institute of consecrated life (on the diocesan level) for female 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...
