About Mercy Films, Inc.

Mercy Films Inc. was founded in 2002 for the purpose of producing a film on the life of Saint Maria Faustina. Mercy Films, Inc. is working jointly with the Marian Fathers of the Immaculate Conception, Stockbridge, MA, on the content of this film. The former vice-postulator for the cause of St. Faustina, Fr. Seraphim Michalenko, MIC, is spiritual director of the film. This film must authentically portray the Faustina's life, her diary, and the truths of our Faith.

The idea grew from a conversation with Father Seraphim Michalenko, who shared his vision that if we could produce a film that portrayed the mystical life of St. Faustina, that the modern audience would want to see it. Faustina's mystical experiences rival that of any supernatural movie ever made, and because they are all true, the movie needs no embellishments.

A late-evening attack on her way back from chapel by vicious dogs who were really demons, bi-locations, reading hearts, seeing and speaking with saints, angels appearing on the train to Warsaw, holding the Christ Child given her by the Mother of God, attacks by monstrous looking demons, visions of heaven, purgatory and hell... there were so many of these supernatural events in Faustina's seemingly simple life, events which will awaken the modern audience to the reality of a wonderful spiritual existence which we as human beings are a part of.

However, as astounding as all of these are, these mystical events will serve to open our minds and hearts to an even greater message, that is, Our Lord's message of His Unfathomable Love and Mercy for even the greatest sinners, which He wants to tell mankind about in these very troubled times. Faustina recorded 7 times in her diary that Jesus said this message will prepare the world for His Final Coming. This is simply a story without rival... a story greater than Joan of Arc. Joan heard voices and fought flesh and blood. Faustina saw the spiritual world like you and I see this world, and fought battles with demons.

Jesus told Faustina He is granting us a time of mercy before the Day of Justice. We are in that period now... let us get the message out, so that people can prepare themselves for His Coming. All this has been ratified by the Church, and the instrument of this message, St. Faustina, has been canonized. The Holy Father, speaking at the Dedication of the Shrine of Divine Mercy, Kraków-Lagiewniki, 17 August 2002 in Poland, spoke thus:

Today, therefore, in this Shine, I wish solemnly to entrust the world to Divine Mercy. I do so with the burning desire that the message of God’s merciful love, proclaimed here through Saint Faustina, may be made known to all the peoples of the earth and fill their hearts with hope. May this message radiate from this place to our beloved homeland and throughout the world. May the binding promise of the Lord Jesus be fulfilled: from here there must go forth "the spark which will prepare the world for his final coming" (cf. Diary, 1732). This spark needs to be lighted by the grace of God. This fire of mercy needs to be passed on to the world. In the mercy of God the world will find peace and mankind will find happiness! I entrust this task to you, dear Brothers and Sisters, to the Church in Kraków and Poland, and to all the votaries of Divine Mercy who will come here from Poland and from throughout the world. May you be witnesses to mercy!

To all those that help support the spreading of His Message of Mercy with prayers, talents, and finances, Jesus made another promise: “Souls who spread the honor of my Mercy I shield through their entire lives as a tender mother her infant, and at the hour of death I will not be a Judge for them, but the Merciful Savior. At that last hour, a soul has nothing with which to defend itself except My mercy. Happy is the soul that during its lifetime immersed itself in the Fountain of Mercy, because justice will have no hold on it." (1075)

God bless you, and pray for us!

The Sacrifice is Greater!

Diary entry 394:
During the renewal of the vows, I saw the Lord Jesus on the Epistle side [of the altar], wearing a white garment with a golden belt and holding a terrible sword in His hand. This lasted until the moment when the sisters began to renew their vows. Then I saw a resplendence beyond compare and, in front of this brilliance, a white cloud in the shape of a scale. Then Jesus approached and put the sword on one side of the scale, and it fell heavily towards the ground until it was about to touch it. Just then, the sisters finished renewing their vows. Then I saw Angels who took something from each of the sisters and placed it in a golden vessel somewhat in the shape of a thurible. When they had collected it from all the sisters and placed the vessel on the other side of the scale, it immediately outweighed and raised up the side on which the sword had been laid. At that moment, a flame issued forth from the thurible, and it reached all the way to the brilliance. Then I heard a voice coming from the brilliance: Put the sword back in its place; the sacrifice is greater. Then Jesus gave us His blessing, and all I had seen vanished. The sisters had already begun to receive Holy Communion. When I received Holy Communion, my soul was filled with such great joy that I am unable to describe it.

It is my great desire that somehow we will be able, by our lives and sacrifices, to weigh the scales of God's justice in favor of His Mercy. This is why this film is so important. People cannot turn to God's Mercy unless they know about it. We must give the world the opportunity to hear about God's message of Mercy which He gave to Faustina to tell the world about, so that the world may finally have peace.

"Mankind will not have peace until it turns with trust to My mercy." (300)
