St. Faustina Kowalska
Saint Faustina Kowalska is known for promoting devotion to the Divine Mercy, which emphasizes God's merciful love and the opportunity for sinners to seek repentance and forgiveness. She experienced visions of Jesus, who instructed her to spread the message of Divine Mercy to the world.
From the diary of a young Polish nun, a special devotion began spreading throughout the world in the 1930s. The message is nothing new, but is a reminder of what the Church has always taught through scripture and tradition: that God is merciful and forgiving and that we, too, must show mercy and forgiveness. But in the Divine Mercy devotion, the message takes on a powerful new focus, calling people to a deeper understanding that God's love is unlimited and available to everyone - especially the greatest sinners. The message and devotion to Jesus as The Divine Mercy is based on the writings of Saint Faustina Kowalska, an uneducated Polish nun who, in obedience to her spiritual director, wrote a diary of about 600 pages recording the revelations she received about God's mercy. Even before her death in 1938, the devotion to The Divine Mercy had begun to spread. For more information, visit http://www.ewtn.com/Devotionals/mercy/dmmap.htm

Divine Mercy Sunday is a Roman Catholic solemnity celebrated on the Sunday after Easter, the Octave of Easter. It is originally based on the Catholic devotion to the Divine Mercy that Saint Faustina Kowalska reported as part of her encounter with Jesus, and is associated with special promises from Jesus and indulgences issued by the Church.
Jesus appeared to Saint Faustina multiple times, starting in 1931. The most notable appearance was on February 22, 1931, when Jesus first appeared to her in a vision as the "King of Divine Mercy." He continued to appear to her over the following years, revealing the message and devotion of Divine Mercy.

Saint Matthew is considered a divine figure in Christianity because he was one of Jesus's twelve apostles, chosen by Jesus himself to spread his teachings. He is the author of the Gospel of Matthew, one of the four Gospels in the New Testament that recount the life and teachings of Jesus. It is believed that Saint Matthew was inspired and guided by the Holy Spirit in writing his Gospel, making his work divinely inspired.
