Summary/Abstract: The author of the article refers to the notion of the Divine Mercy as understood by sister Faustina Kowalska. Due to the fact that there is a problem with defining the term of the Divine Mercy, at the beginning of the article the author attempts to interpret the message to priests included in the “Diary” by saint Faustina. Then he presents his own experience with his priestly service to patients in the Central Clinical Hospital of the Medical University in Warsaw. The third part of the article is a theological analysis of the term “Divine Mercy” in the “Diary” by saint Faustina.
