Paperback: Mercy is the flower of love, God is love, and mercy is His deed, in love it is conceived, in mercy it is revealed. - Diary of St Faustina, 651.
St Faustina and Blessed Michael Sopoćko, two lives inextricably linked in bringing the message of Divine Mercy to the world.
St Faustina was the visionary and recipient of the revelations, chosen by God for her boundless faith.
Blessed Sopoćko was the messenger, chosen by God for his extraordinary holiness and intellect and the ability to bring these revelations to the attention of the Church and the world.
Endless Mercy is an attempt to follow the spiritual life of Fr Michael Sopoćko starting from his childhood, through the rich history of his priestly life, reaching a culmination of Christian perfection. This book is not expected to be capable of revealing all his characteristics, but rather is an attempt to present his extraordinary life, hopefully catching a glimpse of the wonder spirit of the man that was Fr Michael Sopoćko. Another great source about Fr Sopoćko has been the records of his conferences and studies on the Divine Mercy and on the theology of spiritual life. This book is also compiled from some of the memories of people who knew him personally, and other biographical sources.
Endless Mercy was first published in 2013 by Divine Mercy Publications in Co Dublin, Ireland. More information can be obtained from www.divinemercy.org
