Thank you very much for posting those beautiful images of the Divine Mercy!

Paint an image according to the pattern you see, with the signature: Jesus, I trust in You. I desire that this image be venerated, first in your chapel, and [then] throughout the world. I promise that the soul that will venerate this image will not perish. I also promise victory over enemies already here on earth, especially at the hour of death. I myself will defend it as My own glory. (47-8)

Once when I was visiting the artist who was painting the image, and saw that it was not as beautiful as Jesus is, I felt very sad about it, but I hid this deep in my heart. When we had left the artist's house....I went ...to the chapel and wept a good deal. I said to the Lord, "Who will paint You as beautiful as You are?" Then I heard these words: Not in the beauty of the colour, nor of the brush lies the greatness of this image, but in My grace." (313)

The image bears a strong resemblance to that of the Sacred Heart. Recent studies have also shown the image resembles that on the Shroud of Turin.

Here is one web site I treasure. Enjoy!
