Yes, the blue (pale) rays represent the water that came from the heart of Jesus.

The red rays represent the blood that came from the heart of Jesus.

Truly a wonderful image, isn’t it?

Peace be with you.

That is a very good point -- the suffering that people will be going through for the faith.

I was surprised there was no wind at the Mass -- given the conditions -- that seemed a blessing from God.

Gusty winds might have injured the faithful (umbrellas flying loose).

Suffering is good for the soul!

God bless!

Apologies for my late answer. No, it did not mention this because the program was made while Pope John Paul II was still living.

The Divine Mercy Image

Jesus said to St. Faustina:

• 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 [its] enemies already here on earth, especially at the hour of death.  I Myself will defend it as My own glory. (Diary, 47-48, February 22, 1931)
• The two rays denote Blood and Water.  The pale ray stands for the Water which makes souls righteous.  The red ray stands for the Blood which is the life of souls...  These two rays issued forth from the very depths of My tender mercy when My agonized Heart was opened by a lance on the Cross.  These rays shield souls from the wrath of My Father.  Happy is the one who will dwell in their shelter, for the just hand of God shall not lay hold of him. (Diary, 299)
• I am offering people a vessel with which they are to keep coming for graces to the fountain of mercy.  That vessel is this image with the signature:  "Jesus, I trust in You." (Diary, 327)
• By means of this Image I shall be granting many graces to souls; so let every soul have access to it. (Diary, 570)

Here are 3 very nice Divine Mercy Desktop Images that are available to all.

I see what you are saying about "color."  But, I think that some of it depends on the background color.  Look at the image that Salvation posted on this page in #2.  It has a dark background and a very light color blue would show up nice, but with a light colored background you may not see a very light color blue.

The original in Poland has a dark background.

Today, April 18, 2007, is the 14th anniversary of the Beatification of (now Saint) Faustina.

Maybe she had a hand in the Supreme Court vote today in the 5-4 prolife victory and victory for unborn babies? It has happened on the anniversary of date of her beatification...

SCOTUS Kennedy had previously been a dissenter on the PBA Ban (previously had been for retaining PBA -- partial birth abortion).

But he is part of the Catholic group of SCOTUS that have been going to Mass together -- Thomas, Scalia, Roberts, Alito.

There is a lot of joy in heaven over this SCOTUS decision as well as here on earth.

**There is a lot of joy in heaven over this SCOTUS decision as well as here on earth.**

Amen!
