Dust with a dry, soft cloth, and a dry soft brush for the folds and the face. For a mark, a barely damp cloth and nothing else — solvents, scouring creams and household sprays lift hand-painted detail and it cannot be repainted to match. Keep it out of long direct sunlight, which fades the colours over the years. Made for indoors. If you want this figure for a garden or a grotto, ask us — pieces meant to stand outside are finished differently.

About this piece
The Divine Mercy figure — the right hand raised in blessing, the left at the breast, and the two rays, pale and red, falling from it. Hand-painted resin at 70 and 80 cm, and at 100 cm in a glitter finish.
St Faustina Kowalska, a Polish sister, recorded in 1931 a vision of Christ in a white garment with two rays coming from his heart, and was told to have it painted with the words “Jesus, I trust in You” beneath. She was told the pale ray stands for the water that makes souls righteous and the red for the blood that is their life. The Sunday after Easter is now kept as Divine Mercy Sunday.
The devotion
The Divine Mercy is lived through a handful of simple practices: the chaplet prayed on ordinary rosary beads, the Hour of Mercy at three in the afternoon when Christ died, and the novena that begins on Good Friday and leads to Divine Mercy Sunday, the Sunday after Easter. The image is meant to be prayed before during all of them, with the words “Jesus, I trust in You” beneath it.
In Ireland the devotion has grown quickly, not least through the Polish community, who brought St Faustina’s own Kraków devotion with them. Many Irish parishes now keep Divine Mercy Sunday with the chaplet sung in the afternoon. St Faustina’s own feast is 5 October.
Where it suits
Painted, the figure carries the two rays in their proper colours, pale and red, which is the point of the image — the colours are part of what St Faustina was asked to have shown. That makes the resin the figure for a home prayer corner, a bedroom where someone is ill, or a parish side altar indoors where the chaplet is prayed.
It is made for indoors. If the rays are near a sunny window, move it: long direct sunlight fades painted colour over the years.
Questions
- Is “Merciful Jesus” the same as the Divine Mercy?
- Yes. It is the image of the Divine Mercy as St Faustina described it, with the pale and red rays; we list the painted resin as Merciful Jesus and the marble carving as The Divine Mercy.
- Does it have the words “Jesus, I trust in You”?
- Look at the photographs on this page — they show the piece itself. If you need a detail confirmed before you buy, ask us and we will check the statue.
- Is it suitable for outdoors?
- No, it is made for indoors. For a garden shrine the marble Divine Mercy is carved for outdoors.
- How is it delivered?
- Hand-painted resin is posted to any address in Ireland at one flat rate per order, however many pieces are in it, and you get a tracking link by email when it leaves us.
