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. I desire that the first Sunday after Easter be the Feast of Mercy.

primary colours.. of life. This image is prominent even in the FSSP parish in Vancouver.. as well as my local parish. I note this only in that the (Latin Sacrament) FSSP is amongst the most orthodox and traditional of all Catholic Orders.. and given the initial reluctance by conservatives to accept St. Faustina as an authentic visionary.. that is certainly a sign of the influential position she has assumed in the modern Church.

Re: ? a Dr.
I've come to think of that as inevitable, Joe... no other cleric in the 20th Century has developed such a widespread devotional following.josephw wrote:Karl

Doctors of the Church are not always intellectuals and scholars. St. Therese of Lisieux was someone of limited academic background.. the criteria is the power and clarity of the revelation. The Lord works in mysterious ways.
Of course it can take centuries for a Doctor to be named.. but i think i've already heard senior prelates mention her as a worthy candidate.
