The correct Divine Mercy Image should have "Jesus I Trust in You" inscribed on it.

THE CHAPLET

In 1933, God gave Sister Faustina a striking vision of His Mercy. Sister tells us: "I saw a great light, with God the Father in the midst of it. Between this light and the earth I saw Jesus nailed to the Cross and in such a way that God, wanting to look through Our Lord's wounds. And I understand that God blessed the earth for the sake of Jesus." Of another vision on September 13th, 1935, she writes: I saw an Angel, the executor of God's wrath... about to strike the earth... I began to beg God earnestly for the world with words which I heard interiorly. As I prayed in this way, I saw the Angel's helplessness, and he could not carry out the just punishment...

The Lord said to Sister Faustina:  You will recite this caplet on the beads of the Rosary in the following manner:

First of all you will say one OUR FATHER, one HAIL MARY, and the I BELIEVE IN GOD".

Then on the OUR FATHER BEADS you will say the following words: 
Eternal Father,
I offer You the Body and Blood,
Soul and Divinity
of Your dearly beloved Son, 
Our Lord Jesus Christ,
in atonement for our sins
and those of the whole world.

On the HAIL MARY BEADS you will say the following words:
For the sake of His Sorrowful Passion have mercy on us and on the whole world.

In conclusion after the five decades you will say three times: 
Holy God, Holy Mighty One, 
Holy Immortal One, 
have mercy on us and on the whole world.

(It is the Chaplet that is used as a Novena beginning on Good Friday in preparation for the Feast of Mercy.)

On February 22, 1931, Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ appeared to this simple nun, bringing with Him a wonderful message of Mercy for all mankind.  Sister Faustina tells us in her diary under this date: "In the evening, when I was in my cell, I became aware of the Lord Jesus clothed in a white garment.  One hand was raised in blessing, the other was touching the garment at the breast. From the opening in the garment at the breast there came forth two large rays, one red, and the other pale. In silence I gazed intently at the Lord; my soul was overwhelmed with fear, but also with great joy. After a while Jesus said to me: 'paint an image according to the pattern you see, with the inscription: Jesus, I trust in You.'" Some time later, Our Lord again spoke to her: "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 depths of My most tender Mercy at that time when My agonizing Heart was opened by lance on the Cross...  Fortunate is the one who will dwell in their shelter, for the just hand of God shall not lay hold of him."

As a further sign of His forgiving love, Jesus called for a Feast of the Divine Mercy to be celebrated in the whole Church. He said to Sister Faustina: "I want this image to be solemnly blessed on the first Sunday after Easter; that Sunday is to the Feast of Mercy.  On that day, the depths of My Mercy will be open to all.  Whoever will go to confession and Holy Communion on that day will receive complete forgiveness of sin and punishment. Mankind will not enjoy peace until it turns with confidence to My Mercy." 

Jesus further asked that this Feast of the Divine Mercy be preceded by a Novena to the Divine Mercy which would begin on Good Friday.  He gave her an intention to pray for on each day of the Novena, saving for the last day the most difficult intention of all, the luke-warm and indiffent of whom He said: "These souls cause Me more suffering than any others; it was from such souls that My soul felt the most revulsion in the Garden of Olives. It was on their account that I said: 'My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass Me by.' The last hope of salvation for them is to flee to My Mercy."
