4 Situated on 375 acres known as Eden Hill, the Shrine is owned and administered by the Marian Fathers of the Immaculate Conception. The artwork and relics throughout the Shrine express two key elements of the identity and mission of the Marians —the Immaculate Conception and Divine Mercy. One of the central features of the Shrine is the Divine Mercy Image, which, through St. Maria Faustina Kowalska, Jesus Himself requested to be painted, spread, and venerated throughout the world. Jesus declared, “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). Jesus promised that the soul who venerates this image will not perish, adding, “I Myself will defend it as My own glory” (48). Y ou are making a journey to a sacred place — the National Shrine of The Divine Mercy in Stockbridge, Massachusetts.
