Abstract

Manuscripts of the Servant of God sister Benigna Konsolata Ferrero, carefully studied by her confessor, Father Luigi Boccardo, were printed shortly after her death. Even though she already bore the title of “Apostle of Mercy,” no one at that time could have guessed that she would become one of the earliest precursors of the Divine Mercy. One of the first to discover the character of Sr. Benigna Konsolata was Father Michal (Michael) Sopoćko, the confessor of Saint Sister Faustina Kowalska. Already knowing the message of his penitent, he revealed the similarities between the  two messages. The purpose of the message dictated to  the  Servant of God is  devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and  reveals His  greatest attribute, which is the Mercy of God.
