Although The Divine Mercy message and devotion are central to understanding the charism and mission of St. Faustina, there are many other facets that constituted her spirituality. Authentic Christian spirituality embraces the whole of Christian life, including the ecclesial, liturgical, sacramental, and apostolic dimensions. One of the most important facets in her overall approach to the spiritual life was her love and devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary.

This dimension of her spirituality has often been overlooked due to the primary importance given to her charism and mission in spreading knowledge and devotion to Jesus as The Divine Mercy. Yet, the person of St. Faustina, a woman deeply rooted in the life of the Church, cannot be fully understood without reference to her devotion to the Virgin Mary.
