Divine Mercy is rooted in the understanding of God's love as a response to human suffering and sin. It is described as God's love reaching down to meet the needs and overcome the miseries of His creatures. The concept is deeply embedded in Scripture, where mercy is portrayed as a fundamental attribute of God. Pope John Paul II emphasized that "mercy is love's second name," highlighting its essential role in the Christian faith.
