Diary: Divine Mercy in My Soul, Maria Faustina Kowalska's own spiritual diary recorded through 1938, records her reported visions underlying the Roman Catholic Divine Mercy devotion. Its strength is that it is the primary devotional text itself, in the visionary's own words. Its limit is that it is a first person devotional account of private visions, not independent theological or historical analysis, so a claim about the devotion's later Church reception should be checked against separate sources.
