Divine Mercy T-shirt
Divine Mercy Scriptural T-shirt
The Divine Mercy t-shirt is a popular piece of Catholic devotional apparel that features the image of Jesus Christ as revealed to Saint Maria Faustina Kowalska in 1931. These shirts typically depict Jesus in a white robe with two rays—one red and one pale—emanating from His heart, symbolizing the blood and water that flowed from His side during the Crucifixion. Most designs include the signature inscription, "Jesus, I Trust in You," which was a specific instruction given by Christ to St. Faustina to be placed on the image.
The design of these shirts is deeply rooted in Catholic theology. The red ray represents the blood of Christ, which is the life of souls, while the pale ray represents the water that makes souls righteous; these are further associated with the sacraments of the Eucharist, Baptism, and Confession. Retailers often design these items to serve as "Sacred Ordinary" objects, intended to bring faith into daily life and act as a tool for evangelization and a reminder of God's fundamental mission of salvation.
