The message of Divine Mercy has become a subject of a numerous studies, taken up mostly from the perspective of Dogmatic Theology or Spiritual Theology. Yet, it seems that the matter of social interpretation of this message still remains widely open. Nevertheless, both The Diary and the encyclical letter Dives in misericordia by John Paul II, which was unquestionably inspired by the writings of St. Faustina, are far from interpreting mercy merely in an ascetic and individual dimension. Both texts distinctly encourage to broaden the social aspect of the interpretation of mercy as an element of the renewal of social life, which is the subject of this study.
