On September 13, 1953, Saint Faustina wrote: I saw an Angel who was the executor of God’s wrath… Her own prayers were without power to hold back a terrible punishment, until the Holy Trinity was suddenly manifested to her. I began to pray earnestly to God for the world with words heard internally.
As St. Faustina kept repeating the inspired prayer the Angel became powerless to carry out the ordained punishment. The next day, as she was entering the chapel, St. Faustina received instructions from the voice within her regarding the manner in which she was to recite the prayer she heard. She also received these revelations concerning the prayer she was told to recite on ordinary rosary beads.

Whoever will recite it will receive great mercy at the hour of death… Priests will recommend it to sinners as a last hope of salvation.
