236. Probably Father M. Sopocko, because he was chiefly active in spreading the
devotion of The Divine Mercy and in efforts to found the new community; but Sister Faustina
may also have had in mind Father Andrasz or Mother Irene Krzyzanowska, because they,
too, made efforts to spread the devotion of The Divine Mercy.
