Friends for Jesus

didn't i hear somewhere that originally Jesus told St. Faustina to write something much longer at the base of the image? but it didn't fit so it was shortened to Jesus i trust in You.

I didn't see mention of this in her diary though

from St Faustina's Diary:
47 After a while, Jesus said to me, "Paint an image according to the pattern you see, with the signature: Jesus I trust in You. I desire that this image be venerated, first in your chapel and (then) throughout the world."

88 During adoration I felt God close to me. A moment later I saw Jesus and Mary. At the sight of them I was filled with joy, and I asked the Lord, "What is Your will Jesus, concerning the matter about which my confessor told me to ask You? Jesus replied, "It is My will that he should remain here and that he should not take the initiative of dispensing himself." I asked Jesus whether the inscription could be: "Christ King of Mercy." He answered, "I am King of Mercy," but he did not say "Christ". I desire that this image be displayed in public on the first Sunday after Easter. That Sunday is the Feast of Mercy. Through the Word Incarnate I make known the bottomless depths of My mercy."

327 Once, my confessor (Father Sopocko) asked me where the inscription should be placed, because there was not enough space in the picture for everything. I answered, "I will pray and give you an answer next week." When I left the confessional and was passing before the Blessed Sacrament, I received an inner understanding about the inscription. Jesus reminded me of what He had told me the first time; namely, that these three words must be clearly in evidence: "Jesus, I trust in You." ("Jezu, Unfam Tobie") I understood that Jesus wanted the whole formula to be there, but He gave no direct orders to this effect as He did for these three words.

"I am offering people a vessel with which they are to keep coming for graces to the fountain of mercy. That vessel is this image with the signature: 'Jesus, I trust in You."
