The Court Jester jingled when he walked, not only from the bells on his hat but also from the coins in his pouch. He was a hilarious performer and a sly pickpocket. After following the Jester through his adventurous life of jolly thievery, we behold the distress of a soul who realizes how one's misdeeds impact others. In the height of this sorrow, we encounter the great power of mercy ministered by a knight whose king is truly the King of Mercy. The Jester is transformed before the reader mercifully and gloriously changed. Based on entry nos. 1448 and 1507 of the Diary of St. Faustina, The Crooked Court Jester and the Last Knight brings the Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick to life. It reveals the powerful spiritual healing of repentance, confession, and the anointing, all gifts of the King of Mercy.
