Divine Mercy Sunday

A special invitation is extended to you to join us in experiencing the incredible graces associated with Divine Mercy Sunday, a devotion revealed to the world through Saint Faustina after the apparition of Jesus to her on February 22, 1931. As recorded in Saint Faustina’s Diary, the Lord promised that those who approach the sacraments with trust may receive the complete forgiveness of sins and the healing of the effects of sin and the need for purification after forgiveness by receiving Holy Communion on Divine Mercy Sunday (in a state of grace) and celebrating the Sacrament of Reconciliation during Lent through Divine Mercy Sunday. You may also prepare your heart more deeply by praying the Divine Mercy Novena, which begins on Good Friday and concludes on the day before Divine Mercy Sunday, as Jesus requested on Good Friday in 1937 (Diary 1209).

Jesus' words to St. Faustina:

"My daughter, tell the whole world about my inconceivable mercy. I desire that the Feast of Mercy be a refuge and shelter for all souls, and especially for poor sinners. On that day the very depths of My tender mercy are open. I pour out a whole ocean of graces upon those souls who approach the fount of My mercy. The soul that will go to Confession and receive Holy Communion shall obtain complete forgiveness of sins and punishment. On that day all the divine floodgates through which graces flow are opened. Let no soul fear to draw near to Me, even though its sins be as scarlet. My mercy is so great that no mind, be it of man or of angel, will be able to fathom it throughout all eternity. Everything that exists has come forth from the very depths of My most tender mercy. Every soul in its relation to Me will contemplate My love and mercy throughout eternity. The Feast of Mercy emerged from My very depths of tenderness. It is My desire that it be solemnly celebrated on the first Sunday after Easter. Mankind will not have peace until it turns to the Fount of My Mercy."(Diary of St. Faustina Kowalska, # 699)
