Divine Mercy Sunday

Saint Faustina's Diary (Divine Mercy in My Soul), contains at least 14 passages in which Our Lord is quoted as requesting that a "Feast of Mercy" be officially established in the Church. Pope John Paul II officially instituted the Feast of Divine Mercy to be celebrated annually on the first Sunday after Easter. The preparation for the Feast is to be a novena consisting of the recitation of the Divine Mercy chaplet for 9 days, beginning on Good Friday. Jesus said, "By this novena, I will grant every possible grace to souls." (Diary 796) The Cardinal of Kracow presented this devotion to the world in 1978. Shortly after, he became Pope John Paul II. For more information on the Divine Mercy devotion given to St. Faustina by Jesus, and how you can prepare for it Click Here.
