Happy Divine Mercy Sunday !
What is Divine Mercy Sunday you Ask?
It’s a feast day to celebrate Jesus’s Great Divine Mercy during the 50 day season of Easter.
Jesus appeared to Saint Faustina and showed her His divine mercy & told her to make a day in honor of his divine mercy the Sunday after Easter. Hence Divine Mercy Sunday Started. He told her to make a painting of Him exactly as He looked to her when He appeared to her. So she worked with a painter and had the painting made.
Image:
The Image is the Popular Divine Mercy Image of Jesus with the red and blue rays, that is commonly displayed at the front of churches on Divine Mercy Sunday. (Red and blue symbolizing the blood and water which gushed forth from the heart of Jesus as a fount of mercy for us. The image acts as a vessel for us to recieve His graces.) Jesus stated, "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'" (Diary, 327).
How to recieve an indulgence this day:
A indulgence can be gained for receiving communion on Sunday being in a state of grace, going to confession, and being completely sorry for your sins, pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet, & pray for the Pope’s intention.
Bible Quote of the Day:
Psalm 103-The Lord is Kind & Merciful
Jesus told St Faustina in her Diary to proclaim His mercy, and that it is like an ocean, far greater than human sin. Jesus told Faustina that Mercy is the greatest attribute of God.
His Promise to us:
“On that day... [w]hoever will go to Confession and receive Holy Communion on that day will receive complete forgiveness of sin and punishment"
Placing Our Trust in Jesus
Jesus made it known that His mercy is specially meant for those “most miserable souls” in need of His Mercy the Most.
He said "Let the weak, sinful soul have no fear to approach Me, for even if it had more sins than there are grains of sand in the world, all would be drowned in the unmeasurable depths of My mercy".
3 o clock Pm Mercy Hour
"As often as you hear the clock strike the third hour [3 PM], immerse yourself completely in My mercy... for at that moment mercy was opened wide for every soul".
Divine Mercy Chaplet
Jesus taught the Chaplet of Divine Mercy to be recited for forgiveness and for the dying, promising that "the greater the sinner, the greater the right he has to My mercy".
