“Tell the whole world about about My inconceivable mercy. I desire that the Feast of Mercy be a refuge and shelter for all souls, and especially poor sinners. On that day the very depths of My tender Mercy are open. I pour out a whole ocean of graces upon the souls who approach the Fount of My Mercy.” ( Diary 699)
To fittingly observe the feast of Mercy we should: Celebrate the feast on the Sunday after Easter
Sincerely repent of all our sins
Place our complete trust in Jesus
Go to Confession, be in a state of grace
Receive Holy Communion on the day of the Feast
Venerate the Image of the Divine Mercy
Be Merciful to others, through our actions,words and prayers
Diary of St. Faustina, entry 699, Jesus promised to St. Faustina: "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."
The Divine Mercy Novena begins on Good Friday. Take a red pamphlet from the back of church.
