What is Divine Mercy Sunday?
In 1931, Jesus appeared to Sr. Faustina in Poland and expressed his desire for a feast celebrating his mercy. The Feast of Mercy was to be on the Sunday after Easter.
The Chaplet of Divine Mercy
St. Faustina wrote that Jesus said to her, “At the hour of their death, I defend as My own glory every soul that will say this chaplet; or when others say it for a dying person “ (Divine Mercy in My Soul, no. 811).
The Divine Mercy Chaplet will be prayed in St. Mary’s Chapel on Sunday, April 27:
10:00 AM - English
11:00 AM - English
12:00 PM - Spanish
We will also have confessions from 9:30 AM - 12:30 PM.
Plenary Indulgences are available:
The Church has made Divine Mercy Sunday an occasion for receiving a plenary indulgence, “the remission before God of the temporal punishment due to sin whose guilt has already been forgiven” (CCC, no. 1471). The plenary indulgence is granted to the faithful under the usual conditions: (Confession, Eucharist, prayer for the intentions of the Pope, and complete detachment from sin, even venial sin). The faithful may either take part in the prayers and devotions held in honor of Divine Mercy in any church or chapel or recite the Our Father and Creed in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament exposed or reserved in the tabernacle, adding a devout prayer to the merciful Lord Jesus.
