To fittingly observe Divine Mercy Sunday, we should precede the feast by a nine-day novena of reciting the Divine Mercy Chaplet, beginning on Good Friday (privately said).
“The sould that will go to Confession and receive Holy Communion shall obtain complete forgiveness of sins and punishment.” (Diary 699)
Jesus said to Saint Faustina: “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. I desire that the Feast of Mercy be a refuge and a shelter for all souls, and especially for poor sinners. On that day, the very depths of My mercy are open. I pour out a whole ocean of graces upon those souls who approach the fount of My mercy.” (Diary 699)
“My Heart rejoices in this feast - On that day are open all the divine floodgates through which graces flow.” (Diary 998, 699)
Jesus asked Saint Faustina: “Gather all sinners from the entire world and immerse them in the abyss of My mercy...On the day of my feast, theFeast of Mercy, you will go through the whole world and bring fainting souls to the spring of My mercy. I shall heal and strengthen them.” (Diary206)
“From the divine mercy, which brings peace to hearts, genuine peace flows into the world, peace between different peoples, cultures and religions...” Pope Benedict XVI 30 March 2008
For Divine Mercy Sunday, remember to reflect on our sins, repent of our sins, receive the mercy of God and respond to the graces which flow from your Reconciliation with God.
