Fr John Message for Divine Mercy Sunday 11 April 2021

Dear Friends,

I hope and pray your Easter was one of many blessings and filled with the Risen Peace of Jesus!

The Diary of Saint Faustina calls us to a new form of devotion in various ways.  The second way is through the celebration of Divine Mercy Sunday.  Jesus told Saint Faustina that He desired an annual solemn Feast of  Mercy. This Solemnity of Divine Mercy was established as a universal celebration on the eighth day of the Octave of Easter. On that day the floodgates of Mercy are opened and many souls are made holy. Plan on making this solemn feast a day of great celebration this coming year.  Begin, today, looking forward to this culminating Feast of Mercy!  Reflect upon the fact that the mere institution of such a solemn feast is a powerful sign of the desire in the Heart of God to pour down His Mercy upon us.

Today our Church turns is attention to the Ocean of God’s MERCY!

‘DIVINE MERCY SUNDAY’

Wherever you may be today at 3.00pm tune into the Divine Mercy Chaplet and pray this simple but most beautiful powerful prayer asking for God to bestow his abundant ocean of Mercy upon us.
