Why Catholics Celebrate Divine Mercy Sunday

On the Second Sunday of Easter of the Julibee Year 2000, at the Mass for the canonization of St. Faustina Kowalski,

Pope John Paul II proclaimed to the world that “from now on throughout the Church this Sunday will be called Divine Mercy Sunday.” The message and devotion to Jesus as The Divine Mercy is based on the writings of St. Faustina and began spreading throughout the world in the 1930’s. In his 1980 encyclical on God’s mercy, Rich in Mercy, Pope John Paul developed a scriptural and doctrinal basis for our faith in the mercy of God. By linking the revealed truth about God’s mercy to one of the most solemn Sundays after Easter, itself, he illumined the fact that the liturgy already proclaimed the divine mercy. In Psalm 118 we sing three times, “His mercy endures forever.” In the Gospel from John 20:19-31, Jesus gives the apostles the power of God’s mercy for the sinner, the gift of forgiving sins from God’s treasury of mercy. “Receive the Holy Spirit. Whose sins you forgive are forgiven them.” Come join us on Divine Mercy Sunday, April 23rd @ 2 p.m. for Holy Hour with the Blessed Sacrament followed by with the Chaplet of Divine Mercy Devotion to be prayed @ 3 p.m. in the presence of the Eucharist. Benediction will follow.
