Divine Mercy Sunday calls us to remember the boundless love and endless mercy of our Lord.

Our Lord revealed himself to a Polish nun,
Sister Faustina Kowalska in 1931 saying:

 “ Mankind will not have peace,” He said, “until it turns with trust to My mercy…
Proclaim that mercy is the greatest attribute of God.”
 
In 2000, St. John Paul the Great canonized
St. Faustina and the second Sunday of Easter was established as Divine Mercy Sunday.
 
“Divine Mercy reaches human beings from
 the Heart of Christ crucified…Today, fixing our gaze…
on the face of the Risen Christ,
 let us make our own…prayer of trusting abandonment
and say with firm hope:
‘Jesus, I trust in You!’” ~ St. John Paul the Great

St. John Paul the Great granted the faithful
a plenary indulgence for:
- reception of the Sacrament of Reconciliation
- reception of the Eucharist
- prayer for the intentions of the Holy Father
- participating in public devotions to the Divine Mercy
