Divine Mercy

Divine Mercy Sunday, April 7, 2023

Join us for our Divine Mercy Celebration on Sunday, April 7, with Holy Hour from 3:00 - 4:00 PM in the Commons with refreshments!

They Holy Hour will be in the main Church and includes Opening/Closing Benediction, Homily on Divine Mercy, Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, Recitation of the Chaplet of Divine Mercy.  All Parishioners are invited and encouraged and most welcome to attend.

Divine Mercy Sunday was officially decreed by the Vatican and declared both a Universal Feast Day and an opportunity for a Plenary Indulgence by St. John Paul II on April 30, 2000 at the Canonization of St. Maria Faustina Kowalska. St. Faustina received visions which stated that His Merciful Love is so great that no sinner, no matter how wretched, need fear to come to His Mercy. (Diary #723) Join us on Divine Mercy Sunday to celebrate His Great Mercy.

Plenary Indulgence

Leading up to Divine Mercy Sunday, we are invited to participate in the Plenary Indulgence of Divine Mercy, which offers forgiveness of sins and punishment for those who receive Holy Communion on that Sunday, go to Confession within 10 days of Divine Mercy Sunday, and pray for the intentions of the JHoly Father. More information on Indulgences can be found on the USCCB website.

The Divine Mercy Novena:

In her vision, Jesus gave St. Faustina the Chaplet of Divine Mercy as a prayer of atonement with nine intentions (to be prayed over 9 days) for the appeasement of God's wrath (Diary #474). Those who recite it offer to God "the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of [His] dearly beloved Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, in atonement for our sins and those of the whole world."

The 9-day Novena begins on Good Friday, April 7, and ends the Saturday before Divine Mercy Sunday, April 15. Paper guides are available in the commons.

I invite you this Lenten season to carve out a few extra minutes every week to be still before God in our Adoration Chapel. Yes, come with all your concerns and worries; come with all your hopes and desires; come with all your fears and unmet dreams; come with all your sin and what burdens you down; come as you are. But most importantly simply come with your heart. Place it all before Jesus present in the Blessed Sacrament. Quietly sit in His presence. Gaze upon Him as He tenderly gazes upon you.

In Christ,
Father Kevin Finnegan
