Divine Mercy Sunday

“Jesus said to St. Faustina one day:  ‘Humanity will never find peace until it turns with trust to Divine Mercy’ (Diary, p. 132).  Divine Mercy! This is the Easter gift that the Church receives from the risen Christ and offers to humanity at the dawn of the third millennium.” 

  — St. John Paul II

A plenary indulgence is granted on the Second Sunday of Easter or Divine Mercy Sunday under the usual conditions: 

     Sacramental Confession, Eucharistic Communion and prayer for the                                        intentions of the Holy Father 

to the faithful who, in any church or chapel, take part in the prayers and devotions held in honor of Divine Mercy, 

or who, in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament exposed or reserved in the tabernacle, recite the Our Father and the Creed, adding a devout prayer to the merciful Lord Jesus (e.g. Merciful Jesus, I trust in you!).
