The Sunday after Easter is Divine Mercy Sunday!

How should we prepare for this great Feast of Mercy?

Jesus told St. Faustina that this Feast of Mercy would be a very special day when “all the divine floodgates through which graces flow are opened”. (Diary 699) Our Lord made a great promise to all those souls who would go to Confession and then receive Him in Holy Communion on the Feast of His Mercy, now called Divine Mercy Sunday throughout the Catholic Church. Jesus promised that “The soul that will go to Confession and receive Holy Communion shall obtain the complete forgiveness of sins and punishment.”(Diary 699) He went on to say “ I want to grant a complete pardon to the souls that will go to Confession and receive Holy Communion on the Feast of My Mercy.” (Diary 1109)

We want to encourage everyone to take advantage of this incredible promise and the additional Plenary Indulgence on this great Feast of Mercy “Divine Mercy Sunday”. We want you to benefit fully from these promises, and we also want you to notify all of your family and friends about them too and urge them to return to the practice of their faith! The Image of The Divine Mercy, which Our Lord requested to be solemnly blessed and venerated on this day, will be on display in our church. Pope John Paul II said that the image portrays the Risen Jesus Christ bringing Mercy to the whole world. Our Lord said “I want the image to be solemnly blessed on the first Sunday after Easter, and I want it to be venerated publicly so that every soul may know about it. I promise that the soul that will venerate this image will not perish”. (Diary 341, 48) Please take the time to visit with this Image of The Divine Mercy and venerate Jesus. Jesus said to St. Faustina “I am offering people a vessel with which they are to keep coming for graces to the fountain of mercy. That vessel is this image with the signature: Jesus, I trust in You”. (Diary 327) “The two rays denote Blood and Water. The pale ray stands for the Water which makes souls righteous. The red ray stands for the Blood which is the life of souls. These two rays issued forth from the very depths of My tender mercy when My agonized Heart was opened by a lance on the cross. 6Happy is the one who will dwell in their shelter, for the just hand of God shall not lay hold of him.” (Diary 299) About the feastday “Divine Mercy Sunday”, Jesus said “6tell the whole world about My inconceivable mercy. I desire that the Feast of Mercy be a refuge and shelter for all souls, and especially poor sinners. On that day the very depths of My tender mercy are open. I pour out a whole ocean of graces upon the souls who approach the Fount of My Mercy. On that day all the divine floodgates through which graces flow are opened. Let no soul fear to draw near to Me, even though its sins be as scarlet.... Mankind will not have peace until it turns to the Fount of My Mercy”. (Diary 699) Our Lord said “When you go to confession, to this fountain of My mercy, the Blood and Water which came forth from My Heart always flows down upon your soul6” and “Every time you go to confession, immerse yourself entirely in My mercy with great trust, so that I may pour the bounty of My grace upon your soul. When you approach the confessional, know this, that I Myself am waiting there for you. I am only hidden by the priest, but I Myself act in your soul. Here the misery of the soul meets the God of mercy” (1602) Make your confession before Me. The person of the priest is6 only a screen. Never analyze what sort of a priest that I am making use of; open your soul in confession to Me, and I will fill it with My light.” (1725) It is required of all Catholics to confess their sins at least once every year. If you haven’t had the opportunity to meet this obligation then take advantage of this wonderful opportunity to receive an outpouring of an ocean of graces that Jesus promises. Those who have already confessed sins for Easter could make room for others. It is allowed for one to go to Confession up to about 20 days, before or after Divine Mercy Sunday.

El Domingo después de Pascua es Domingo de la Divina Misericordia ¿Cómo nos deberíamos preparar para esta gran Fiesta de la Misericordia?

Jesús le dijo a Santa Faustina que esta Fiesta de la Misericordia seria un día muy especial cuando “todas las compuertas a través de las cuales fluyen todas las gracias se abrirán.” (Diario 699) Nuestro Señor hizo una gran promesa a todos que las almas de todos los que se confiesen y lo reciban en la Santa Comunión durante la Fiesta de Su Misericordia, ahora llamada Domingo de la Divina Misericordia por toda la Iglesia Católica. Jesus prometió que “El alma que se confiese y reciba la santa comunión obtendrá el perdón completo de sus pecados y castigo” (Diario 699). Añadió “Quiero conceder un perdón completo a las almas que se confiesen y reciban la Santa Comunión en la Fiesta de Mi Misericordia.” (Diario 1109) Queremos animar a todos a que aprovechen esta increíble promesa, y adicionalmente la Indulgencia Plenaria en esta gran Fiesta del “Domingo de la Divina Misericordia.” Queremos que se beneficien completamente de estas promesas, y que la participen también a su familia y amigos, e instarles a que regresen a la práctica de su fe! La Imagen de la Divina Misericordia, que Nuestro Señor pidió fuera bendecida solemnemente y venerada en este día, estará en exhibición en nuestra Iglesia. El Papa Juan Pablo dice que la imagen muestra al Señor Jesucristo resucitado llevando Misericordia a todo el mundo. Nuestro Señor dijo “Quiero que la imagen sea bendecida solemnemente el primer domingo después de Pascua, y quiero que se venere públicamente para que cada alma lo sepa. Prometo que el alma que venere esta imagen no perecerá (Diario 341, 48). Por favor aprovechen el tiempo para visitar esta imagen de la Divina Misericordia y venerar a Jesús. Jesús dijo a Faustina: Les ofrezco un vaso con el que pueden seguir viniendo a recibir gracias a la fuente de la misericordia. Este vaso es la imagen con la firma “Jesús en ti confio” (Diario 327) “Los dos rayos denotan sangre y agua. El rayo pálido representa el agua que hace que las almas sean honradas. El rayo rojo representa la Sangre que es la vida de las almas. Estos dos rayos brotaron del fondo mismo de mi tierna misericordia cuando mi agonizante corazón fue traspasado por una lanza en la cruz. Bienaventurado sea el que viva en su abrigo, porque la mano justiciera de Dios no lo alcanzará. (Diario 299) Acerca de la fiesta del “Domingo de la Misericordia,“ Jesús dijoKdile a todo el mundo de mi inconcebible misericordia. Deseo que la Fiesta de la Misericordia sea un refugio y abrigo para todas las almas, y especialmente para los pobres pecadores. En ese dia el mismo fondo de Mi tierna misericordia estará abierto. Vertiré un océano completo de gracias sobre las almas que se acerquen a la Fuente de mi Misericordia. En ese dia todas las divinas compuertas de las cuales fluyen las gracias, estarán abiertas. Que ninguna alma tema acercarse a Mí, aunque sus pecados sean tan rojosKLa humanidad no tendrá paz hasta que vuelva a la Fuente de Mi Misericordia (Diario 699). Nuestro Señor dijo “Cuando te vayas a confesar, a esta fuente de mi Misericordia, la sangre y agua que brotaron de mi corazón siempre fluyen sobre tu almaK”y cada vez que vayas a confesarte, sumérgete enteramente en mi misericordia con gran confianza, para que pueda derramar la munificencia de Mí gracia sobre tu alma. Cuando te acercas al confesionario, sabe esto; que yo mismo estoy allí, esperándote. Estoy escondido por el sacerdote, pero yo mismo actúo en tu alma. Aquí la miseria del alma se encuentra con la Misericordia de Dios.” (1602). Confíesate conmigo. La persona del sacerdote es Ksolo una pantalla. Nunca analices la clase de sacerdote estoy usando; abre tu alma en tu confesión conmigo, y yo la llenaré con mi luz.” (1725). Se requiere que todas los católicos se confiesen cuando menos una vez al año. Si no has tenido la oportunidad de cumplir esta obligación, aprovecha esta maravillosa ocasión para recibir una effusion del océano de gracias que Jesús promete. Los que ya se hayan confesado antes de la Pascua, por favor dejen que otros lo hagan. Se permite confesarse hasta 20 dias antes o después del Domingo de la Divina Misericordia.
