THE FEAST OF DIVINE MERCY

This novena can be made at any time, but Our Lord especially wished that it be made beginning Good Friday in preparation for a feast He was to tell her about: the Feast of His Mercy, which should be celebrated on the first Sunday after Easter. “My daughter, tell the whole world about My inconceivable mercy. I desire that the feast of mercy be a refuge and shelter for all souls, and especially for poor sinners. On that day the very depths of My tender mercy are open. I pour out a whole ocean of graces upon those souls who approach the fount of My mercy. The soul that will go to Confession and receive Holy Communion shall obtain complete forgiveness of sins and punishment. 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. My mercy is so great that no mind, be it of man or angel, will be able to fathom it throughout all eternity. Everything that exists has come forth from the very depths of My most tender mercy. Every soul in its relation to Me will contemplate My love and mercy throughout eternity. The Feast of Mercy emerged from My very depths of tenderness. It is My desire that it be solemnly celebrated on the first Sunday after Easter. Mankind will not have peace until it turns to the Fount of My Mercy.” (699)

At the direction of Pope John Paul II, in 2000 the Holy See established the Sunday after Easter as Divine Mercy Sunday for the Universal Church (decree signed May 5, 2000).

Exhorting all to hasten to Him before it is too late, Our Lord says, “Write: before I come as a just Judge, I first open wide the door of My mercy. He who refuses to pass through the door of My mercy must pass through the door of My justice.” (1146)

Then He permitted her to see the enormity of man’s sins. She was frightened at their hideousness, and asked God how He could suffer such terrible insults. “I have eternity for punishing [these], and so I am prolonging the time of mercy for the sake of sinners. But woe to them if they do not recognize this time of My visitation. My daughter, secretary of My mercy, your duty is not only to write about and proclaim My mercy, but also to beg for this grace for them, so that they too may glorify My mercy.” (1160).

Another time He said, “The flames of mercy are burning Me. I desire to pour them out upon human souls. Oh, what pain they cause Me when they do not want to accept them!” (1074)

JESUS SAID

My daughter, tell the whole world about My inconceivable mercy. I desire that the Feast of Mercy be a refuge and shelter for all souls, and especially for poor sinners. On that day the very depths of My tender mercy are open.

GOD BLESS YOU
