Divine Mercy Sunday: This coming Sunday, April 22, the Sunday after Easter, is Divine Mercy Sunday. Not too much is known by most churchgoers about Divine Mercy Sunday. Here is a very brief overview: Jesus' promise to St. Faustina: Let no one be afraid to come to Him even though his sins be as scarlet for His Divine Mercy. All liturgy that I have been able to find out has been changed to the Mass for Divine Mercy this Sunday. This is because of the canonization of Sister Faustina. Requirements are to go to confession so that you are in the state of grace, Mass, and receive Communion and with complete trust in Jesus's mercy. All sins and punishment for sins will be forgiven and forgotten. Your soul will be as clean as the day of baptism. There is also a novena starting from Good Friday. Rather than attempt to list a lot of websites with more information on this subject and all the particulars, I suggest that you simply type (or cut and paste) this URL into your browser: http://www.google.com Then type in this combination of 3 search words: divine mercy sunday You'll be amazed at what you will find!
