DIVINE MERCYSUNDAY MASS

APRIL 23rd at 2:30PM Benediction and Chaplet of Divine Mercy

Immediately following Mass

On this day a PLENARY INDULGENCE is granted (under the usual conditions of a sacramental confession, Eucharistic communion and a prayer for the intentions of the Supreme Pontiff) to the faithful who, on Divine Mercy Sunday, in any church or chapel, in a spirit that is completely detached from the affection for a sin, even a venial sin, 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 taber-nacle, recite the Our Father and the Creed, adding a devout prayer to the merciful Lord Jesus (e.g. Merciful Jesus, I trust in you) (The full text of the decree of the Apostolic Penitentiary may be found at: www.divinemercy.org)

We received the message and devotion to Jesus as The Divine Mercy through the writings of a young Polish nun. Her spiritual director told her to record the revelations that she received about God's mercy. The desires and promises of Our Lord are recorded in the diary of Saint Faustina Kowalska. This Feast, was granted to the Universal Church by Pope John Paul II on the occasion of the canonization of Sr. Faustina on April 30, 2000.

(Diary, 699) 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…

To observe the Feast of Divine Mercy, we should:

Beginning on Good Friday Say Each Day: The Novena to the Divine Mercy –there is an intention for each day

The Divine Mercy Chaplet—It is said using the Rosary Celebrate the Feast on the Sunday after Easter

Sincerely repent of our sins: Place our complete trust in Jesus

Go to Confession (3 weeks or 20 days before or after Divine Mercy Sunday)

Receive Holy Communion on the day of the Feast

Venerate (an act/gesture of deep respect) the image of Divine Mercy

Say the prayers required for the Plenary Indulgence as stated above.

Be merciful to others in our actions, words and prayers for them.

For more information: www.divinemercy.org , ww.ewtn.com Para observar la Fiesta de la Divina, Misericordia, debemos: Comenzando el Viernes Santo Diga cada día:

Novena a la Divina Misericordia -Hay una intención para cada día La Coronilla de la Divina Misericordia—Se dice usando el Rosario Celebrar la Fiesta el Domingo después del Pascua Arrepentir sinceramente de nuestros pecados: Poner nuestra confian-za entera en Jesús

Confesar (3 semanas o 20 días antes o después del Domingo de la Divina Misericordia)

Recibir la Comunión Santa en el día de la Fiesta

Hacer un acto de la veneración al imagen de la Divina Misericordia

Ofrecer las oraciones requeridas para recibir las Indulgencias Plenarias: Padre Nuestro, El Credo, y Jesus, en Ti Confío

Ser misericordioso a todos en nuestra conducta, palabras, y oraciones.
