DIVINE MERCY SUNDAY - April 3rd

Divine Mercy Ministry - What Are the Extraordinary Graces of Divine Mercy Sunday?

In the Diary of St. Faustina, Jesus constantly mentions the great importance of The Feast of Mercy and the extraordinary graces He will grant: 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. The soul that will go to Confession and receive Holy Communion will obtain complete forgiveness of sins and punishment. (Diary #699)

No soul will be justified until it turns with confidence to My mercy, and this is why the first Sunday after Easter is to be the Feast of Mercy. (Diary #570)

Not only are we completely forgiven by God, but we receive many additional extraordinary graces. I pour out a whole ocean of graces upon those souls who approach the fount of My Mercy. This is a day of miracles. Ask and you shall receive. Knock and the door will be open to you. The Lord always gives in abundance.
