The Significance of Divine Mercy Sunday – National Shrine of …Divine Mercy in Catholicism is the unfathomable love and compassion God extends to sinners, described as “love’s second name” and God’s greatest attribute. Rooted in scripture and popularized by St. Faustina, it emphasizes trusting in Jesus to receive forgiveness, healing, and grace, particularly through the image, Chaplet, and Sunday devotion.
Key Aspects of Divine Mercy:
Definition: It is God’s love meeting human misery, brokenness, and sin. It is often defined as “loving the unlovable and forgiving the unforgivable”.
Core Message: God loves everyone, no matter how great their sin, and wants them to turn to Him with trust.
St. Faustina Kowalska: Jesus revealed this message to this Polish nun, calling her to be the “secretary of His mercy”.
The Image (Jesus I Trust in You): Jesus appeared with red and pale rays (representing blood and water from His side) flowing from His heart, symbolizing grace and mercy.
The Chaplet of Divine Mercy: A prayer for mercy, often said at 3:00 PM (the “Hour of Great Mercy”) to commemorate Christ’s death.
Divine Mercy Sunday: Celebrated on the Sunday after Easter, instituted by Pope John Paul II to offer a special plenary indulgence.
The devotion encourages trusting in Jesus’s mercy and extending that same mercy to others
