DIVINE MERCY SUNDAY APRIL 19,2020
WHAT IS THE DIVINE MERCY DEVOTION AND MESSAGE?
The message of The Divine Mercy is simple. It is that God loves us — all of us. And, He wants us to recognize that His mercy is greater than our sins, so that we will call upon Him with trust, receive His mercy, and let it flow through us to others. Thus, all will come to share His joy.
This message and devotion to Jesus as The Divine Mercy is based on the writings of Saint Faustina Kowalska, an uneducated Polish nun who, in obedience to her spiritual director, wrote a diary of about 600 pages, recording the revelations she received about God's mercy. Even before her death in 1938, the devotion to The Divine Mercy had begun to spread.

POPE FRANCIS’ PRAYER TO OUR LADY, HEALTH OF THE SICK
O Mary, you shine continuously
on our journey as a sign of salvation and hope.
We entrust ourselves to you, Health of the Sick.
At the foot of the Cross you
participated in Jesus’ pain, with steadfast faith.
You, Salvation of the Roman People, know what we need.
We are certain that you will provide,
so that, as you did at Cana of Galilee,
joy and feasting might return after this moment of trial.
Help us, Mother of Divine Love,
to conform ourselves to the Father’s will
and to do what Jesus tells us:
He who took our sufferings upon Himself, and bore our sorrows to
bring us,
through the Cross, to the joy of the Resurrection. Amen.
We seek refuge under your protection, O Holy Mother of God.
Do not despise our pleas – we who are put to the test – and deliver
us from every danger,
O glorious and blessed Virgin.

Gospel Today | Second Sunday of Easter | John 20: 19-31
Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent Me, so I send
you.” And when He had said this, He breathed on them and said to them,
“Receive the Holy Spirit. Whose sins you forgive are forgiven them, and whose
sins you retain are retained.” John 20:21‐23
