Today the Church celebrates Divine Mercy Sunday, a feast that reminds us of the endless mercy flowing from the heart of Christ. The devotion began with the visions of Saint Faustina Kowalska, a Polish nun in the 1930s who recorded Jesus’ message of mercy and trust in her diary.
In the year 2000, Pope John Paul II officially established Divine Mercy Sunday for the whole Church, placing it on the Sunday after Easter, a fitting moment to celebrate the mercy made visible through Christ’s Passion, death, and Resurrection.
This feast reminds us that no sin is greater than God’s mercy, and that Jesus invites each of us to trust in His love and extend that mercy to others.
🙏 Jesus, I trust in You.
