“There is nothing that man needs more than Divine Mercy.” - Pope John Paul II, 7/6/97

“Those sacred wounds in His hands, in His feet and in His side, are an inexhaustible source of , hope and love from which each one can draw, especially the souls who thirst the most for Divine Mercy.” - Pope Benedict 3/4/2006

“Remember this well, and we can say it all together: ‘There is no limit to Divine Mercy offered to all!’” - 6/4/2014

How to Prepare for the Feast of Mercy To observe Divine Mercy Sunday fittingly, we should precede the feast by a nine-day novena of chaplets to the Divine Mercy, beginning on Good Friday (privately said) and: 1. Celebrate the Feast on the first Sunday after Easter; 2. Sincerely repent of all our sins; 3. Place our complete trust in Jesus; 4. Go to Confession on that Sunday or within seven days before or after the Feast; 5. Receive Holy Communion on the day of the Feast; 6. Venerate* the Image of The Divine Mercy; 7. Be merciful to others, through our actions, words and prayers on their behalf. * To venerate a sacred image or statue simply means to perform some act or make some gesture of deep religious respect toward it because of the person whom it represents - in this case, our most Merciful Saviour.

“When you approach the Confessional, know this, that I Myself am waiting there for you. I am only hidden by the priest, but I Myself act in your soul.” (Diary 699) “Whoever sincerely says ‘Jesus, I trust in You’, will find comfort in all fears.” The Tribunal of Mercy Pope John Paul II, 7/6/97
