Divine Mercy Sunday is on April 27, 2014. The journey through Lent reminds us of our need for the mercy of God. In the celebration of the resurrection of Jesus Christ we recognize the abundant mercy which God bestows upon us. On April 30, 2000 Pope John Paul II established the Second Sunday of Easter as Divine Mercy Sunday.
The Divine Mercy Novena (nine days of prayer) will begin on Good Friday, April 18 and continue through Saturday, April 26. This is a powerful way to enter into the mystery of Good Friday, Holy Saturday and the Easter Vigil, Easter Sunday, as well as the Octave Days of Easter which are all celebrated as a Solemnities of the Lord.
I want to invite and encourage you to join an on-line community of people who pray novenas on a regular basis. You simply sign up and novena prayers will be sent to your e-mail for those nine days from Good Friday to Divine Mercy Sunday. There are 99,000 people signed up currently and it would be great to break the 100,000 mark. Can you imagine the graces that will be poured upon God’s people through this magnificent prayer endeavor?
