Divine Mercy Sunday - April 12
Novena begins Friday
Jesus, I trust in You.
The Divine Mercy is based on the writings of St. Faustina Kowalska, a Polish nun who wrote a diary recording the revelations she received about God's mercy. It focuses on the gift of mercy and love given through Christ's death, burial, and resurrection. Prepare for Divine Mercy Sunday (Sunday after Easter) with the Divine Mercy Novena. Daily prayers of the Novena will be posted beginning Good Friday.
