Divine Mercy Sunday

Divine Mercy Sunday is a feast day in the Christian liturgical calendar, celebrated on the Sunday after Easter. It was instituted by Pope John Paul II in 2000, inspired by the visions of Saint Faustina Kowalska. The day emphasizes God's mercy and forgiveness, encouraging believers to reflect on the boundless love and compassion of God. Many participate in special church services, pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet, and seek reconciliation through confession. This day serves as a reminder of the significance of mercy in Christian faith, inviting all to trust in God's grace and extend compassion to others.
