April 27: Divine Mercy Sunday / Domingo de la Divina Misericordia

The Feast of Divine Mercy (celebrated on the Second Sunday of Easter) finds its inspiration in the words Jesus spoke to St. Faustina: “I desire the confidence of my people. Let not even the weak and very sinful fear to approach me, even if their sins be as numerous as all the sands of the earth they will be forgiven in the fathomless pit of my Mercy.” The Religious Sister who became a Saint said she received instructions on how to pray “to lead souls to the Fount of my Mercy, in order that they may draw from it strength, refreshment, and all the graces they need in the trials of their lives, especially at the hour of death. Each day you will lead a different group of souls and immerse them in the sea of my Mercy. Each day you will beseech the Father through my bitter Passion for graces for these souls.

La Fiesta de la Divina Misericordia tiene como fin principal hacer llegar a los corazones de cada persona el siguiente mensaje: Dios es Misericordioso y nos ama a todos ... “y cuanto más grande es el pecador, tanto más grande es el derecho que tiene a Mi misericordia.” (Diario de Santa Faustina, 723). En este mensaje, que Nuestro Señor nos ha hecho llegar por medio de Santa Faustina, se nos pide que tengamos plena confianza en la Misericordia de Dios, y que seamos siempre misericordiosos con el prójimo a través de nuestras palabras, acciones y oraciones... “porque la fe sin obras, por fuerte que sea, es inútil.” (Diario, 742)
