In a series of revelations to St. Maria Faustina Kowalska in the 1930s, our Lord called for a special feast day to be celebrated on the Sunday after Easter. Today, we know that feast as Divine Mercy Sunday, named by Pope St. John Paul II at the canonization of St. Faustina on April 30, 2000. It is fitting that Saint Pope John Paul II, not only died on this feast, but his final words, that he had prepared to be read on Divine Mercy Sunday, called for a greater understanding and acceptance that the floodgates of Divine Mercy are wide-open.
In commemoration of Divine Mercy, there will be a prayer service beginning at 3:00 pm. Inadvertently, this service has not made it into the parish bulletin. Fr. Andzej Mitera has asked that the Knights of Columbus spread the word about this beautiful service. We invite all Knights of Columbus to attend. The service will consist of the Liturgy of the Word, a Homily, and the praying of the Divine Mercy Chaplet; a prayer directly revealed to St. Faustina by Jesus, who asked her to pray the Chaplet unceasingly.
The Color Corps will assist with the service and we are looking for two readers from the ranks of the Council for the Liturgy of the Word. Contact the Grand Knight if you are interested in reading.
