All Else Confusion

Tomorrow is the Feast of Divine Mercy, established for the Universal Church on the 2nd Sunday of Easter in 2000 by John Paul II. In his revelations to Sr. Faustina, Jesus asked repeatedly for a feast to be established to His Mercy. The feast had already been granted to Poland, which is why my Polish family was already celebrating the feast day when I was growing up.

The Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments stated that "throughout the world the Second Sunday of Easter will receive the name Divine Mercy Sunday, a perennial invitation to the Christian world to face, with confidence in divine benevolence, the difficulties and trials that mankind will experience in the years to come."

There will be Divine Mercy activities in Worcester at Holy Name of Jesus Church on Illinois Street starting at 1PM. Confession and Mass will be included.
