You can find out about this incredible day in the Church here.
Our Lord's mercy is so unfathomable and amazing, especially on this beautiful day! Jesus told Saint Faustina, "The soul that will go to Confession and receive Holy Communion shall obtain complete forgiveness of sins and punishment. On that day all the divine floodgates through which grace flow are opened. Let no soul fear to draw near to Me, even though its sins be as scarlet. My mercy is so great that no mind, be it of man or of angel, will be able to fathom it throughout all eternity."
*(Please read my note on private revelation at the bottom of the post)
God desired to be so closely reunited with us that He will restore our soul back to us back to the state it was in at the moment we were baptized, and all we have to do is trust in Him, be merciful to others, and go to confession** and receive the Holy Eucharist. That is so incredible!!
No matter what you've done, no matter who you are, Jesus loves you. He wants to forgive you even more than you want to be forgiven. Do not be afraid of your past sins, entrust them to our Lord, and trust in His unfathomable mercy! He loves you immensely. He wants you to trust in Him. He wants to envelop you in His grace and love and wants you to belong to Him forever. Our God's greatest attribute is mercy. He will not turn souls away if they are truly contrite for their sins.
Please pray for mercy for our world, that all may experience God's inexhaustible mercy and love.
God bless you, and may you have a very happy and blessed Divine Mercy Sunday, filled with the unfathomable grace and mercy of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!
*I am hoping to do a series on Private revelations in the upcoming months, including the revelations of Jesus to St.Faustina as well as numerous other revelations. Though the belief in Jesus' revelations to St. Faustina is not a requirement for belonging to the Church, the Church has supported and celebrated them for many years, and they have been deemed worthy of belief.
** It is not necessary to go to confession on Divine Mercy Sunday, just in a time that is relatively close to the day. So if you went to confession during Lent, that is just fine according to the Divine Mercy website.
