Christ’s Promises to us on Divine
Mercy Sunday
From http://thedivinemercy.org/message/

The message of The Divine Mercy is simple. It is that God loves
us — all of us. And, he wants us to recognize that His mercy is
greater than our sins, so that we will call upon Him with trust,
receive His mercy, and let it flow through us to others. Thus, all
will come to share His joy.

Diary (1520)

The Divine Mercy message is one we can call to mind simply by
remembering ABC:
A - Ask for His Mercy. God wants us to approach Him in prayer
constantly, repenting of our sins and asking Him to pour His
mercy out upon us and upon the whole world.
B - Be merciful. God wants us to receive His mercy and let it flow
through us to others. He wants us to extend love and forgiveness
to others just as He does to us.

C - Completely trust in Jesus. God wants us to know that the
graces of His mercy are dependent upon our trust. The more we
trust in Jesus, the more we will receive.
This message and devotion to Jesus as The Divine Mercy is based
on the writings of Saint Faustina Kowalska, an uneducated Polish
nun who, in obedience to her spiritual director, wrote a diary of
about 600 pages recording the revelations she received about
God's mercy. Even before her death in 1938, the devotion to The
Divine Mercy had begun to spread.
The message and devotional practices proposed in the Diary of
Saint Faustina and set forth in this web site [thedivinemercy.org]
and other publications of the Marians of the Immaculate
Conception are completely in accordance with the teachings of
Church and are firmly rooted in the Gospel message of our
Merciful Savior. Properly understood and implemented, they will
help us grow as genuine followers of Christ.
Spend time to learn more about the mercy of God, learn to trust in
Jesus, and live your life as merciful to others, as Christ is merciful
to you.
