Forms of Divine Mercy Devotion

St. Faustina’s diary contains at least 15 passages in which Our Lord is quoted at requesting that a “Feast of Mercy” be officially established in the Church. He declared:

This Feast emerged from My most tender pity and it is confirmed in the depths of My mercy…I desire that it be celebrated with great solemnity on the first Sunday after Easter…I desire that the Feast of Mercy be a refuge and shelter for all souls, and especially for poor sinner. The very depths of My tender mercy are open on that day. I pour out a whole ocean of graces upon souls who will approach the fount of My mercy.

The soul that will go to Confession and receive Holy Communion (on that day) shall obtain complete and forgiveness of sins and punishment…Let no soul fear to draw near to Me, even though its sins be as scarlet..
