​​​The image of Jesus, the Divine Mercy, is to be venerated - that is, to make a gesture of religious respect toward it - on Divine Mercy Sunday. It is to be given a place of honor in our churches and homes on Sunday. We encourage you to print it and place it somewhere prominent in your home, perhaps accompanied by candles or flowers.

What is Divine Mercy Sunday

In 1931, a Polish nun named Sister Faustina Kowalska received a vision of Jesus wearing a white garment with beams of red and white coming from His heart, which came to be known as the image of Divine Mercy. Pope John Paul II canonized St. Faustina in 2000, and designated the Sunday after Easter as Divine Mercy Sunday. Divine Mercy Sunday focuses on the gifts of mercy and love that we are given through Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection.

On the Feast of Divine Mercy, we unite our prayers with those of the entire Church and the Saints as we pray for peace and mercy in the world, the conversion of sinners, for those who have died, the protection of the unborn, for all families, for the Holy Catholic Church, and in our heartfelt prayers we bring to God all of humanity, seeking true conversion of hearts as Jesus’ petitions in the Divine Mercy Novena calls for us to do and we experience unity as we recall St. John’s Gospel 17:21.
