April 3, 2016 Divine Mercy Sunday
Divine Mercy Feast
A God of Mercy or a God of Justice
On the feast of the Annunciation in 1936, the Blesses Virgin Mary spoke these words to St. Faustina; You
must make known His (Jesus’) Mercy and prepare the world for His Second Coming. He will then come, not
as a Merciful Savior, but as a Just Judge. Oh how terrible is that day...speak to the souls of His great Mercy
while there is still time.
Jesus revealed to St. Faustina that He wished a Feast be established to celebrate His
Divine Mercy, saying, “The souls that will go to Confession and receive Holy Com-
munion (on that day) shall obtain complete forgiveness of sins and punishment.”
In order to receive an abundance of graces that day, the individual must:
Trust in His Mercy, Venerate the Image of Divine Mercy, Perform at least one act of
mercy everyday, either in word, deed, or prayer.
The opportunity to receive the grace of a “second baptism” is offered only on Divine Mercy Sunday. Jesus
stated to St. Faustina; Before I come as a Just Judge, I first open wide the door of My Mercy. He who refuses
to pass through the door of My Mercy must pass through the door of My Justice.
Bishop Jensen will celebrate Mass for the Solemnity of the Divine Mercy on Sunday,
April 3, 2016 at 3:00 PM at Sacred Heart Cathedral.
12:10 - 3:00 PM Exposition and Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament
2:00 - 3:00 PM Confession
3:00 PM Chaplet of Divine Mercy followed by a Solemn Mass
POPE FRANCIS
Dear Brothers and Sisters: In our continuing catechesis for this Holy Year of Mercy, we now conclude our treatment of the Old
Testament with a consideration of Psalm 51, the Miserere. This Psalm is traditionally seen as King David’s prayer for forgiveness
following his sin with Bathsheba. Its opening words: “Have mercy on me, O God in your kindness”, are a moving confession of sin,
repentance and confident hope in God’s merciful pardon. Together with a heartfelt plea to be cleansed and purified of his sin, the
Psalmist sings the praise of God’s infinite justice and holiness. He asks for the forgiveness of his great sin but also for the gift of a
pure heart and a steadfast spirit, so that, thus renewed, he may draw other sinners back to the way of righteousness. God’s
forgiveness is the greatest sign of his infinite mercy. Through the prayers of Mary, Mother of Mercy, may we become ever more
convincing witnesses to that divine mercy which forgives our sins, creates in us a new heart, and enables us to proclaim God’s
reconciling love to the world.
I greet the English-speaking pilgrims and visitors taking part in today’s Audience, including those from England, Ireland, Norway,
Nigeria, Australia, Indonesia, Pakistan and the United States. In the joy of the Risen Lord, I invoke upon you and your families the
loving mercy of God our Father. May the Lord bless you all!

The Diocesan Youth Conference is a packed weekend adventure filled with dynamic talks, workshops, games, adoration, praise and wor-ship, and a coffeehouse featuring artists from across our diocese as part of an evening celebration. This year, our theme is ‘The Ascent’. The Christian journey often feels like a tough climb, but we hope young people will leave ready to take on every mountain. With the help of Face2Face Ministries, we will unpack that which is most central and basic to the Catholic Christian faith.

always going onward.”
