Hi, everyone!
Happy Easter! He is risen! Alleluia!
I hope and pray that you and your loved ones will have a joyous celebration today of Our Lord's resurrection.
Today we will talk about the magnificent treasure of Divine Mercy Sunday, which is one week from today. The immense blessings of that day are indescribably beautiful. Now a number of you are probably familiar with Fr. Chris Alar, MIC. But for those of you who don't yet know him, he is a great proponent of the Divine Mercy devotion, and also has a very deep love for Our Lady.
He has such wonderful enthusiasm, and he speaks about "The Divine Mercy Sunday" far more eloquently than I ever could. Therefore, I'm going to share the following link with you so that you can hear him tell you about it himself:
It's relatively short, I believe about 10 minutes in length or so. Please try to watch it sometime today on Easter Sunday. Hopefully, it will give you something to rejoice about in a special way for the next week.
Also, I recommend that you plan which mass you will attend to celebrate Divine Mercy Sunday next week.
Now for one more day, our sacred art will focus on the first part of the Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ, so it will be the same sacred art as yesterday, in order that we can enter more deeply into Our Lord's Passion. Then, tomorrow we will move forward artistically to the next phase of The Passion.
In order to find the prayers, as well as the links to magnificent sacred art, please do the following items:
