The Lord Jesus said to Sister Faustina: I want the first Sunday after Easter to be the Feast of Mercy (Diary 299). I want the Feast of Mercy to be the recourse and refuge of all souls, and particularly of those of poor sinners. On that day, the depths of my mercy are opened and I pour out a whole ocean of graces on the souls who approach the source of my mercy: every soul who confesses and takes communion will obtain complete forgiveness of their faults and remission of his sentence. On that day, all the divine sources through which graces flow are open (Diary 699). Jesus spoke about this feast to Sister Faustina in several revelations. He indicated the date in the liturgical calendar of the Church; He explained the motivation and the role to be fulfilled; He instructed the Church on how to prepare and celebrate it, and above all He gave great promises, the most unusual of which is this: those who approach the Source of Life on that day will obtain complete remission. of their faults and their punishments (cf. P. J. 300). It is therefore necessary to receive Holy Communion during the Feast of Divine Mercy after a good confession, that is to say without being attached to the slightest sin, and with complete confidence in Divine Mercy and mercy towards others. Jesus said: every soul who confesses and receives communion will obtain complete forgiveness of its faults and remission of its punishment (cf. Dial 699). The grace of the celebration – explains the abbot prof. Ignatius Różycki – goes beyond the grace of plenary indulgence. Let us quote his words: The grace of plenary indulgence consists of the remission only of temporary punishments due for having committed sins, but it never remits the faults themselves. The absolutely extraordinary grace (of this feast) also exceeds all the graces of the 6 holy sacraments (seven, except baptism), because the remission of all faults and sorrows is uniquely the sacramental grace of holy baptism. Now, Christ promised here the remission of faults and punishments based on the Holy Communion received on the day of the Feast of Mercy, that is to say, he elevated it to the rank of a “ second baptism. » How to prepare for the Feast of Divine Mercy? – By a novena which consists of reciting the Chaplet to Divine Mercy for 9 consecutive days, starting on Good Friday. Jesus insisted: My daughter, say that the feast of my Mercy has flowed from my womb for the consolation of the whole world
