Divine Mercy Sunday HistoryDivine Mercy Sunday serves to remind believers of God's unending love and mercy. The day draws its theological relevance from the visions of Saint Faustina Kowalska, a Polish nun, who was said to have had encounters with Jesus Christ where He expressed his divine mercy, calling all to accept it without fear or hesitation. Key aspects of the event include the Divine Mercy Chaplet, a series of prayers, and the Divine Mercy image, representative of Jesus’ divine mercy, accompanied with the phrase 'Jesus, I Trust in You'. Historically, the devotion to Divine Mercy spread globally after Saint Faustina's death in 1938. Australia, with its deep Catholic roots, embraced this observance, with various religious groups and parishes actively participating. For Australian Catholics, Divine Mercy Sunday serves as a time of reflection on God's infinite mercy. This is seen as particularly poignant given Australia's diverse and multi-ethnic population, reinforcing a universal message of compassionate mercy that transcends cultural differences. In Australia, Divine Mercy Sunday is typically marked with mass prayers, processions, and the singing of hymns. The Divine Mercy image is prominently displayed and venerated in parishes, and the Divine Mercy Chaplet is recited. Spaces for personal reflections and confession are often provided to allow participants to contemplate on mercy in their own lives. Divine Mercy Sunday falls on the second Sunday of the Easter season, a week after Easter Sunday, which runs according to the Gregorian calendar. Facts about Divine Mercy Sunday
