Divine Mercy Sunday
EWTN, CatholicTV When Jesus told St. Faustina Kowalska in 1931 that he wanted the Church to establish a feast of Mercy on the Sunday after Easter as a “shelter for all souls, and especially for poor sinners” he said, “The soul that will go to confession and receive holy Communion will obtain complete forgiveness of sins and punishment. On that day are opened all the divine floodgates through which graces flow. Let no soul fear to draw near to me, even though its sins be as scarlet.” On EWTN, the Divine Mercy Preview Show at noon readies viewers for the Solemn Mass of Divine Mercy, live at 1 p.m. On CatholicTV at 2:30 and 3 p.m., shows explain the Chaplet of Divine Mercy, recite it, and present reverent music videos about Divine Mercy.
