Celebrating Divine Mercy Sunday & Its Ties to Saint Faustina | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

This Sunday is Divine Mercy Sunday, a relatively new feast in the Universal Church calendar. It was brought into the calendar in the year 2000 at the canonization of Saint Faustina. The Vatican says the day is an invitation to the Christian world to turn with confidence toward the trials and difficulties we are facing now and in the future; and it also includes a special grace. Director of the National Shrine of Divine Mercy in Stockbridge, Massachusetts, Fr. Chris Alar, joins to tell us what is a little unusual about Divine Mercy Sunday and what the faithful can possibly receive this weekend. Fr. Chris discusses the feast itself and why it is so closely tied to Saint Faustina of Poland. He explains how the Divine Mercy Shrine in Massachusetts is celebrating this weekend. Fr. Chris fills us in on what his message is to the faithful about Divine Mercy Sunday. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
