Divine Mercy Sunday Services In Grafton On Sunday, April 23th

GRAFTON: Divine Mercy Sunday will be celebrated with a special afternoon of
prayer at St. Mary’s Roman Catholic Church, 17 Waterville Street in North Grafton on
Sunday, April 23rd from 2:00 PM until 4:00 PM.

The devotion to Jesus as The Divine Mercy is based on the writings of Saint
Faustina Kowalska (1905-1938), a Polish nun. At her canonization on April
30, 2000, Pope John Paul II announced, "From now on, the Second Sunday of
Easter will be called Divine Mercy Sunday." According to revelations in the
DIARY OF ST. FAUSTINA, Our Lord desired the establishment of this feast on the
first Sunday after Easter. He promised complete forgiveness of sins and
forgiveness of temporal punishment of sins to those who observe the Feast of Mercy
and follow the other spiritual exercises.

Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, Divine Mercy themed music, recitation of the rosary,
and the Divine Mercy Chaplet will be included in the afternoon worship program.
Several priests from the Worcester Diocese will be available to hear confessions.
