Yesterday the 27th April was Divine Mercy Sunday. This is the day where we as Catholics are reminded that there is no sin so great God cannot forgive. This day is an opportunity and invitation for us to put all our troubles before God.
The Divine Mercy novena which begins on Good Friday and concludes 9 days later just before Divine Mercy Sunday helps to prepare us for this great Feast day.
This popular devotion was shared with the world by St. Faustina Kowalska ( 1905-1938). St Faustina was a nun from Poland chosen by Our Lord to be an apostle and secretary of this mercy.
Jesus tells St Faustina ( as detailed in her Diary – the Diary of St Faustina) that we can depend on his love and mercy if only we turn to him, repent of our sins and trust in him’ Jesus says ‘Sooner would Heaven and Earth turn into nothingness than would my mercy not embrace a trusting soul’.
The Divine Mercy Chaplet which is recited by many Catholics daily was also entrusted to St Faustina by Our Lord Jesus Christ.
Its it wonderful that if we truly trust in God and his mercy no sin is too great to be forgiven.
