Happy Easter to everyone. I hope you all enjoyed time spent with family and friends.
I wanted to take a moment to talk about Divine Mercy Sunday.
Jesus told St. Faustina that this Feast of Mercy would be a very special day when "all the divine floodgates through which graces flow are opened". (Diary 699) Our Lord made a great promise to all those souls who would go to Confession and then receive Him in Holy Communion on the Feast of Mercy, on the Sunday after Easter, which is now called Divine Mercy Sunday throughout the Catholic Church.
If you have never had the chance to attend this event I strongly encourage it. Check your local parishes and see who is hosting. For anyone in or near Elmhurst IL the following is specific info for you... Visitation Parish on York Road
