UPDATED — Divine Mercy observances, April 28

I desire that this image be displayed in public on the first Sunday after Easter. That Sunday is the Feast of Mercy. Through the Word Incarnate, I make known the bottomless depth of My mercy.”

St. Faustina Kowalska, Diary, 88

April 28 is the Second Sunday of Easter and the Feast of Divine Mercy.
