3:00 p.m. Great Hour of Mercy Chaplet and Solemn Veneration

St. Augustine called the Easter Octave, “the days of mercy and pardon,” and the Octave Day itself, “the compendium of the days of mercy.”

Jesus chose a humble Polish nun, St. Maria Faustina Kowalska, to receive private revelations concerning Divine Mercy that were recorded in her diary. St. Faustina records that Jesus appeared to her in a vision, with his right hand raised in a blessing, and his left hand touching his garment above his heart. Red and white rays emanate from his heart, symbolizing the blood and water that was poured out for our salvation and our sanctification.

The Lord requested that “Jesus, I trust in You” be inscribed under his image. Jesus asked that his image be painted and venerated throughout the world: “I promise that the soul that will venerate this image will not perish” (Diary, no. 48) and “By means of this image I will grant many graces to souls” (Diary, no. 742).

The Chaplet was also given to St. Faustina with this promise: “Encourage souls to say the chaplet which I have given you” (Diary, no. 1541). “Whoever will recite it will receive great mercy at the hour of death… I desire that the whole world know My infinite mercy” (Diary, no. 687).
