In a series of revelations to St. Maria Faustina Kowalska in the 1930s, our Lord called for a special feast day to be celebrated on the Sunday after Easter. Today, we know that feast as Divine Mercy Sunday, named by Pope St. John Paul II at the canonization of St. Faustina on April 30, 2000.
Leading up to Diving Mercy Sunday, we are invited to pray the Divine Mercy Novena. A novena is typically nine days of prayer in preparation for a celebration of a feast day. This year, we begin praying the Divine Mercy Novena on Good Friday, April 18, and end on April 26, the day before the Feast of Divine Mercy.
You can find the Novena on our homepage under "Featured Prayers," or click here for the Novena on The Divine Mercy website.

Solemnities, Feasts, and Memorials are days which are celebrated in commemoration of the sacred mysteries and events recorded in the history of our redemption, in memory of the Virgin Mother of Christ, or of His apostles, martyrs, and saints.
