To get the indulgence equal to a second baptism, do you have to goto a church that is celebrating the divine mercy or will any mass and communion do? Also, if I goto confession today, will that count? And finally, can I have venial sins on my soul and still get the indulgence?
 
I was wondering about this too. I don’t think my parish is celebrating the Divine Mercy. I know they did one year but there was no mention of it this year.
 
TexRose, I hope you dont mind I used your animated gif for my signature. Thanks.
 
It’s a nice pic 🙂

I somehow don’t think Our Lord meant his mercy on this day to only apply to mortal sins :hmmm:

And I think he’ll make allowances if your church isn’t doing anything particular to mark the occasion, provided you have made the effort to go to confession and communion. :yup:
 
This is from St. Faustina’s diary:

Concerning the Feast of Mercy Jesus said:

Whoever approaches the Fountain of Life on this day will be granted complete forgiveness of sins and punishment. (Diary 300)

I want the image solemnly blessed on the first Sunday after Easter, and I want it to be venerated publicly so that every soul may know about it. (Diary 341)

This Feast emerged from the very depths of My mercy, and it is confirmed in the vast depths of my tender mercies. (Diary 420)

On one occasion, I heard these words: My daughter, tell the whole world about My Inconceivable mercy. I desire that the Feast of Mercy be a refuge and shelter for all souls, and especially for poor sinners. On that day the very depths of My tender mercy are open. I pour out a whole ocean of graces upon those souls who approach the fount of My mercy. The soul that will go to Confession and receive Holy Communion shall obtain complete forgiveness of sins and punishment.* [our emphasis] On that day all the divine floodgates through which grace flow are opened. Let no soul fear to draw near to Me, even though its sins be as scarlet. My mercy is so great that no mind, be it of man or of angel, will be able to fathom it throughout all eternity. Everything that exists has come forth from the very depths of My most tender mercy. Every soul in its relation to Me will I contemplate My love and mercy throughout eternity. The Feast of Mercy emerged from My very depths of tenderness. It is My desire that it be solemnly celebrated on the first Sunday after Easter. Mankind will not have peace until it turns to the Fount of My Mercy. (Diary 699)

Yes, the first Sunday after Easter is the Feast of Mercy, but there must also be deeds of mercy, which are to arise out of love for Me. You are to show mercy to our neighbors always and everywhere. You must not shrink from this or try to absolve yourself from it. (Diary 742)

I want to grant complete pardon to the souls that will go to Confession and receive Holy Communion on the Feast of My mercy. (Diary 1109)

As you can see the Lord’s desire for the Feast includes the solemn, public veneration of the Image of Divine Mercy by the Church, as well as personal acts of veneration and mercy. The great promise for the individual soul is that a devotional act of sacramental penance and Communion will obtain for that soul the plenitude of the divine mercy on the Feast.
 
May God’s peace, love and mercy be with you all!

The conditions are celebrating the Divine Mercy Feast day:
  1. Repenting of all our sins sincerely.
  2. Placing our complete trust in Our Good Lord Jesus.
  3. Going to confession (could be done days before the Divine Mercy Sunday). A person in a state of mortal sin cannot receive Holy Communion until Confession has been done.
  4. Receiving Holy Communion on Divine Mercy Sunday.
  5. Venerating the image of The Divine Mercy.
  6. Doing Acts of Mercy to others through our actions, words and prayers on their behalf.
  7. Celebrating the Feast of the Divine Mercy on the Sunday after Easter.
On April 30, 2000, during the canonization of St. Faustina, Pope John Paul II has declared that the Second Sunday of Easter will be called Divine Mercy Sunday throughout the Church. So, every Catholic church is celebrating the feast of the Divine Mercy whether they mention it or not, or whether they have a separate Divine Mercy celebration or not.

We receive all the graces by doing the conditions mentioned above.

May we all take advantage of the outpouring of graces, the forgiveness, love and mercy of Our Good Lord Jesus Christ on this awesome and beautiful feast of The Divine Mercy, and on each and every moment of our lives.

May we unceasingly glorify His endless love and mercy for us. God bless to all!

Blessed be Jesus and Mary!
