One other thing I might add, A week after the resurrection, is when Jesus instituted the sacrament of reconciliation, It is then that he breathed upon the Apostles and said “Receive the Holy Spirit, whose sins you shall forgive they are forgiven. Whose sins you retain, they are retained.” This is Divine Mercy in action and in Scripture. It does not take away from the passion, death and resurrection. Rather it culminates Gods infinite Mercy. This does not in any way surpass the Eucharist, as that is the source and summit of all that is Catholic. For in it, there is more merit and grace than in all of the combined sacrifices of the Old Testament. Through Divine Mercy and Reconciliation, we are able to worthily receive this greatest of gifts.
