question about devine mercy

[spirocatania]

The Lord said anybody who goes to confession and recives holy communion the Sunday after Easter there sins will be forgiven and there punishment inwhich they would have to do in purgatory will not be given to them or wiped off from them.

My question is, is it only the sins which are confessed during that actual confession that the punishment will be taken away from them OR is it all sins which have been confessed in ones life from the very first confession they have done.

Does anyone know

 

[Timothysis]

It is ALL the sins of your life.

I find the Divine Mercy interesting in Catholicism, especially since such a devotion was prohibited under penalty of anathema at the Council of Trent.

CANON XII.-If any one saith, that justifying faith is nothing else but confidence in the divine mercy which remits sins for Christ’s sake; or, that this confidence alone is that whereby we are justified; let him be anathema.

I think that means that you can’t do anything you want (sin) and presume upon God’s mercy to save you just because you believe Jesus saved you by His sacrifice. You have to participate in your own redemption by following Christ’s example.
The divine mercy devotion is completely different than the protestant notion you seem to be implying it has. It involves acknowledging and confessing our sins and asking Jesus to forgive us in His mercy.

Also, it is an indulgence granted by the Church in response to Christ’s request to St. Faustina.

It is the Sacramental Absolution in confession that absolves us from our sins .The Divine Mercy of Our Lord remits the punishment due to those sins . Contrary to your statement this devotion wasnt prohibited . N.B. It is the punishment that is remitted by fulfilling the conditions to receive the indulgence . Ones sins must be confessed & absolved beforehand . For more info. read up on the life of St. Faustina .

Ah, I understood it a different way. So this devotion is followed under, as they are called, the usual conditions? And I find it to be a lovely prayer for the soul in trouble.
