Divine Mercy Sunday
Sunday 12th April
There will be two opportunities to celebrate Divine Mercy Sunday within our deanery.
At St Joseph’s Church (New Zealand Road, CF14 3BR), the celebration begins at 2:00 pm with Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament and Confession, followed by a 2:45 pm talk on the Divine Mercy Chaplet, the Chaplet at 3:00 pm, veneration of the Divine Mercy image at 3:15 pm, Benediction at 3:30 pm, and then Mass, with refreshments afterwards in the hall.
At St Alban on the Moors (Swinton Street, Splott, CF24 2NT), Confessions will be available from 2:00–4:00 pm, with the Blessing and Veneration of the Divine Mercy Image at 2:30 pm and the Divine Mercy Chaplet at 3:00 pm.
How to Prepare Your Heart for the Feast
The Church offers us simple but meaningful ways to enter fully into Divine Mercy Sunday:
- Celebrate the Feast on the Sunday after Easter
- Repent sincerely of all sins
- Place complete trust in Jesus
- Go to Confession before or on Divine Mercy Sunday
- Receive Holy Communion on the day of the Feast
- Venerate the Divine Mercy Image
- Show mercy to others through actions, words, and prayers
These steps help us open our hearts to the graces Jesus promised to those who seek His mercy with faith.
Whether you are familiar with the devotion or discovering it for the first time, you are warmly encouraged to join us for this beautiful celebration. Divine Mercy Sunday reminds us that no one is beyond the reach of Christ’s love.
We look forward to welcoming you.
Jesus, I trust in You!
