Divine Mercy Sunday

After Mass it was nice to just come home and relax.  We had a busy weekend but I didn't want to allow such a special Sunday to pass us by without something extra sweet.  Max and Lucy are old enough to understand what gift we have in Divine Mercy Sunday. 

Fr. K had explained it so beatifully in Mass.  Literally I had goose bumps from his Homily.  So when we got home I made a simple treat with the image of Jesus and His pouring mercy on cupcakes.

I used this quick explanation from EWTN to talk further about Jesus's message using the ABC

A- Ask for His Mercy. God wants us to approach Him in prayer constantly, repenting of our sins and

asking Him to pour His mercy out upon us and upon the whole world.

B- Be merciful. God wants us to receive His mercy and let it flow through us to others. He wants us to

extend love and forgiveness to others just as He does to us.

C- Completely trust in Jesus. God wants us to know that the graces of His mercy are dependent upon our
trust. The more we trust in Jesus, the more we will receive.

"The pale ray stands for the Water which makes souls righteous;

the red ray stands for the Blood which is the life of souls. These

two rays issued forth from the depths of My most tender Mercy at

that time when My agonizing Heart was opened by a lance on the

Cross....Fortunate is the one who will dwell in their shelter, for

the just hand of God shall not lay hold of him."

`  St. Faustina Kowalska
