Feast of Mercy
1. Celebrate the Feast on the Sunday after Easter;
2. Sincerely repent of all our sins;
3. Place our complete trust in Jesus;
4. Go to Confession, preferably before that Sunday;
5. Receive Holy Communion on the day of the Feast;
6. Venerate* the Image of The Divine Mercy
7. Be merciful to others, through our actions, words, and prayers on their behalf.
*To venerate a sacred image or statue simply means to perform some act or make some gesture of deep religious respect toward it because of the person whom it represents ‑ in this case, our Most Merciful Savior.
The Reproaches (Improperia)
O my people, what have I done to you?
How have I hurt you? Answer me.
O my people, what have I done to you?
How have I hurt you?
Answer me.
I led you out of Egypt,From slavery I set you free.
I brought you into a land of promise:
You have prepared a cross for me.I led you as a shepherd,
I brought you dryshod through the sea;I fed you manna in the desert
You have prepared a cross for me.I fought for you in battles,
I won you strength and victory;
Gave you a royal crown and sceptre:
You have prepared a cross for me.I planted you, my vineyard,
And cared for you most tenderly;
Looked for abundant fruit and found none:
Only the cross you made for me.
Then listen to my pleadingAnd do not turn away from me.
You are my people: will you reject me?
For you I suffer bitterly.
Easter Day
"Since you have been risen up in company with Christ, set your heart on what pertains to higher realms where Christ is seated at God's right hand. Be intent on things above rather than on things of earth" Colossians 3:1-2
My prayer
Father, may we continually posses in us the dying of Jesus so that in our bodies the life of the risen Lord may also be revealed.Amen.
Jesus' Promise to us...
Jesus said to her, ‘I am the resurrection and the life.Those who believe in me, even though they die, will live, and everyone who lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?’
John 11:25-26
耶稣对他说：复活在我 ，生命也在我 。信我的人虽然死了 , 也必复活 ，
凡活着信我的人必永远不死 。你信这话麽？
約 翰 福 音 11:25-26
예수께서 가라사대 나는 부활이요 생명이니 나를 믿는 자는 죽어도 살겠고
무릇 살아서 나를 믿는 자는 영원히 죽지 아니하리니 이것을 네가 믿느냐
요한복음 11:25-26
