On the Second Sunday of Easter of the Jubilee Year 2000,
at the Mass for the canonization of St. Faustina Kowalska, Pope John Paul II
proclaimed to the world that "from now on throughout the Church" this Sunday will be
called "Divine Mercy Sunday."
Our Lord insisted that it be celebrated on a specific day - the Sunday after Easter! Our Lord revealed to St. Faustina His desire to literally flood us with His graces on that day. Just consider each of the promises and desires that He expressed about Mercy Sunday, which are recorded in the main passage of the Diary — passage 699 — about Mercy Sunday:
"On that day the very depths of My tender Mercy are open. I pour out a whole ocean of graces upon these souls who approach the Fount of My mercy [the Sacraments of Reconciliation and Holy Eucharist]. The soul that will go to Confession [beforehand] and receive Holy Communion [on that day] shall obtain complete forgiveness of sins and punishment. On that day all the divine floodgates through which grace flow are opened. Let no soul fear to draw near to Me, even though its sins be as scarlet. The Feast of Mercy emerged from My very depths of tenderness. It is My desire that it be solemnly celebrated on the first Sunday after Easter. “Souls perish in spite of My bitter Passion. I am giving them the last hope of salvation; that is, the Feast of My Mercy. If they will not adore My mercy, they will perish for all eternity...tell souls about this great mercy of Mine, because the awful day, the day of My justice, is near.” (965) Wake up people of the World, and repent of your sins, this just might be our last hope of salvation!"
“Yes, the first Sunday after Easter is the Feast of Mercy, but there must also be acts of mercy ... I demand from you deeds of mercy, which are to arise out of love for Me. You are to show mercy to your neighbors always and everywhere. You must not shrink from this or try to excuse or absolve yourself from it" (742)."And who knows anything about this feast? No one! Even those who should be proclaiming My mercy and teaching people about it often do not know about it themselves. That is why I want the image to be solemnly blessed on the First Sunday after Easter, and I want it to be venerated publicly so that every soul may know about it." (Diary 341)
Święto Miłosierdzia obchodzone jest w pierwszą niedzielę po Wielkanocy, czyli II Niedzielę Wielkanocną, zwaną obecnie Niedzielą Miłosierdzia Bożego. Na prośbę
Episkopatu Polski Ojciec Święty Jan Paweł II w 1995 roku wprowadził to święto dla wszystkich diecezji w Polsce. W dniu kanonizacji Siostry Faustyny 30 kwietnia 2000 roku Papież ogłosił to święto dla całego Kościoła. Inspiracją dla ustanowienia tego święta było pragnienie Jezusa, które przekazała Siostra Faustyna. Pan Jezus powiedział do niej:Pragnę, ażeby pierwsza niedziela po Wielkanocy była świętem Miłosierdzia (Dz. 299). Pragnę, aby święto Miłosierdzia, było ucieczką i schronieniem dla wszystkich dusz, a szczególnie dla biednych grzeszników. W dniu tym otwarte są wnętrzności miłosierdzia Mego, wylewam całe morze łask na dusze, które się zbliżą do źródła miłosierdzia Mojego. Która dusza przystąpi do spowiedzi i Komunii świętej, dostąpi zupełnego odpuszczenia win i kar.W dniu tym otwarte są wszystkie upusty Boże, przez które płyną łaski (Dz. 699).W wielu objawieniach Pan Jezus określił nie tylko miejsce święta w kalendarzu liturgicznym Kościoła, ale także motyw i cel jego ustanowienia, sposób przygotowania i obchodzenia oraz wielkie obietnice. Największą z nich jest łaska „zupełnego odpuszczenia win i kar” związana z Komunią świętą przyjętą w tym dniu po dobrze odprawionej spowiedzi (bez przywiązania do najmniejszego grzechu), w duchu nabożeństwa do Miłosierdzia Bożego, czyli w postawie ufności wobec Boga i czynnej miłości bliźniego. Jest to – jak tłumaczy ks. prof. Ignacy Różycki – łaska większa od odpustu zupełnego. Ten polega bowiem tylko na darowaniu kar doczesnych należnych za popełnione grzechy, ale nie jest nigdy odpuszczeniem samychże win. Najszczególniejsza łaska jest zasadniczo również większa niż łaski sześciu sakramentów z wyjątkiem sakramentu chrztu: albowiem odpuszczenie wszystkich win i kar jest tylko sakramentalną łaską chrztu świętego. W przytoczonych zaś obietnicach Chrystus związał odpuszczenie win i kar z Komunią świętą przyjętą w święto Miłosierdzia, czyli pod tym względem podniósł ją do rzędu „drugiego chrztu”. Przygotowaniem do tego święta ma być nowenna polegająca na odmawianiu przez 9 dni, poczynając od Wielkiego Piątku, Koronki do Miłosierdzia Bożego. Święto Miłosierdzia Mojego wyszło z wnętrzności [Moich] dla pociechy świata całego (Dz. 1517) – powiedział Pan Jezus do Siostry Faustyny.
In October 1937, in Cracow (Poland), Lord Jesus instructed Sister Faustina to venerate the hour of His death and to connect with Him in prayer referring to the value and merits of His Passion. “I desire that you know more profoundly the love that burns in My Heart for souls, and you will understand this when you meditate upon My Passion. Call upon My mercy on behalf of sinners; I desire their salvation. When you say this prayer, with a contrite heart and with faith on behalf of a sinner, I will give him the grace of conversion. This is the prayer: O Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the
Heart of Jesus as a fount of Mercy for us, I trust in You” (Diary, 187).
“At three o’clock, implore My mercy, especially for sinners; and, if only for a brief moment, immerse yourself in My Passion, particularly in My abandonment at the moment of agony. This is the hour of great mercy for the whole world. I will allow you to enter into My mortal sorrow. In this hour, I will refuse nothing to the soul that makes a request of Me in virtue of My Passion…”
(Diary, 1320). “...as often as you hear the clock strike the third hour, immerse yourself completely in My mercy, adoring and glorifying it; invoking its omnipotence for the whole world (...). In this hour you can obtain everything for yourself and for others simply by asking; it was the hour of grace for the whole world - mercy triumphed over justice (...) try your best to meditate on the Stations of the Cross in this hour, provided that your duties permit it; and if you are not able to say the Stations of the Cross, then at least step into the chapel for a moment and adore the Blessed Sacrament, My Heart, which is full of mercy; and should you be unable to step in to the chapel, immerse yourself in prayer wherever you happen to be, if only for a very brief instant. I claim veneration for My mercy from every creature”
(Diary, 1572). “On the Cross, the fountain of My mercy was opened wide by the lance for all souls - no one have I excluded!”
(Diary, 1182).
W październiku
1937 r. w Krakowie,
Pan Jezus polecił siostrze
Faustynie czcić godzinę swej śmierci, łączyć się z
Nim w modlitwie odwołując
się do wartości i zasług
Jego męki.
„Pragnę, abyś głębiej poznała moją miłość, jaką pała moje serce ku duszom, a zrozumiesz to, kiedy będziesz rozważać moją mękę. Wzywaj mojego miłosierdzia dla grzeszników, pragnę ich zbawienia. Kiedy odmówisz tę modlitwę za jakiegoś grzesznika z sercem skruszonym i wiarą, dam mu łaskę nawrócenia. Modlitwa ta jest następująca: O Krwi i Wodo, któraś wytrysnęła z Serca
Jezusowego, jako zdrój miłosierdzia dla nas - ufamy Tobie” (Dz. 187).
„O trzeciej godzinie błagaj mojego miłosierdzia, szczególnie dla grzeszników, i choć przez krótki moment zagłębiaj się w mojej męce, szczególnie w moim opuszczeniu w chwili konania. Jest to godzina wielkiego miłosierdzia dla świata całego (...) w tej godzinie nie odmówię duszy niczego, która mnie prosi przez mękę moją...” (Dz. 1320).
„Ile razy usłyszysz, jak zegar bije trzecią godzinę, zanurzaj się cała w miłosierdziu moim, uwielbiając i wysławiając je; wzywaj jego wszechmocy dla całego świata (...). W godzinie tej uprosisz wszystko dla siebie i innych; w tej godzinie stała się łaska dla całego świata - miłosierdzie zwyciężyło sprawiedliwość. (...) staraj się w tej godzinie odprawić drogę krzyżową; a jeżeli nie możesz odprawić drogi krzyżowej, to przynamniej wstąp na chwilę do kaplicy i uczcij moje serce, które jest pełne miłosierdzia w Najświętszym Sakramencie; a jeżeli nie możesz wstąpić do kaplicy, pogrąż się w modlitwie tam, gdzie jesteś, chociaż przez króciutką chwilę. Żądam czci dla mojego miłosierdzia od wszelkiego stworzenia...” (Dz. 1572).
„Zdrój miłosierdzia mojego został otwarty na oścież włócznią na krzyżu dla wszystkich dusz - nikogo nie wyłączyłem” (Dz. 1182).
SR. FAUSTINA ABOUT
THE HOUR OF MERCY
ŚW. SR. FAUSTYNA
O GODZINIE
BOŻEGO MIŁOSIERDZIA
SUNDAY OF DIVINE MERCY
The Heart of Christ! His "Sacred Heart" has given men everything: redemption, salvation, sanctification.
St. Faustina Kowalska saw coming from this Heart that was overflowing with generous love, two rays of light which
illuminated the world. "The two rays", according to what Jesus himself told her, "represent the blood and the water"
(Diary, p. 132). The blood recalls the sacrifice of Golgotha and the mystery of the Eucharist; the water, according to the rich symbolism of
the Evangelist John, makes us think of Baptism and the Gift of the Holy Spirit
(cf. Jn 3: 5; 4: 14). Through the mystery of this wounded heart, the restorative
tide of God's merciful love continues to spread over the men and women of our time.
Here alone can those who long for true and lasting happiness find its secret.
(Saint John Paul II)

THE NEW ALTAR
and IMPROVEMENTS IN OUR SHRINE
Plans are underway for the new altar at our shrine. The Shrine has been blessed by the financial support from many donors. An amount of $60,000 has been raised to cover the cost of the altar. We also received a donation to cover the cost of the two images on either side of the altar. Currently the altar is being
constructed in Poland and it will be sent here by ship. There’s also an HVAC system in our plans to make the upper church more comfortable and also to fight with moisture in the upper church. We are also thinking about an elevator/lift to make our upper church available for everyone where the main altar with all the relics will be installed. We want it to be available for everyone so the next step is to make handicap bathrooms accessible.
In the meantime, there is work to be done in preparation for the new altar. The masonry outside the church has been repaired as well as several small roof leaks. New gutters have been installed on the rectory. The inside walls behind the altar have been sealed and painted. The presbytery will have to be painted before the altar is installed. These repairs and renovations are costly and we need to raise funds for this purpose. You may also notice new insulated windows in the assembly room and the upper sacristy. These are a great improvement which will save on heating and cooling costs. There is also new fencing in front of the church.
We are also in the process of looking to reopen our school building. This is a daunting task as the building needs major renovations. There are many men in the shrine community who have offered their time and skills to complete these projects. We would only have to pay for materials. In order to have heat and water in the school the pipes need to be repaired. The Archdiocese will cover this cost through insurance; however, we must have the asbestos covering the pipes removed. Asbestos removal is also necessary on the boiler and in the cafeteria. The second collections are presently held for this reason.
I am grateful to those who, through spiritual and physical help, engage in the development of our church and school buildings. We wish to have the shrine attract many people who will find spiritual fulfillment and become disciples sharing the word of Christ to others. Thank you again for your kindness, prayers and financial support. May God bless you all.
