This beautiful feast is always the sunday after easter.

It's a devotion that can be followed throughout the year--but has special graces and significance in the Easter season.
​ 
For a simple way to celebrate, attend a celebration Mass at a local parish. If there isn't one for you to attend, consider saying the Divine Mercy Chaplet together as a family.  If you have the Divine Mercy picture of Jesus--put it in a prominent place in your home with flowers and candles. 

We also eat a polish meal (kielbasa, pierogies, etc.) in honor of St. Faustina (and St. JPII the Great-who was a great advocate of this devotion.)

Here's a simple coloring page for the young and old alike who still color.

Also some free cupcake toppers to download.  Just print, cut out, and set on a cupcake with white frosting.

I love the Divine Mercy App from the Marian Fathers. It also has some other great resources for devotion to the Divine Mercy.  If you find yourself with a few minutes to pray, you can easily pull out this app to help you keep track.  It's free.  Just search for it on your app store.
