...that I discovered recently. He's a bold one. Here he holds forth on the Divine Mercy devotion that the Church will focus on tomorrow, the second Sunday of Easter, which we call 'Divine Mercy Sunday,' after the Holy Father John Paul II.
Since I completed reading Saint Maria Faustyna Kowalska's diaries, three years ago, I have seen the Divine Mercy as a more complete vision of what Saint Margaret Mary had seen a couple centuries or so earlier when she saw the Sacred Heart. And Sister Faustyna said that Christ Himself had required that she make a written record of the visions. Sister Margaret Mary was more retired and more reluctant to become as famous. So, as Father says in the video above, we may profit well from the Divine Mercy devotion of the 1930s, which in many ways prepared the Church for the horrors of the second World War, or at least the fallout from that war. These days the war on the Church is coming increasingly from within her, and her stance on such modern evils as abortion and euthanasia is being attacked by even her own. The season of Divine Mercy hasn't yet ended, and thank heaven.
