Please spread the word so that many of us can join with our Bishop in asking for the Lord’s Mercy. Never before has the world needed the Divine Mercy of Christ more than now.
Pope John Paul II, both in his teaching and personal life, strove to live and teach the message of Divine Mercy. As the great Mercy Pope, he wrote an encyclical on Divine Mercy:
The Message of Divine Mercy has always been near and dear to me… which I took with me to the See of Peter and which it in a sense forms the image of this Pontificate. In his writings and homilies, he has described Divine Mercy as the answer to the world’s problems and the message of the third millennium. He canonized Sr. Maria Faustina Kowalska on 30 April 2000, the nun associated with the message, and he did it in Rome and not in Poland to underscore that Divine Mercy is for the whole world. On the same day he established the Universal Feast of Divine Mercy on the Sunday after Easter Sunday.
The programme for the service is on the Friends of Divine Mercy Scotland facebook page and also on the Diocesan web.
