Divine mercy Feast falls on Sunday after Easter. It is one of the beautiful feast, instituted by St John Paul II in 2000. St Faustina, one of the powerful apostle of mercy, was in her room in 1932, Jesus appeared to her and she was unable to move, stared at Him and the Lord asked her to paint His image the way she saw it. Jesus asked her to spread the image and He wanted all to keep this image. Those who treat this image with love and honour will receive so many blessings, just as if they are seeing Jesus in person.I was reading Faustina's diary and got my eye opened, anyone who says at least a chaplet of mercy ,he will receive mercy and forgiveness. So amazed,no matter how big is your sins are.
Our Divine Mercy Sunday with cake and other festivities.
Below is the video created about Divine Mercy
There are different crafts to do with children on this feast day, one of it is divine mercy craft and rosary Children can be taught about the different works of charity, corporal and spiritual inside the house and around as much as during the lockdown too, having a mercy jar and fill the seeds for every merciful action. In her dairy, Jesus encouraged souls to do this prayer and He will stand as a merciful saviour between soul and the Father.
On the feast day or on the forthcoming days we can have reconciliation and attending H. Mass on this day along with acts of charity is recommended(act of contrition, resolution not to sin ,spiritual communion prayer due to lock down).
Lots of resources to study and spread devotion is available in inspirefaith.

Reciting the chaplet at 3 o' clock , which is the time of graces, remembering the passion and the mercy of the Lord. Jesus asks to say the chaplet or visiting Holy Eucharist at this hour for His mercy to overflow, even it is not possible, pause a moment and focus on Him and offer up all the sufferings to the Lord and make this moment Holy.
Divine mercy Novena starts from Good friday till Divine Mercy sunday and praying with different intentions. I got so inspired from divine mercy for mom's, mothers who are spreading the devotion to Divine mercy is amazing. So thought to spread the devotion by giving prayer cards later on sometime.
