According to Saint Faustina, Jesus told her to communicat to the whole world that those who go to confession and receive Holy Communion on the Feast of Divine Mercy will obtain complete forgiveness of sins and punishment. Jesus is bestowing special graces on this day.
Additionally, one can also receive a plenary and partial indulgence as Decreed by the Holy Father, Saint Pope John Paul II. The plenary indulgence is granted under the usual conditions (sacramental confession, Eucharistic communion, and prayer for the pope.) More information is available in the narthex.
How to Prepare: Examine your conscience and go to confession before receiving Communion on Divine Mercy Sunday (or Saturday Vigil Mass).
