What is appropriate for the Second Sunday of Easter – Divine Mercy?
Second Sunday of Easter. The octave of Easter concludes with the Second Sunday of Easter, which is now subtitled “Divine Mercy Sunday.” The proper prayers and readings are those shown for the Second Sunday of Easter in the Sacramentary. No additional prayers or services are required that day; however, pastors may choose to have a Divine Mercy prayer service at a time later in the day. It is not appropriate to incorporate a Divine Mercy prayer service into a Mass or to attach such a service to the beginning or end of a Mass.
