A. According to Saint Faustina’s diary, Jesus asked that the first Sunday after Easter be designated as the “Feast of Divine Mercy”. He promised that on this day His Mercy would be overflowing to those who would ask for it. On Sunday, April 30, 2000, Pope John Paul II decreed that the Sunday after Easter officially be known as “Divine Mercy Sunday.” Jesus also requested a Divine Mercy Novena to begin on Good Friday in preparation for the Feast of Divine Mercy.
