Octave Day of Easter—Divine
Mercy Sunday
The Second Sunday of Easter was
already a solemnity as the Octave Day of
Easter; nevertheless, the title “Divine Mercy
Sunday” does highlight and amplify the
meaning of the day. It is well known that the
title “Divine Mercy Sunday” expresses the
message of the prayers and readings
traditionally appointed for this Octave Day.
Liturgically the day has always been centered
on the theme of Divine Mercy and forgiveness.
The Octave Day of Easter, Divine Mercy Sunday, therefore points
us to the merciful love of God, and the forgiveness of sins, that
lies behind the whole Paschal Mystery – the whole mystery of the
death, burial and resurrection of Christ – made present for us in
the Eucharist.
As Saint John Paul II pointed out in his Regina Caeli
address on Divine Mercy Sunday, 1995: “the whole octave of
Easter is like a single day,” and the Octave Sunday is meant to be
the day of “thanksgiving for the goodness God has shown to man
in the whole Easter mystery. As Saint John Paul II stated in his
homily at the first universal celebration of Divine Mercy Sunday
in 2001 “Divine Mercy! This is the Easter gift that the Church
receives from the risen Christ and offers to humanity at the dawn
of the 3rd millennium.”
The full Gospel is clearly illustrated in the Image of The
Divine Mercy, that Our Lord Jesus insisted to be blessed and
venerated on that particular Sunday, which includes the words
“Jesus, I trust in you”.
Divine Mercy Sunday is the Octave Day of Easter, a day
that especially celebrates the merciful love of God shining
through the whole Easter Triduum and the whole Easter mystery.
The Chaplet of Divine Mercy is an intercessory prayer on the
basis of the Passion of Christ, and the Image of the Divine Mercy
(before which the Novena is usually recited) is primarily a
manifestation of the Risen Christ. The Novena of Chaplets (with
the Image), therefore, helps us to focus our minds and hearts on
the Paschal Mystery – the death and resurrection of Christ
The Paschal Candle is clearly a symbol of the risen Christ.
The Image of the Divine Mercy, on the other hand, is an icon or
holy image, a pictorial representation of the risen Christ. If the
Octave Day of Easter is truly meant to be, as Saint John Paul II
once said, a day of “thanksgiving for the goodness God has
shown to man in the whole Easter mystery”, then we should not
be surprised, at all, that He promised the most extraordinary
spiritual benefits to those who come to Holy Communion, on that
day, in a state of grace, and with the disposition of trust in His
merciful love. After all, what better day could there be in the
liturgical calendar for such a generous outpouring of divine grace
than the day that recapitulates and completes the greatest annual
celebration of the Paschal mystery?
As Our Lord said to St. Faustina, on this special day of the
Church’s liturgical year “the very depths of my tender mercy are
open. I pour out a whole ocean of graces upon these souls who
approach the fount of My Mercy… On that day, all the divine
floodgates through which graces flow, are opened. Let no soul
fear to draw near to Me, even though its sins be as
scarlet.” (from the Diary, entry# 699).

Niedziela Miłosierdzia Bożego
Święto Miłosierdzia obchodzone jest w pierwszą niedzielę po Wielkanocy,
czyli II Niedzielę Wielkanocną, zwaną obecnie Niedzielą Miłosierdzia Bożego. Na
prośbę Episkopatu Polski Ojciec Święty Jan Paweł II w 1995 roku wprowadził to
święto dla wszystkich diecezji w Polsce. W dniu kanonizacji Siostry Faustyny 30
kwietnia 2000 roku Papież ogłosił to święto dla całego Kościoła.
Wybór pierwszej niedzieli po Wielkanocy nie jest przypadkowy – na ten dzień
przypada bowiem oktawa Zmartwychwstania Pańskiego, które wieńczy obchody
Misterium Paschalnego Chrystusa. Ten okres w liturgii Kościoła wyraźniej niż
pozostałe ukazuje tajemnicę miłosierdzia Bożego, która najpełniej została objawiona właśnie w
męce, śmierci i zmartwychwstaniu Chrystusa. Ustanowienie święta Miłosierdzia Bożego w
bezpośrednim sąsiedztwie liturgii męki i zmartwychwstania Chrystusa podkreśla źródło i
motyw przeżywanych tajemnic wiary. Ten związek dostrzegła św. Siostra Faustyna, która w
„Dzienniczku” napisała: Widzę, że złączone jest dzieło odkupienia z dziełem miłosierdzia, którego
żąda Pan(Dz. 89).
Święto Miłosierdzia jest nie tylko dniem wielkiej czci Boga w tajemnicy Jego miłosierdzia,
ale także dniem ogromnej łaski, ponieważ Pan Jezus związał z nim wielkie obietnice. Pan Jezus
powiedział, że w tym dniu otwarte są wszystkie upusty Boże, przez które płyną łaski; niech się
nie lęka zbliżyć do Mnie żadna dusza, chociażby grzechy jej były jako szkarłat (Dz. 699). W tym
dniu wszyscy ludzie, nawet ci, którzy wcześniej nie mieli nabożeństwa do Miłosierdzia Bożego i
dopiero się nawracają, mogą uczestniczyć we wszystkich łaskach, jakie Pan Jezus na to święto
przygotował. Jego obietnice dotyczą nie tylko łask nadprzyrodzonych, ale i doczesnych
dobrodziejstw, których zakres nie został ograniczony. Ludzie ufający mogą prosić o wszystko dla
siebie i innych, byleby przedmiot modlitwy zgodny był z wolą Bożą, czyli dobry dla człowieka w
perspektywie wieczności. Łaski potrzebne do zbawienia są zawsze zgodne z wolą Bożą, bo Bóg
niczego tak nie pragnie, jak zbawienia dusz, za które Jezus oddał swoje życie. Tak więc w święto
Miłosierdzia wszystkie łaski i dobrodziejstwa są dostępne dla wszystkich ludzi i wspólnot,
byleby o nie prosili z ufnością.
Inspiracją dla ustanowienia tego święta było pragnienie Jezusa, które przekazała Siostra
Faustyna. Pan Jezus powiedział do niej: „Pragnę, ażeby pierwsza niedziela po Wielkanocy była
świętem Miłosierdzia (Dz. 299). Pragnę, aby święto Miłosierdzia, było ucieczką i schronieniem
dla wszystkich dusz, a szczególnie dla biednych grzeszników. W dniu tym otwarte są
wnętrzności miłosierdzia Mego, wylewam całe morze łask na dusze, które się zbliżą do
źródła miłosierdzia Mojego. Która dusza przystąpi do spowiedzi i Komunii świętej, dostąpi
zupełnego odpuszczenia win i kar. W dniu tym otwarte są wszystkie upusty Boże, przez które
płyną łaski „(Dz. 699).
