DIVINE MERCY SUNDAY: The Second Sunday of Easter has been named Divine Mercy Sunday, a yearly invitation to Catholics to face, with confidence, the difficulties and trials that persons experience throughout the year. Devotion to Divine Mercy was promoted by Saint Faustina, a Polish nun born in Glogowiec, Poland, on August 25, 1905. She became a nun in the Congregation of the Sisters of Our Lady of Mercy. Beginning on February 22, 1931, and through her death in 1938, Saint Faustina received revelations and visits from Christ. In 1934, she began recording these in a diary, Divine Mercy in My Soul.

CANONIZATION: Canonization is the formal recognition by the Catholic Church of the heroic sanctity of one of its deceased members. By canonization a person’s name is entered in the list of saints meaning that it is forever part of the Church’s official list of those venerated universally by Catholics.  This weekend two recent Popes will be canonized in Rome. They are Angelo Giuseppe Roncalli (1881-1963), born in Italy and former Pope John XXIII, and Karol Jozef Wojtyla. (1920-2005) born in Wadowice, Poland and former Pope John Paul II.
