Our God of Infinite Mercy
The Sunday after Easter is known as the Sunday of Divine Mercy. On this day, we can seek out a plenary indulgence.
How can we share in this grace?
As with all indulgenced acts, one would attend Holy Mass on the day it has been granted. So, simply satisfying one's normative duty to observe the Lord's Day through Holy Mass would fulfill this (Sunday or Saturday vigil on the weekend after Easter). One would take part in the sacrament of confession either 20 days before/after this indulgenced day. On that day, one would pray for the intentions of the Pope (at least through the offering of one "Our Father" & one "Apostle’s Creed") and seek to participate in public devotions in the church.
Immediately after the 5:00 pm & 8:30 am Mass of that weekend, we will pray together the Chaplet of Divine Mercy (this will count toward the “public devotion” requirement). Also, immediately following the 10:30 AM Mass, we will have a time of Eucharistic adoration and other devotional practices in honor of Jesus’ mercy. This would "satisfy" the requirements necessary to obtain the plenary indulgence for oneself or for someone who has died.
If you would like to pray the chaplet of Divine Mercy at 3:00 pm on that Sunday, you are welcome to do so: the church will be open for your convenience.
