Our Liturgical celebration for today, Divine Mercy Sunday, reflects the devotional elements of Divine Mercy—We no longer look for Jesus among the dead, for He is alive and has become the Lord of Life. In a series of revelations to St. Maria Faustina Kowalska in the 1930s, our Lord called for a special feast day to be celebrated on the Sunday after Easter. In obedience to her spiritual director, Saint Faustina Kowalska wrote a diary of about 600 pages recording the revelations she received about God’s mercy. Even before her death in 1938,the devotion to The “Divine Mercy” had begun to spread.

Our Church (like every other Catholic Church in the world) looks different today. All the Shrines and the figures on our Rood Screen are veiled in Purple cloth. Why is this? Catholics veil statues, crucifixes, and other sacred images, particularly during the final two weeks of Lent (beginning on the Fifth Sunday of Lent, or “Passion Sunday”), as part of an ancient liturgical tradition. This practice, known as “Passiontide veiling,” carries both symbolic and spiritual significance.
