The Most Reverend Robert Reed, Auxiliary Bishop and President of CatholicTV, “So many parishes have special time set aside each year on the Sunday after Easter for prayer and reflection on the gift of Divine Mercy. In these extraordinarily challenging days, we hope that these hours of devotion will help many to prayerfully explore the depths of God’s tremendous mercy.”

Michael Lavigne, Assistant Secretary for Evangelization & Discipleship, said, "The Divine Mercy message is fairly simple—God loves us and wants to share His life with us, now and eternally. This great news of joy for us! But this good news requires a response from us. We need to go to Him regularly and ask for His mercy. In turn, we have to let God’s mercy work through us by being instruments of mercy to each other by forgiving and not letting past or present hurts come between us. By asking for God’s mercy and being instruments of God’s mercy we can begin to share in the divine life now."
