The Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary

We are called to honor Mary through devotion to her Immaculate Heart. She, who never knew sin, who always followed the will of the Father, who in her womb carried Christ and in turn is the co-Redemptrix with Him is our Mother, too. We console our Lord and our Lady by sharing in her sorrows beginning with the Presentation and continuing throughout His life onto the Passion.

Divine Mercy

In 1933, Sr. Faustina experienced a vision of our Lord’s mercy. She saw Christ crucified and God, the father looking down toward the earth through the wounds of Christ. In 1935, she saw an angel about to avenge the Lord’s wrath upon the earth. She begged God for mercy for the world. The angel did not carry out the just punishment. The next day an inner voice taught her how to recite the Chaplet of Divine Mercy using ordinary rosary beads.
