Divine Mercy Sunday
This afternoon at 3 pm we will have a EUCHARISTIC LITURGY to mark the end of the Divine Mercy Novena which began on Good Friday. We welcome everyone to come and join with us to mark the Feast of Divine Mercy, even if you have not done the Novena.
A Prayer of Trust by Blessed Fr. Michael Sopocko
(Spiritual Director of St. Faustina)
Holy Spirit, give me the grace of unwavering trust when I think of Our Lord’s merits, and of fearful trust when I think of my own weakness. When poverty comes knocking at my door; Jesus, I Trust in You, when sickness lays me low, or injury cripples me; Jesus, I Trust in You. When the world pushes me aside, and pursues me with its hatred; Jesus, I Trust in You. When I am besmirched by calumny, and pierced through by bitterness; Jesus, I Trust in You. When my friends abandon me, and wound me by word and deed; Jesus, I Trust in You. Spirit of love and Mercy, be to me a refuge, a sweet consolation, a blessed hope, that in all the most trying circumstances of my life I may never cease to trust in You”.
