Q. How can I receive extraordinary graces on Divine Mercy Sunday?

A. In order to receive the extraordinary graces, you should prepare by making a good confession, so that you can receive Holy Communion in a state of grace on Divine Mercy Sunday. In addition, Our Lord asked St. Faustina to be sure to perform acts of mercy, and to come to Him in Holy Communion with great trust in His mercy. 

Yes, the first Sunday after Easter is the Feast of Mercy, but there must also be acts of mercy (Diary 742).

The graces of My mercy are drawn by means of one vessel only, and that is trust. The more a soul trusts, the more it will receive (Diary 1578).
