Cardinal Timothy Dolan, archbishop of New York and a frequent guest at the Marian Fathers' Divine Mercy Conference in Bronx, New York, will be the principal celebrant at the National Shrine of The Divine Mercy for the Solemn Liturgy at 1 p.m. on Divine Mercy Sunday, April 12.
Cardinal Dolan is one of the best-known Catholic prelates in the United States today, boldly proclaiming the Catholic faith in its fullness through his media appearances, books, blog, and many ministries.
Saint Faustina will also be in the spotlight. On Saturday evening of Divine Mercy Sunday Weekend, the Marian Fathers will host St. Luke Productions' live drama Faustina: Messenger of Divine Mercy in place of their usual Mercy Weekend Conference. Created with the expert assistance of the Marians, this show powerfully tells the story of St. Faustina and her call from Jesus to become the Apostle of Divine Mercy.
"Leonardo Defilippis and his dedicated team at St. Luke Productions have pulled off something of a miracle with their 90-minute production," said Fr. Michael Gaitley, MIC, director of the Marians' Evangelization and Development Office. "I encountered Faustina and the message of Divine Mercy on a new and deeper level."
On Saturday and Sunday, tents will be set up on Eden Hill for prayer, activities, and groups associated with the Marians. Tents will be available for confessions, Adoration, the Divine Mercy Gift Shop, and more.
One highlight of the weekend will be the prayer banner composed of thousands of pieces of cloth, with each one bearing a Marian Helper's prayer intention for Divine Mercy Sunday. In the spirit of the World Meeting of Families in September and the Ordinary Synod on the Family in October, this year's theme is "Families Enveloped in Mercy, 2015."
If you can't make it to the Shrine for Divine Mercy Sunday, don't worry! You also can view the National Shrine's celebration live on EWTN (Eternal Word Television Network) on April 12. The show begins at noon EST.
