Through Pope John Paul II, the Church has declared that the second Sunday of Easter will also be known as Divine Mercy Sunday. On this Sunday, which is also the eighth day in the octave of Easter, a special emphasis is made on thanking God for His Divine Mercy and proclaiming the message that God's Divine Mercy is available to all.

The Divine Mercy is an online ministry of the Congregation of Marians of the Immaculate Conception. Along with information on the Marians and their ministries, this site also provides a number of online resources. These include news and special Divine Mercy events, information about the Divine Mercy Shrine, and a section on the Divine Mercy devotion which provides users with the opportunity to deepen their relationship with our Lord Jesus.
