A Year with Divine Mercy: Daily Meditations on God’s Eternal Love

A year after the publication of his encyclical Dives in Misericordia on the Divine Mercy of God and after his long recuperation from an assassin’s bullet, Pope John Paul II visited the Shrine of Merciful Love in Collevalenza, Italy. It was there, on November 22, 1981, that he delivered this most urgent message: “Merciful love is more powerful than any evil that gathers upon man and upon the world.” Following the central message of Divine Mercy that St. Faustina received from Christ, Vinny Flynn and Erin Flynn have collected passages from a wide variety of sources on the mercy of God and the sacred heart of Christ. Here are prayers and reflections for every day of the year from popes, Church Fathers, saints, scholars, and Scripture on the healing power of God’s mercy. 

A Year with the Divine Mercy offers an ideal opportunity to prayerfully reflect a few moments every day on the transformative power of God’s merciful love.
