Behold, I make all things new” (Rev. 21:5). The Resurrection of Jesus, the cornerstone of our faith, ushers in a beautiful time of year. The reality of new life bursting forth can be seen right before our eyes and sensed within our hearts as the Easter season continues. Celebrate this season of growth and renewal by cultivating a garden in your yard and your newly spotless soul with these ideas for Divine Mercy Sunday and the month dedicated to Our Lady.

For an easy and delectable way to celebrate Jesus’ unfathomable mercy with your family, make a Divine Mercy sundae like the one at www.CatholicIcing.com. You can use variations, such as blue and red berries, to represent the rays that extend from the heart of Jesus in the Divine Mercy image. Keeping the day’s celebrations simple helps you focus on having received complete forgiveness of sin, which Jesus promises us on the feast of His mercy when you receive the Eucharist worthily on this day.
