MY CONFESSION of Divine Mercy Feast FINALLY COMES! 🙏

April 12, 2026 • Sunday

Feast of Divine Mercy ❤️🕊️

Finally, the day I have been waiting for has arrived! Today is the Feast of Divine Mercy, the day of great grace and forgiveness. My heart was set on going to confession and starting fresh with God.

I went to San Diego Alcala Parish in Polo, Valenzuela City. I woke up very early, around 3:00 AM, because I really wanted to catch the 5:00 AM First Holy Mass. I was a bit hesitant at first, remembering what happened last time when the priests asked me to wait for another mass, and I really didn't want to wait or delay today. So, I made up my mind to go for the very first mass to make sure I could finish everything smoothly.

I wore my white Divine Mercy t-shirt, feeling close to Jesus, and brought all my prayers deep in my heart. Everything went well! I was able to go to Confession, attend the Holy Mass, and receive Holy Communion. I felt so light and blessed after receiving all the sacraments. When I got home, I was so exhausted physically that I fell asleep immediately and slept for hours.

But then, something strange happened. I was awakened by a heavy, cold feeling in the air—a strong energy that urged me urgently to search on Google about "Plenary Indulgence." Without any hesitation, I grabbed my phone and looked it up right away.

I read that to gain the Total Remission of all sins and punishments specifically on this day of Divine Mercy, there are requirements needed:

1. Prayer for the Plenary Indulgence (for myself and the souls)

2. Prayer for the Holy Father

3. Praying one full decade of the Rosary (Sorrowful Mysteries

When I realized this, I felt I needed to complete it immediately! I quickly changed my clothes. I wore my long red dress, a light blue jacket, and rushed back to the church. I arrived there around 5:30 PM.

I told myself, "I will wait for the 6:00 PM last mass."

The church was so full of people and crowd because it was such a special day. Even though I felt a little shy and my emotions were going up and down, I didn't mind. I stayed and waited. While waiting, I prayed the Sorrowful Mysteries, one full decade, asking God to grant me the Plenary Indulgence.

I stayed until the end. I finished the 30 minutes Adoration, spent time focusing on the scriptures, and meditated on the Way of the Cross. Even though I was tired and the place was crowded, my spirit was so fulfilled. I know God saw my effort and my sincere heart today. All glory to His Mercy! 🙏✨🛐

Ps. Here is the importance of Divine mercy feast :

Confession on Divine Mercy Sunday (the Sunday after Easter) is critical because Jesus promised it as the key to receiving complete forgiveness of sins and all punishment. It acts as a "second baptism" or a total renewal of grace, allowing souls to enter a state of complete spiritual cleansing.

Key Aspects of the Importance:

• Extraordinary Grace: Jesus promised that a soul that goes to Confession and receives Holy Communion on this day will obtain complete forgiveness of sins and punishment.

• A "Last Resort": The Feast is described as a sanctuary for all souls, particularly sinners, with all divine floodgates for graces opened on this day.

• Requirements: While the confession should be done around the time of the feast, it does not necessarily have to be on the day itself; rather, it should be in a state of grace, trusting in God's mercy.

• Total Remission: Unlike typical sacramental confessions which forgive sins, this specific act of confession on Divine Mercy Sunday—combined with receiving communion and trusting in His mercy—removes the temporal punishment due to forgiven sins. 

The celebration of the feast was requested by Jesus to Saint Faustina, stating that the feast is the biggest promise of grace in the entire devotion.
