The message of The Divine Mercy is simple. It is that God loves us – all of us. And, He wants us to recognize that His mercy is greater than our sins, so that we will call upon Him with trust, receive His mercy, and let it flow through us to others. Thus, all will come to share His joy. From the Marian Fathers of the Immaculate Conception, promoters of the authentic Divine Mercy message since 1941, this free app offers the complete message and devotion in an easy to navigate format. • Interactive Chaplet of Divine Mercy with multiple audio voices. • Daily meditations from the Diary of St. Faustina. • Configurable prayer reminders. • Hundreds of quotes from the Diary of St. Faustina organized by themes. • Interactive novenas to The Divine Mercy, St. Faustina, and St. John Paul II. • Interactive Way of the Cross. Discover why the message of Divine Mercy is the largest grassroots movement in the history of the Catholic Church. "There is nothing that man needs more than Divine Mercy." – St. John Paul II "Devotion to Divine Mercy is not a secondary devotion, but an integral dimension of a Christian's faith and prayer." – Pope Benedict XVI
