Hit the Reset Button on Your Soul: The Promises of Divine Mercy Sunday (Morning Air)

from The Best of the Week · host Relevant Radio

This chat between John Morales and Dr. Bryan Thatcher on Morning Air is so inspiring that it makes you want to sprint to confession and dive headfirst into the arms of Jesus!     What Is Divine Mercy Sunday Anyway?   Divine Mercy Sunday (the Sunday after Easter) is like God’s massive heavenly floodgate being thrown wide open. Imagine Niagara Falls 🌊... but instead of water, it’s GRACE pouring down!   Dr. Thatcher explains that if you:   -Go to Mass 🙏   -Confess your sins within the allotted time period   -Receive Holy Communion    -And TRUST Jesus’ mercy 💖   ...then your soul gets wiped clean.     Mercy: Not Just a Message, But a Way of Life   Dr. Thatcher says: Divine Mercy is a whole lifestyle: a spirituality of:   -Trusting when things go nuclear ☢️   -Loving when it’s inconvenient 😅   -Serving when you’d rather binge-watch TV📺   Dr. Thatcher tells the amazing story of a woman who begged God on Divine Mercy Sunday to free her son from heroin addiction... and the very next day, he decided to quit. A year later, he was still clean. That's the power of Jesus’ mercy.        Easter, Mercy, and That One Unbreakable Anchor   Everything about Easter ties directly into Divine Mercy! 👉 Jesus dies and rises because of LOVE. 👉 Divine Mercy Sunday caps off the Easter Octave with a giant "come back to me" from Jesus...no matter how messy your life is. Even if your life feels like it’s falling apart (bank account in freefall 📉, marriage on the rocks 🥴,) ... you can still find your whole identity in Jesus.   His mercy is bigger than your biggest mess.     Those Little Details That Melt Your Heart   Dr. Thatcher shared some breathtaking little nuggets too:   -St. Faustina once fed a poor beggar in Poland, only to realize it was Jesus Himself.    -Faustina was bi-located (yes, she was in two places at once) to the Last Supper. She understood that the essence of Jesus' sacrifice on the Cross culminates in His gift to us in the Eucharist.    -The Divine Mercy Chaplet is especially powerful when prayed for the dying; it literally chases demons away at a soul’s final hour.      🛟 ABC to Prepare for Divine Mercy Sunday from Dr. Bryan Thatcher: A - Ask for mercy. (Seriously. Ask.) B - Be merciful to others. (Even that annoying coworker.) C - Completely trust in Jesus. (Even when you feel like screaming into a pillow.)     Final Thought: Divine Mercy is about trusting in Jesus' perfect mercy in spite of our imperfection.   So, this Divine Mercy Sunday, don’t just tiptoe into church. ⚡️Run in like a spiritual linebacker, hands wide open, heart ready for a total makeover.   And remember: Jesus, I trust in You.   Always. 🫶       The best way to listen to the Best of the Week is on our #1 Free Catholic App. It’s free and always will be!
