Thank you for this excellent sermon - all those who do not understand or even confusedly reject this devotion need to listen to this.

Thank you Father for your wonderful explanation of Divine Mercy. A persons past sins can at times overwhelm them, and they can begin to focus only on Gods justice rather than in Gods mercy. What a wonderful God we have to show us sinners so much mercy.

This is a beautiful presentation. Thank you God for sending us shepherds.

Very informative

I always learn so many things! Thank you for educating us Padre! God bless you! When a Catholic understands the beauty of their religion, they can then fight for The Church, die for it to defend The Truth. God bless you. Happy Feast of the Divine Mercy to all. Jesus I trust in you

Jesus I Trust in You🙏💕Have mercy on me and on the whole world

We love you Fr. Wolfe!

I struggled to understand Divine Mercy and this cleared up a bit. Hopefully I will be prepared for this Sunday after Easter. Pax Christi

Nothing is more confusing to me than the controversies around the Divine Mercy devotion of Saint Faustina, may God help us

The quality of mercy is not strain'd, It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven Upon the place beneath: it is twice blest; It blesseth him that gives and him that takes: 'Tis mightiest in the mightiest: it becomes The throned monarch better than his crown; His sceptre shows the force of temporal power, The attribute to awe and majesty, Wherein doth sit the dread and fear of kings; But mercy is above this sceptred sway; It is enthroned in the hearts of kings, It is an attribute to God himself; And earthly power doth then show likest God's When mercy seasons justice.

Mercy before Justice is a modernist understanding of God. Since God is absolutely simple there can be no real distinction between the divine substance and each of the attributes, nor any real distinction between the different attributes. All is God is one simple, infinite and all perfect Being. However, it is according to our way of thinking, knowing about God from creatures, that we distinguish between the attributes of God. The distinction is consequently in our reason, but truly founded on the reality of the world around us, whose perfections come from God. In His indivisible simplicity, God is all His attributes to a supereminent degree.

Your comment is completely irrelevant. There is a virtual distinction between the justice and the mercy of God, that is we can speak of 2 different concepts. Because we can speak of 2 distinct concepts in our mind, it is appropriate to predicate things to the mercy of God and to predicate other things to the justice of God even though in reality they are identical to the divine essence. You seem to have misunderstood Saint Thomas Aquinas as if he was saying that there is no distinction between justice and mercy of God but he’s not saying that. Justice and mercy of God are two different concepts and therefore are distinct in our mind when we treat of them. It doesn’t change anything if in reality they are identical to the divine essence.

Zach M. I also maintain that those who are punished in Gehenna are scourged by the scourge of love. For what is so bitter and vehement as the punishment of love? I mean that those who have become conscious that they have sinned against love suffer greater torment from this than from any fear of punishment. For the sorrow caused in the heart by sin against love is sharper than any torment that can be. It would be improper for a man to think that sinners in Gehenna are deprived of the love of God. Love is the offspring of knowledge of the truth which, as is commonly confessed, is given to all. The power of love works in two ways: it torments those who have played the fool, even as happens here when a friend suffers from a friend; but it becomes a source of joy for those who have observed its duties. Thus I say that this is the torment of Gehenna: bitter regret. But love inebriates the souls of the sons of Heaven by its delectability. (I.28, p. 266) Saint Isaac of Nineveh

No, what it is “Let Me save you from what you will do to yourself” this is a call to repentance, The Lord is offering to save you from *your* sins

The heart is covered and no wounds, detracts from sacred heart. Was rejected by vatican until JPII approved it randomly. Why not approve all devotions? Annihilated heart etc? Why not have all the heart devotions?

There are theological mistakes in the divine mercy chaplet of s. Faustina. 1) The divinity of the son is the same as the divinity of the father. Therefore it cannot be offered up to the father. 2) You cannot offer up the divinity of God to God. In order to offer something up you have to first kill it. For example Jesus died on the cross and offered up his humanity to God; or the Jews offered up sheep that they had to kill. God cannot be killed; therefore you cannot offer God up. 3) God cannot be a sacrifice for the atonement of sins. Concretely, God forgives sins and the human nature of Jesus is the sacrifice for the atonement of sins.

@@Monaghan3000 what is sacrificed or offered is the body & blood of Christ. His human nature that is why he became incarnate & took on flesh. What is then present in Eucharist after consecration is body, blood, soul & Divinity. Two separate distinctions between: OFFERED & PRESENT. What the previous post said was correct & was the held position by the Servant of God Father Wincent Granat a leading Polish dogmatic theologian & most of the Church pre V2. It was one of the reasons why the Devotion was banned by the Holy Office In 1959.

As a faithful Catholic it gives me no pleasure to point out that this video makes several bizarre claims. For starters, it is fundamentally unjust and disingenuous to compare a controversial, Vatican-banned private devotion pushed on the faithful during a period of widespread chaos and doctrinal confusion with those devotions that have been formally vetted and officially approved in a period of solid, unassailable doctrinal orthodoxy and fidelity within the Church. Second, the Church carefully investigated and looked into the good Sister and her theologically suspect, and thus formally banned Diary and found that both were unworthy of being believed and promoted. Why else would the Church forbid, not once, but twice in 1956 and again in 1959, the promotion of the Diary, the devotion, and the painting? Need we say more? Nevertheless, we can say more! Is it any coincidence that it was during the Modernist-controlled presidency of Pope John Paul II, we can't say "reign" because he refused to be crowned, that the Diary, the devotion, and the painting were rehabilitated? Was a clear theological explanation ever given as to why all three things had been forbidden by the Church? No, it was never offered. Mind you, would we even be having this discussion today had clear theological reasons been given for the controversial rehabilitation? No, we would not. The debate, division, and scandal surrounding Faustina, her Diary, and her "Divine Mercy" devotion have regrettably inflicted on the Church are all but a part of the Modernist corruption the Church currently is being forced to suffer. To most Catholics faithful to the Church's Magisterium, only a return to fidelity to Catholic Tradition will return harmony, peace, and good order to the Church.

Greetings, You are condemning the devotion out of frustration with those running the Church, and that is what's "unjust and disingenuous." The actual removing of her diary from the index was accompanied with the reason for it's lifting, "This Sacred Congregation, having now in possession the many original documents unknown in 1959, and having taken into account the profoundly changed circumstances, and having taken into account the opinion of many Polish Ordinaries, declares no longer binding the prohibitions contained in the Notification [of 1959].” One of the lines that likely caused issue was one that had St. Faustina say, "I am The Divine Mercy." Clearly, if that's in the works of a nun, there's a problem. You then insinuate that the feast/devotion is modernist. How? I have heard people claim (though I don't know if it's true) that St. John Paul II said there was no hell, which would of course be wrong. That particular idea, hell not existing or that no one goes there, is something of which runs down the modernist line, isn't it? Which is how they justify many of their views. Allow me to share with you a quote from St. Faustina, and I'd like you to consider whether this is modernist, these are entries 740-741: "Today, I was led by an Angel to the chasms of hell. It is a place of great torture; how awesomely large and extensive it is! The kinds of tortures I saw: the first torture that constitutes hell is the loss of God; the second is perpetual remorse of conscience; the third is that one's condition will never change; the fourth is the fire that will penetrate the soul without destroying it-a terrible suffering, since it is a purely spiritual fire, lit by God's anger; the fifth torture is continual darkness and a terrible suffocating smell, and, despite the darkness, the devils and the souls of the damned see each other and all the evil, both of others and their own; the sixth torture is the constant company of Satan; the seventh torture is horrible despair, hatred of God, vile words, curses and blasphemies. These are the tortures suffered by all the damned together, but that is not the end of the sufferings. There are special tortures destined for particular souls. These are the torments of the senses. Each soul undergoes terrible and indescribable sufferings, related to the manner in which it has sinned. There are caverns and pits of torture where one form of agony differs from another. I would have died at the very sight of these tortures if the omnipotence of God had not supported me. Let the sinner know that he will be tortured throughout all eternity, in those senses which he made use of to sin. I am writing this at the command of God, so that no soul may find an excuse by saying there is no hell, or that nobody has ever been there, and so no one can say what it is like. I, Sister Faustina, by the order of God, have visited the abysses of hell so that I might tell souls about it and testify to its existence. I cannot speak about it now; but I have received a command from God to leave it in writing. The devils were full of hatred for me, but they had to obey me at the command of God. What I have written is but a pale shadow of the things I saw. But I noticed one thing: that most of the souls there are those who disbelieved that there is a hell. When I came to, I could hardly recover from the fright. How terribly souls suffer there! Consequently, I pray even more fervently for the conversion of sinners. I incessantly plead God's mercy upon them. O my Jesus, I would rather be in agony until the end of the world, amidst the greatest sufferings, than offend You by the least sin." Additionally, in fact, the pamphlets for the novena have been modified. One of the days was for the conversion of heretics and schismatics. I can prove that, if you want. I can also provide you with the passage that shows she foresaw the condemning, but eventual uncondemning of Her diary, if you’d like. As to the “division” caused by The Divine Mercy, the only division caused there is from people who haven’t read it, or have fallen for inadequate objections; actually, I think it’s something that can unite Catholics, not divide them.

Disappointing to see you endorse this false devotion which was once condemned by the Holy Office that makes a mockery of the Sacred Heart.

UnPoeteMaudit it's not a false devotion. It's doesn't mock anything. You ever read the book? Most that slam it never have. Modern day jansenists trash this devotion like the jansenists trashed the sacred heart devotion. Also other saint books made the index this is not uncommon. It's a beautiful devotion.

If you have the outdated information from the 1960s, that was based on an incorrect translation into the Italian from the Polish, then you would be correct with that assessment: however, in the 1980s, under Pope John Paul the Great, it was not only brought to light, but The Divine Mercy Devotion was highly commended as Biblical and necessary for the times we are living in....Please know your facts!
