DIVINE MERCY NOVENA BEGINS ON GOOD
FRIDAY, APRIL 3, 2026
In preparation for Divine Mercy Sunday, pray the Divine Mercy Novena beginning on Good Friday. Jesus said, "I desire that during these nine days you bring souls to the fountain of My mercy, that they may draw therefrom strength, and refreshment and whatever grace they have need of in the hardships of life, and especially at the hour of death" (Diary, 1209).
· On Divine Mercy Sunday, Jesus restores our baptismal soul to us. To fittingly observe Divine Mercy Sunday in a solemn way, we should:
· Celebrate the Feast on the Sunday after Easter.
· Sincerely repent of all our sins.
· Place our complete trust in Jesus.
· Go to Confession, preferably before that Sunday.
· Receive Holy Communion on the day of the Feast.
· Venerate the Image of The Divine Mercy (To venerate a sacred image or statue simply means to perform some act or make some gesture of deep religious respect toward it because of the person whom it represents, in this case, our most merciful Savior).
Be merciful to others, through our actions, words, and prayers on their behalf.
You will find Divine Mercy brochures in the vestibule of our church. Please take one home.

Eucharistic Adoration
Eucharistic Adoration at Mater Dolorosa is now Monday through Friday from 6:00 a.m. until 7:00 p.m., every weekday (only paused by Mass at 8:00 a.m. and 12:00 Noon).
You may want to consider signing up to spend time in adoration of our Lord by filling out the sign-up sheets found in the pews. However, no need to sign up, in order to feel free to drop in to your church for some quiet time with God.
Praise be to Jesus Christ for our new chapel is finally
completed! There will be many ways to make good spiritual use of our new chapel. Some of which will be special Masses for small groups of people, Novenas after Mass, Eucharistic Adoration on weekends and during functions or weddings, and private prayer. It will be open from 6:00 a.m. until 7:00 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and until 6:30 p.m. on Sundays.
Beginning on April 11th, Eucharistic Adoration will be extended to
Saturdays from 10:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. You may fill out a sign up sheet to commit to a time, or just drop in to spend more time with our Lord, Jesus Christ, for this meaningful,
powerful practice.
