Divine Mercy | Saint John Paul II National Shrine

Sister Donata speaks to a group at the JP2 Shrine.

The Saint John Paul II National Shrine is pleased to be able to work cooperatively with the Congregation of the Sisters of Our Lady of Mercy to help foster and spread the Divine Mercy message that was entrusted to St. Faustina and that St. John Paul II was so instrumental in bringing to the world.

3:00 p.m.: The Hour of Mercy

The hour of Christ’s Passion – when Jesus died for the salvation of all – is remembered daily at 3:00 p.m. with special meditation according to Jesus’ wishes and prayer with the Divine Mercy Chaplet for the intentions of all the pilgrims and benefactors as well as the whole aching mankind.
