Hey Spouts, during the months of June and July, we will not be having new content here on the Catholic Sprouts podcast.

Instead, we will be revisiting some of my favorite weeks of content.

And here is one of those weeks.

Enjoy!

Hey there, Sprouts.

Today is Wednesday, May 8th, 2019. This week on the Catholic Sprouts podcast,

we are talking about the divine mercy. Now, we have already talked about what mercy is,

and that it is simply love's second name, that any time we show mercy to someone that is suffering in pain or trapped

in sin, we are really showing mercy and not just loving them, but showing mercy. We are also reminded

that God, who is love, every time he comes and loves us in our sin and suffering, it is an act of mercy.

Yesterday we talked about St. Faustina, the saint who God appeared to envisions with the

message of the divine mercy. We talked about what a mystic is and we reminded ourselves that God

revealed absolutely everything to

us 2,000 years ago, but he chooses sometimes to appear to saints in visions so that we might be

reminded of his teachings, or people might be called to a deeper conversion. Now, today we are going to

start talking about the actual details of the divine

mercy. When we talk about the divine mercy, there are five different ways that we celebrate or

acknowledge this devotion. There is a feast day. There is an image of the divine mercy. There is a novena, which is a prayer that we say over nine days.

There is a chaplet, which is a prayer said with rosary beads. And finally, there is an hour of mercy.

We're going to be talking about the first two, the feast day in the image today.
