How to Celebrate Divine Mercy Sunday (Sunday after Easter)

Divine Mercy Sunday reminds us of how deeply God loves us and how ready He is to forgive. It’s a beautiful opportunity to help children understand mercy—not just as an idea, but as something we live out.

Enjoy a Sweet Treat


“Divine Mercy Sundaes” are a simple and meaningful way to celebrate.

  • Vanilla ice cream with whipped cream, strawberries, and blueberries
    The red and white reflect the rays of Divine Mercy—blood and water flowing from Christ’s heart.

Make a Divine Mercy Pop-Up Card Craft


Use your Divine Mercy craft from the printable pack to create a pop-up card. As children build it, talk about the words “Jesus, I trust in You” and what it means to trust Him, especially when things feel uncertain.

Live It Out


Choose one spiritual or corporal work of mercy to do together—something simple like helping a neighbor, praying for someone, or offering forgiveness.

Pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet


Pray together, even just a portion, in front of a Divine Mercy image. This is a simple tradition that can become very meaningful over time.
