Blessed Michael Sopoćko: Why the Feast of the Divine Mercy
Hear Fr. Matthew Tomeny, MIC, read from Blessed Michael Sopoćko's article "The Feast of the Most Merciful Savior", arguing why the Feast of the Divine Mercy should be instituted and why Low Sunday (the Sunday after Easter) is the most suitable day for this feast. This article was originally published in Polish in 1947, and translated and published in English in 1952 by the Marians Fathers in Stockbridge, MA. (Nihil Obstat: Rt. Rev. Msgr. Grupa and Imprimatur: Edward Cardinal Mooney; Detroit, MI, 1951)

Christmas does not begin when the stores say it does. It begins with prayer. As Fr. Chris Alar, MIC explains, the Church enters Christmas at Vespers on Christmas Eve, because the mystery we celebrate is not sentimentality but the Incarnation itself — God entering history to heal what humanity could never repair on its own.
