What do we mean by "Divine Mercy"? How does God seek to help His creatures overcome their miseries? How do we receive the graces of Divine Mercy Sunday? Father Chris explains. 

Fr. Chris Alar, MIC Talks on Mary and Divine Mercy and Fatima at the 2017 Divine Mercy Weekend Conference at the National Shrine of the Divine Mercy Stockbridge, Massachusetts.
