Thanks for thr clarification.
So, the Diary refers to the Diary of Saint Kowalska?
Is this something widespread in the Catholic Church?
It's growing. Over 17,000 pilgrims traveled to the National Shrine of The Divine Mercy in Stockbridge MA this year to join the Marians of the Immaculate Conception as they celebrated the Feast of The Divine Mercy.
There were two days of Masses, speakers, music, and presentations. Fifty-two priests from four states participated in the weekend and over 1,000 confessions were heard. Two hundred and fifty-four buses arrived for the weekend with large pilgrimage groups of Filipinos, Hispanics, Haitians and French Creole in attendance. Individual pilgrims came from as far away as Equador, the Philippines, and Afghanistan.
The celebration from Eden Hill was broadcast live around the world by EWTN in English and Spanish to a potential viewing audience of over 22 million people, primarily in North and South America. It was the 14th time that EWTN had broadcast the celebration.
On Divine Mercy Sunday -- the eighth and final day of the Octave of Easter -- extraordinary graces are available to the faithful flowing from the Paschal Mystery of Christ's suffering, death, and resurrection. These graces were promised by Christ through private revelations granted to St. Faustina. The revelations are consistent with both Scripture and Catholic Church tradition.
