Divine Mercy Sunday is coming up soon! If you're not familiar with St. Faustina and the appearances of Jesus, I would encourage you to read up! It's a great story and devotion. The most obvious things to do to celebrate Divine Mercy Sunday would be to go to confession, and pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet. If you've got that all under control, be sure and check out some of these ideas. :-)
I LOVE this Divine Mercy Chaplet Craft I found over
on Making Music Praying Twice! So cute, and what a
great way to teach your kids about praying the chaplet!
(The files are free to print for this, too!)
That Resource Site has lots of St. Faustina resources
including Printable St. Faustina Trading Cards!
Find many educational Divine Mercy printables here
along with a great coloring page, a craft, and more!
Want to make a Divine Mercy Lapbook?

Relevant Radio has a St. Faustina Coloring Page

Print this Divine Mercy Prayer Ring
with Diary of a Sower.
An easy and fun way to celebrate Divine Mercy Sunday
would be to make a Divine Mercy Sundae.
Consider tie dying a Divine Mercy shirt! We had
so much fun making these!!!

Also, we are definitely listening to our Glory Stories CD
with the story of St. Faustina for kids! :-)
There's actually a song that goes through the Chaplet of Divine Mercy, and you can listen to it here. You can also order a CD with the Chaplet of Divine Mercy in Song.
Also, reading the entire diary of St. Faustina
is definitely on my to-do list!

Awesome compilation of faith-filled activities, Lacy. thanks for featuring my Divine Mercy Lapbook. I'll be checking out the Divine Mercy prayer cards at Holy Reflections -- I love that site.
ReplyDeleteThe Divine Mercy for kids through EWTN is really good and child-friendly. I actually recorded it straight off EWTN for my kids but you can watch it on there or order a DVD ;)
ReplyDeleteAs always I loved your links. The link to the DMC song is my favorite. It takes longer to sing it - but to sing is to pray twice! It makes my skin tingle with goosebumps whenever I hear it. While the rosary has lots of merit, Chaplets like this are more likely to be said by my children with short attention spans. We liked making the Divine Mercy paper statue, and will bring them out on the Feast Day. I printed the first printable you listed, which will be great for my kids that read, and fun to color for my little ones. Thanks again!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! :) I love all these things!! And... we should add some John Paul II stuff too - he's being beatified!!! :)
ReplyDeleteWoww, I love your ideas! You're really inspired by the Hole Spirit. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking for an idea of making a rosary with recycled material... If you have something, please don't forget me.
Thanks in advance.
Peace of Jesus and Love of Mary, be with you and your family.
Bye Ju

Could you please prolong them a bit from next time?
Thank you for the post.
