: On this day Our Lord grants us a great
grace, i.e. “On that day the very depths
of My Tender Mercy are open. I pour out
a whole ocean of graces upon those souls
who approach the Fount of My Mercy.
The soul that will go to Confession and
receive Holy Communion shall obtain
complete forgiveness of sins and
punishment. On that day all the divine
floodgates through which graces flow are
opened”. Our Divine Mercy celebrations
at Llay begin at 2.55pm. Everyone is
welcome. See the notice in the porch.
However, please note that our priest has
to be in the Cathedral for Solemn Vespers

normal way, starting at 2.55pm.
