Easter isn’t just a one-day celebration. It’s an octave in the Catholic Church - an 8-day feast, beginning on Easter Sunday and ending on Divine Mercy Sunday. In this episode, Justin Hibbard explains the origin of Divine Mercy Sunday, its significance in connection to God’s nature as mercy, and how we can receive the extraordinary mercy offered to us on this important day.
