Worshippers gather for a prayer service celebrated in English and Polish marking Divine Mercy Sunday at St. Stanislaus Kostka Church in the Greenpoint section of Brooklyn, April 7, 2024. Divine Mercy Sunday, which falls on the Second Sunday of Easter, was established in 2000 by St. John Paul II during his canonization of St. Faustina Kowalska, a 20th-century Polish nun and mystic who had visions of Jesus as the Divine Mercy. The iconic Divine Mercy image includes the words "Jesus, I Trust in You." (OSV News photo/Gregory A. Shemitz)
