In this Commentary Clip, Tony discusses the importance of Divine Mercy Sunday. As Tony explains, the celebration of Divine Mercy speaks directly to a mentality today which holds God, if there be a God, responsible for all the ills of the world by responding with the message that God has indeed taken Fatherly responsibility for the sin of the human family through the Paschal Mystery of the Incarnate Son. For our part, we need only to embrace His great Mercy.
