Divine Mercy

Jesus commanded me to celebrate the Feast of God's Mercy on the First Sunday after Easter. [This I did] through interior recollection and exterior mortification, wearing the belt for three hours and praying continuously for sinners and for mercy on the whole world. And Jesus said tome, My eyes rest with pleasure upon this house today.
From Divine Mercy in My Soul Diary of Sister M. Faustina Kowalska, published by Marian Press, Stockbridge, MA.

I am currently reading the Diary of St. Faustina. The above passage tells us when the first Divine Mercy Sunday was celebrated by St. Faustina. As you can see, she commemorated it privately.
