Vilnius, Lithuania (CNA) Among Catholic devotions, the Divine Mercy message is well-known: the iconic image of Christ, with rays of red and white pouring from his heart; St. Faustina, called the Apostle of Divine Mercy; and the Basilica of Divine Mercy in Krakow, Poland.
But what you might not know is that more than 450 miles north of Krakow, in the Lithuanian capital Vilnius, there is another Sanctuary of Divine Mercy, one which houses the first image of the merciful Jesus created, and the only Image of Divine Mercy St. Faustina herself ever saw.
Archbishop Gintaras Grusas of Vilnius told CNA that the city, often called the City of Mercy, is not only a place of the Divine Mercy revelations, but also a place that is in need of mercy, throughout history, and a place that in the last couple decades has been a place where we need to show mercy.
The original Image of Divine Mercy: It s not where you might think

“Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive men’s sins, they are forgiven them.” John 20:22-23
In the evening of the day on which He rose from the dead, Jesus came to His disciples, showed them His nail-scarred hands and wounded side, breathed on them, gave them the Holy Spirit, and sent them out (Jn 20:19-22). Jesus sent His disciples out not to just make a general announcement of His Resurrection but to specifically invite us to confess our sins and be forgiven (see Jn 20:23; Lk 24:47; Acts 2:38; 3:19; 5:31; 10:43; 13:38).
One of the first merciful acts of the risen Christ was to begin developing the Sacrament of Reconciliation for the forgiveness of sins. One of the first things we need to do this Easter season is repent and go to Confession. When we remove the planks of sin from our own eyes, then we can see clearly enough to invite others to repent, forgive, go to Confession, be forgiven (Mt 7:5), and be immersed in the limitless mercy of God.

+ April 08, 2021 WE MAY have been forgiven for our sins sacramentally confessed, but we will have to pay for them on earth and, if death strikes too soon, in Purgatory. But this coming Sunday, we have the chance to scrap such debt. It will be Divine Mercy Sunday that, as decreed by the late St. Pope John Paul II, gives us the chance to avail ourselves of Plenary Indulgence- a total remission of purgation owed for sins.
There are two things that can be had this Divine Mercy Sunday: the special graces promised by Our Lord Jesus, and the Plenary Indulgence offered by the Church for special devotions to the Divine Mercy
