## Resource

Our God is a merciful God, and that is ever-present especially in the sacrament of reconciliation or confession. Catholic Review Editor Christopher Gunty talked with Father Michael DeAscanis , pastor of St. Louis Parish in Clarksville and St. Francis of Assisi Parish in Fulton, about his great joy in bringing people back into communion with God through confession. They also discuss St. Faustina and the Divine Mercy devotion promoted by the woman who saw Jesus with mercy pouring from his heart in the early part of the 20th century. Learn more about how and why the Church celebrates the feast of Divine Mercy on the Sunday after Easter each year.
