The Divine Mercy Congress
The Foundation organises large conventions on Divine Mercy, with a variety of programmes designed for wider gatherings of the faithful.
Through retreats, prayer, formation and acts of compassion, we seek to share the message of Divine Mercy with individuals, families and communities.
The greatest need of men and women in the present age is the Mercy of God. Who is there in the world who does not need God's Mercy?
Pope Benedict XVI spoke of mercy as a central message of our times. The Divine Mercy message was revealed to St. Faustina, and Pope Francis invites us to contemplate God's Mercy continually and to be merciful to others in word and deed.
St. John Paul II taught that Divine Mercy answers the deepest questions and expectations of human beings in a world marked by tragedy. Responding to this call, the Global Divine Mercy Foundation conducts retreats in Malayalam, English, Tamil and Hindi, with translation into other languages where possible.
Our Divine Mercy retreats are conducted both online and offline to help the faithful encounter the Merciful Lord in a deep and personal way.

Malayalam / English. At the request of parishes or communities, we organise three- to four-hour prayer services introducing the Divine Mercy message and inviting participants to experience God's unfathomable mercy.
The Global Divine Mercy Foundation offers two courses dedicated to understanding the Divine Mercy message and living out its call to compassion.
The Divine Mercy message goes beyond the Diary of St. Faustina. From the first words of the Bible to the teachings of the saints and Church Fathers, we rediscover God's Mercy.
Rev. Fr. Thomas Ambattukuzhiyil, an international resource person in Divine Mercy spirituality who has conducted retreats in Poland for the sisters of St. Faustina's congregation, teaches the theological foundations of Divine Mercy. Through sixty aspects of the message, the course unfolds the mystery of salvation.
Inspired by Pope Francis’s apostolic letter Misericordia et Misera and the writings of St. Faustina, this course responds to the need to face death as a passage charged with meaning. It prepares “Missionaries of Mercy” to accompany those nearing the end of life physically, mentally and spiritually.
Formation is offered to doctors, nurses, religious and devotees of Divine Mercy, helping them understand Christian death, as explained in the Catechism of the Catholic Church, and support people in their final journey. Seven batches had been conducted by March 2022. A diploma certificate is awarded to those who complete the course.
The message of Divine Mercy calls us not only to prayer, but also to concrete acts of love and service.
Divine Mercy asks that prayer be joined with the corporal works of mercy. The Samaritan Ministry reaches out to those in need, inspired by the vision of Rev. Fr. Thomas Ambattukuzhiyil and Rev. Fr. Joy Pulickal.
To become a Samaritan or learn more about this mission, please contact our office.
More than 120 posters, slides, video presentations and interactive sessions help parishes and communities encounter the Divine Mercy message in a retreat-like experience.
The exhibition is available in English and Malayalam. Please contact our office to arrange it for your parish.
Prayer groups connect devotees in a shared ministry of intercession and trust in God's Mercy.
Begun in January 2020, the Foundation's WhatsApp prayer groups unite brothers and sisters who pray the Chaplet of Divine Mercy for the dying. The Diary of St. Faustina repeatedly calls the faithful to intercede for people at the hour of death, praying that they may trust in God's Mercy.
Those who feel called to take part in this ministry are invited to contact our office.
Regiment of Mercy. A ministry begun under the guidance of Rev. Fr. Thomas Ambattukuzhiyil, encouraging daily prayer and indulgences for souls in purgatory. Those who wish to pray for these souls are welcome.
Online group readings of St. Faustina's Diary invite participants to reflect on the message of Divine Mercy. Members share how deeply and personally the words speak to them.
The Miraculous Hour of Mercy. As Norman Vincent Peale said, “Affirmative prayer releases power by which positive results can be accomplished.” Before retiring for the night, participants are invited to spend a few minutes in silence before the image of the Merciful Jesus, entrusting their problems, sufferings and sicknesses to him, praying the Chaplet of Mercy and resting in the merciful hands of Christ.
Prayer times are reproduced from the existing services content; please confirm current timings with the Foundation.
Books, printed resources and devotional images help families and communities keep the Divine Mercy message close in daily life.
This book, written by pioneers of the Global Divine Mercy Foundation under divine guidance, is recommended to those who pray the Chaplet of Mercy.
Divine Mercy Sunday Calendar. This calendar helps the faithful understand the feast of Divine Mercy Sunday, its celebration and its spiritual significance. Available in English and Malayalam.
Sponsors can support calendar printing, including publication in additional languages. Contact the office for details.
A small image of Divine Mercy, kept in a wallet or pocket, is a reminder to pause and pray, “Jesus, I trust in You,” throughout the day.
The Foundation promotes the original Divine Mercy image and the original form of the Chaplet of Mercy. Images are offered through its online store.
