- Celebrate the Feast on the Sunday after Easter. (Diary 49, 341, 699)
- Sincerely repent of all our sins. (Diary 113)
- Place our complete trust in Jesus. (Diary 50, 1059, 1074, 1578)
- Go to Confession, preferably before that Sunday. (Diary 1109)
- Receive Holy Communion on the day of the Feast. (Diary 1109)
- Venerate* the Image of the Divine Mercy. (Diary 47, 48, 742)

*To venerate a sacred image or statue simply means to perform some act or make some gesture of deep religious respect toward it because of the person whom it represents – in this case, Our Most Merciful Savior.
