Divine Mercy Novena
April 2, 2021fatherofloveandmercy
A
novena is typically nine days of prayer in preparation of a celebration
of a feast day. At the National Shrine of The Divine Mercy, the Chaplet
of Divine Mercy Novena is recited perpetually at the Hour of Great
Mercy — the three o’clock hour.
The
Chaplet can be said anytime, but the Lord specifically asked that it be
recited as a novena. He promised, “By this Novena (of Chaplets), I will
grant every possible grace to souls.”
For each of the nine days, our Lord gave Saint Faustina a different intention:
All
mankind, especially sinners; the souls of priests and religious; all
devout and faithful souls; those who do not believe in God and those who
do not yet know Jesus; the souls who have separated themselves from the
Church; the meek and humble souls and the souls of little children; the
souls who especially venerate and glorify His mercy; the souls detained
in purgatory; and souls who have become lukewarm.
“I desire that
during these nine days you bring souls to the fountain of My mercy,
that they may draw therefrom strength and refreshment and whatever grace
they have need of in the hardships of life, and especially at the hour
of death” (Diary, 1209).
Here is a link to pray the Chaplet of Divine Mercy by audio,video or text. https://www.thedivinemercy.org/message/devotions/chaplet
You will start this novena at 3PM on Good Friday and everyday for 9 days.
During
Faustina’s canonization, Beloved John Paul II, instituted the feast day
of Divine Mercy Sunday on the first Sunday after Easter; and the
following instructions of Our Lord to Sr. Fausina were an incentive for
its establishment.
Jesus
said, “My daughter, tell the whole world about My inconceivable mercy. I
desire that the Feast of Mercy be a refuge and shelter for all souls,
and especially for poor sinners. On that day the very depths of My
tender mercy are open. I pour out a whole ocean of graces upon those
souls who approach the fount of My mercy. The soul that will go to
Confession and receive Holy Communion shall obtain complete forgiveness
of sins and punishment. On that day all the divine floodgates through
which graces flow are opened. Let no soul fear to draw near to Me, even
though its sins be as scarlet. My mercy is so great that no mind, be it
of man or of angel, will be able to fathom it throughout all eternity.
Everything that exists has come forth from the very depths of My most
tender mercy. Every soul in its relation to Me will contemplate My love
and mercy throughout eternity.
The Feast of Mercy emerged from My
very depths of tenderness. It is My desire that it be solemnly
celebrated on the first Sunday after Easter. Mankind will not have peace
until it turns to the Fount of My Mercy” (Diary, #699).
In
2002, Pope John Paul II entrusted the whole world to the Mercy of God;
and proclaimed Divine Mercy as the answer to all the world’s problems.
Pope John Paul died on the vigil of Divine Mercy Sunday, leaving us this
beautiful feast day, which is one of the greatest treasures of the
Church.
This sacred day, allows the Faithful to obtain a PLENARY indulgence by following three conditions and devotions:
Sacramental Confession
Eucharistic Communion,
Prayer for the Intentions of Our Holy Father, the Pope.
These
must be done in any church or chapel, in a spirit that is completely
detached from the affection for sin, even a venial sin, and take part in
the prayers and devotions (Recitation of the Divine Mercy Chaplet and
Veneration of the Divine Mercy Image) held in honor of Divine Mercy, OR
in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament exposed or reserved in the
tabernacle, recite the Our Father and the Creed, adding a devout prayer
to the merciful Lord Jesus (e.g. Merciful Jesus, I trust in you); (Note:
this plenary indulgence is applicable to the souls in Purgatory).
In
order to obtain a PARTIAL indulgence, the Faithful are required to
pray, a legitimately approved invocation to our Merciful Lord Jesus
(e.g. Merciful Jesus, I trust in you) with a contrite heart.
For
those who are sick and those who nurse them, and all who for a just
cause are home bound or are driven out of their homeland, or who carry
out an activity for the community which cannot be postponed, may obtain a
PLENARY indulgence on Divine Mercy Sunday, by totally detesting any sin
with the intention of fulfilling as soon as possible the three usual
conditions: Sacramental Confession,
Eucharistic Communion,
Prayer for the intentions of Our Holy Father, the Pope,
and
the recitation of the Our Father and the Creed before a devout image of
Our Merciful Lord Jesus and, in addition, pray a devout invocation to
Him (e.g. Merciful Jesus, I trust in you.)
If it is impossible
for some people to obtain the PLENARY indulgence according to the last
way I described, then the Faithful may obtain the PLENARY Indulgence, if
with a spiritual intention, they are united with those carrying out the
prescribed practice for obtaining the Indulgence in the usual way and
offer to the Merciful Lord a prayer and the sufferings of their illness
and the difficulties of their lives, with the resolution to accomplish
as soon as possible the three conditions prescribed to obtain the
plenary indulgence, which once again are: Sacramental Confession,
Eucharistic Communion,
Prayer for the intentions of Our Holy Father, the Pope.
(The
specific information, which explains the process of obtaining the
indulgences in honor of Divine Mercy Sunday was taken from the Apostolic
Penitentiary Decree given approval by Archbishop Luigi De Magistris,
Tit. Archbishop of Nova, Major Pro-Penitentiary and Fr. Gianfranco
Girotti, O. F. M. Conv., Regent).

First Day:
Today
bring to Me ALL MANKIND, ESPECIALLY ALL SINNERS, and immerse them in
the ocean of My mercy. In this way you will console Me in the bitter
grief into which the loss of souls plunges Me.
Most Merciful
Jesus, whose very nature it is to have compassion on us and to forgive
us, do not look upon our sins but upon our trust which we place in Your
infinite goodness. Receive us all into the abode of Your Most
Compassionate Heart, and never let us escape from It. We beg this of You
by Your love which unites You to the Father and the Holy Spirit.
Eternal
Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon all mankind and especially upon
poor sinners, all enfolded in the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. For
the sake of His sorrowful Passion show us Your mercy, that we may
praise the omnipotence of Your mercy for ever and ever. Amen.
Second Day:
Today
bring to Me THE SOULS OF PRIESTS AND RELIGIOUS, and immerse them in My
unfathomable mercy. It was they who gave Me strength to endure My bitter
Passion. Through them as through channels My mercy flows out upon
mankind.
Most Merciful Jesus, from whom comes all that is good,
increase Your grace in men and women consecrated to Your service,* that
they may perform worthy works of mercy; and that all who see them may
glorify the Father of Mercy who is in heaven.
Eternal Father,
turn Your merciful gaze upon the company of chosen ones in Your
vineyard—upon the souls of priests and religious; and endow them with
the strength of Your blessing. For the love of the Heart of Your Son in
which they are enfolded, impart to them Your power and light, that they
may be able to guide others in the way of salvation and with one voice
sing praise to Your boundless mercy for ages without end. Amen.
Third Day:
Today
bring to Me ALL DEVOUT AND FAITHFUL SOULS, and immerse them in the
ocean of My mercy. The souls brought Me consolation on the Way of the
Cross. They were that drop of consolation in the midst of an ocean of
bitterness.
Most Merciful Jesus, from the treasury of Your
mercy, You impart Your graces in great abundance to each and all.
Receive us into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart and never let
us escape from It. We beg this grace of You by that most wonderous love
for the heavenly Father with which Your Heart burns so fiercely.
Eternal
Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon faithful souls, as upon the
inheritance of Your Son. For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, grant
them Your blessing and surround them with Your constant protection. Thus
may they never fail in love or lose the treasure of the holy faith, but
rather, with all the hosts of Angels and Saints, may they glorify Your
boundless mercy for endless ages. Amen.
Fourth Day:
Today
bring to Me The PAGANS AND THOSE WHO DO NOT YET KNOW ME. I was thinking
also of them during My bitter Passion, and their future zeal comforted
My Heart. Immerse them in the ocean of My mercy.
Most
compassionate Jesus, You are the Light of the whole world. Receive into
the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart the souls of those who do not
believe in God and of those who as yet do not know You. Let the rays of
Your grace enlighten them that they, too, together with us, may extol
Your wonderful mercy; and do not let them escape from the abode which is
Your Most Compassionate Heart.
Eternal Father, turn Your
merciful gaze upon the souls of those who do not believe in You, and of
those who as yet do not know You, but who are enclosed in the Most
Compassionate Heart of Jesus. Draw them to the light of the Gospel.
These souls do not know what great happiness it is to love You. Grant
that they, too, may extol the generosity of Your mercy for endless ages.
Amen.
Fifth Day:
Today bring to Me THE SOULS OF THOSE WHO
HAVE SEPARATED THEMSELVES FROM MY CHURCH,* and immerse them in the ocean
of My mercy. During My bitter Passion they tore at My Body and Heart,
that is, My Church. As they return to unity with the Church, My wounds
heal and in this way they alleviate My Passion.
Most Merciful
Jesus, Goodness Itself, You do not refuse light to those who seek it of
You. Receive into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart the souls
of those who have separated themselves from Your Church. Draw them by
Your light into the unity of the Church, and do not let them escape from
the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart; but bring it about that
they, too, come to glorify the generosity of Your mercy.
Eternal
Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon the souls of those who have
separated themselves from Your Son’s Church, who have squandered Your
blessings and misused Your graces by obstinately persisting in their
errors. Do not look upon their errors, but upon the love of Your own Son
and upon His bitter Passion, which He underwent for their sake, since
they, too, are enclosed in His Most Compassionate Heart. Bring it about
that they also may glorify Your great mercy for endless ages. Amen.
Sixth Day:
Today
bring to Me THE MEEK AND HUMBLE SOULS AND THE SOULS OF LITTLE CHILDREN,
and immerse them in My mercy. These souls most closely resemble My
Heart. They strengthened Me during My bitter agony. I saw them as
earthly Angels, who will keep vigil at My altars. I pour out upon them
whole torrents of grace. Only the humble soul is capable of receiving My
grace. I favor humble souls with My confidence.
Most Merciful
Jesus, You yourself have said, “Learn from Me for I am meek and humble
of heart.” Receive into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart all
meek and humble souls and the souls of little children. These souls send
all heaven into ecstasy and they are the heavenly Father’s favorites.
They are a sweet-smelling bouquet before the throne of God; God Himself
takes delight in their fragrance. These souls have a permanent abode in
Your Most Compassionate Heart, O Jesus, and they unceasingly sing out a
hymn of love and mercy.
Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze
upon meek souls, upon humble souls, and upon little children who are
enfolded in the abode which is the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus.
These souls bear the closest resemblance to Your Son. Their fragrance
rises from the earth and reaches Your very throne. Father of mercy and
of all goodness, I beg You by the love You bear these souls and by the
delight You take in them: Bless the whole world, that all souls together
may sing out the praises of Your mercy for endless ages. Amen.
Seventh Day:
Today
bring to Me THE SOULS WHO ESPECIALLY VENERATE AND GLORIFY MY MERCY,*
and immerse them in My mercy. These souls sorrowed most over my Passion
and entered most deeply into My spirit. They are living images of My
Compassionate Heart. These souls will shine with a special brightness in
the next life. Not one of them will go into the fire of hell. I shall
particularly defend each one of them at the hour of death.
Most
Merciful Jesus, whose Heart is Love Itself, receive into the abode of
Your Most Compassionate Heart the souls of those who particularly extol
and venerate the greatness of Your mercy. These souls are mighty with
the very power of God Himself. In the midst of all afflictions and
adversities they go forward, confident of Your mercy; and united to You,
O Jesus, they carry all mankind on their shoulders. These souls will
not be judged severely, but Your mercy will embrace them as they depart
from this life.
Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon the
souls who glorify and venerate Your greatest attribute, that of Your
fathomless mercy, and who are enclosed in the Most Compassionate Heart
of Jesus. These souls are a living Gospel; their hands are full of deeds
of mercy, and their hearts, overflowing with joy, sing a canticle of
mercy to You, O Most High! I beg You O God:
Show them Your mercy
according to the hope and trust they have placed in You. Let there be
accomplished in them the promise of Jesus, who said to them that during
their life, but especially at the hour of death, the souls who will
venerate this fathomless mercy of His, He, Himself, will defend as His
glory. Amen.
Eighth Day:
Today bring to Me THE SOULS WHO ARE
DETAINED IN PURGATORY, and immerse them in the abyss of My mercy. Let
the torrents of My Blood cool down their scorching flames. All these
souls are greatly loved by Me. They are making retribution to My
justice. It is in your power to bring them relief. Draw all the
indulgences from the treasury of My Church and offer them on their
behalf. Oh, if you only knew the torments they suffer, you would
continually offer for them the alms of the spirit and pay off their debt
to My justice.
Most Merciful Jesus, You Yourself have said that
You desire mercy; so I bring into the abode of Your Most Compassionate
Heart the souls in Purgatory, souls who are very dear to You, and yet,
who must make retribution to Your justice. May the streams of Blood and
Water which gushed forth from Your Heart put out the flames of
Purgatory, that there, too, the power of Your mercy may be celebrated.
Eternal
Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon the souls suffering in Purgatory,
who are enfolded in the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. I beg You, by
the sorrowful Passion of Jesus Your Son, and by all the bitterness with
which His most sacred Soul was flooded: Manifest Your mercy to the
souls who are under Your just scrutiny. Look upon them in no other way
but only through the Wounds of Jesus, Your dearly beloved Son; for we
firmly believe that there is no limit to Your goodness and compassion.
Amen.
Ninth Day:
Today bring to Me SOULS WHO HAVE BECOME
LUKEWARM,* and immerse them in the abyss of My mercy. These souls wound
My Heart most painfully. My soul suffered the most dreadful loathing in
the Garden of Olives because of lukewarm souls. They were the reason I
cried out: ‘Father, take this cup away from Me, if it be Your will.’ For
them, the last hope of salvation is to run to My mercy.
Most
compassionate Jesus, You are Compassion Itself. I bring lukewarm souls
into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart. In this fire of Your
pure love, let these tepid souls, who, like corpses, filled You with
such deep loathing, be once again set aflame. O Most Compassionate
Jesus, exercise the omnipotence of Your mercy and draw them into the
very ardor of Your love, and bestow upon them the gift of holy love, for
nothing is beyond Your power.
Eternal Father, turn Your
merciful gaze upon lukewarm souls who are nonetheless enfolded in the
Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. Father of Mercy, I beg You by the
bitter Passion of Your Son and by His three-hour agony on the Cross: Let
them, too, glorify the abyss of Your mercy. Amen.
