Quote:
Jesus asked that the Feast of the Divine Mercy be preceded by a Novena to the Divine Mercy which would begin on Good Friday. He gave St. Faustina an intention to pray for on each day of the Novena, saving for the last day the most difficult intention of all, the lukewarm and indifferent of whom He said:
"These souls cause Me more suffering than any others; it was from such souls that My soul felt the most revulsion in the Garden of Olives. It was on their account that I said: 'My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass Me by.' The last hope of salvation for them is to flee to My Mercy."
In her diary, St. Faustina wrote that Jesus told her:
"On each day of the novena you will bring to My heart a different group of souls and you will immerse them in this ocean of My mercy ... On each day you will beg My Father, on the strength of My passion, for the graces for these souls." |

The different souls prayed for on each day of the novena are:
Day 1 (Good Friday) - all mankind, especially all sinners
Day 2 (Holy Saturday) - the souls of priests and religious
Day 3 (Easter Sunday) - all devout and faithful souls
Day 4 (Easter Monday) - those who do not believe in God and those who do not yet know Jesus
Day 5 (Easter Tuesday) - the souls of separated brethren
Day 6 (Easter Wednesday) - meek and humble souls and the souls of little children
Day 7 (Easter Thursday) - the souls who especially venerate and glorify my mercy
Day 8 (Easter Friday) - those souls in Purgatory
Day 9 (Easter Saturday) - those souls who have become lukewarm
The Feast of Divine Mercy is celebrated on the second Sunday of Easter and the faithful are granted either a plenary or partial indulgence depending on the fulfilling of certain conditions.
Directions for praying the Chaplet of Divine Mercy can be found here. |

Thank you for this. This Novena is dear to my heart. It's the one devotion I've been succesful in being consistent with!
And if we can manage it, we're going to the Shrine of Divine Mercy in Stockbridge, MA during Easter Week! I will keep the board's intentions in my prayers there.
