Divine Mercy Novena Day 1

+J.M.J+

I hope you all are having a blessed Good Friday.  I wanted to remind you all today we also start the Divine Mercy Novena at the request of Our Lord.

Here is a small intro paragraph about this novena that I really liked.

The wide range of intentions, which do not include personal needs, makes the great popularity of this novena all the more astounding.  In this novena, we truly make the Lord's intentions our own  -- a beautiful expression of the Church's privilege and duty, as the Bride of the Lord, to be the intercessor at Christ's side on the throne of mercy.

Prayers for the Novena

It is greatly recommended that the following novena intentions be said together with the Chaplet of Divine Mercy, since Our Lord specifically asked for a novena of Chaplets, especially before the Feast of Mercy.

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.

(follow with the Chaplet of Divine Mercy)

I will be posting the different intention every day until Divine Mercy Sunday!  Please pray along with me for the redemption of souls.  May you all have a blessed Triduum!

+Jesus, I trust in you.+
