The prayers for Day two of the Divine Mercy Novena.

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.

At the conclusion of the prayers pray the chaplet. Instructions are here.

What better way to close out the Lenten season, the Easter Triduum and my coverage of the 2024 Worcester Catholic’s Men’s Conference than an interview with a priest from an abbey.

One might have expected more interviews but I was also busy collecting prayer requests for my Your Prayer Intentions show that airs every Saturday at Noon and Midnight on WQPH 89.3 FM Shirley Fitchburg

Divine Mercy Novena Day 1

Today is Good Friday and it is also the first day for the Divine Mercy Novena that runs from Good Friday to Easter Saturday culminating in the Feast of Divine Mercy which always takes place on the Sunday after Easter.

The Novena consists of a series of prayers by which we bring various groups of people before Christ and then praying the Divine Mercy Chaplet (which can be prayed on any standard Rosary). Details on how to pray the Chaplet are here.

Here are the prayers for Day one

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.
