The fifth day of the Divine Mercy Novena
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.
At the conclusion of the prayers pray the chaplet. Instructions are here.

And I’ll close with a special message to those who ganged up to cancel comic artist Ed Piskor and helped drive him to suicide yesterday. If any of you a feeling a tad guilty over it, such as perhaps the good folks commenting at the Beat who seemingly had no issue with readers piling on until the man killed himself and suddenly comments on the article were closed.
If you’re looking for relief for this guilt now is the perfect time to take the hand of Mercy that Christ Offers and the confession and absolution offered this Sunday. It’s too late for Ed but not too late for you.
I didn’t know Ed or his work or even if he was a nice guy or even a good guy or not but this type of thing is poison to the culture and the soul.
