Divine Mercy Novena: Fourth Day
The Feast of Mercy is celebrated on the Sunday after Easter. To prepare for Divine Mercy Sunday, make the Novena to The Divine Mercy* (It begins on Good Friday) - which Jesus instructed Saint Faustina to write down and to make before the Feast of Mercy.
"I desire that during these nine days you bring souls to the fount of My Mercy, that they may draw strength therefrom, and refreshment and whatever graces they have need of, in the hardships of life, and especially at the hour of death."
"On each day you will bring to My heart a different group of souls and you will immerse them in this ocean of My Mercy, and I will bring all these souls into the house of My Father..."
"On each day you will beg My Father, on the strength of My bitter Passion, for graces for these souls."

*Note: People may of course make this Novena to the Divine Mercy but it would be secondary to the Novena of Chaplets which MUST be made in preparation for the Feast of Mercy.

Fourth Day
Today bring to Me Those Who Do Not Believe In God 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.
