Divine Mercy Novena: Second Day

THIS IS ONE POST IN A SERIES.

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.

Second Day

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.
