Divine Mercy Novena: Third 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.

Third Day

Today bring to Me All Devout and Faithful Souls and immerse them in the ocean of My mercy. These souls brought Me consolation on the Way of the Cross. They were that drop of consolation in the midst of an ocean of bitterness.

Most Merciful Jesus, from the treasury of Your mercy, You impart Your graces in the great abundance to each and all. Receive us into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart and never let us escape from It. We beg this of You by that most wondrous love for the heavenly Father with which Your Heart burns so fiercely.

Eternal Father, turn Your Merciful gaze upon faithful souls, as upon the inheritance of Your Son. For the sake of His Sorrowful Passion, grant them Your blessing and surround them with Your constant protection. Thus may they never fail in love or lose the treasure of the holy faith, but rather, with all the hosts of Angels and Saints, may they glorify Your boundless mercy for endless ages. Amen.
