Divine Mercy Novena

A Novena is nine days of prayer in preparation for a feast. In the case of the Novena to The Divine Mercy, we pray the Chaplet of The Divine Mercy each day starting on Good Friday, for a specific intention. In her diary, St. Faustina wrote that Jesus told her:  "On each day of the novena you will bring to My heart a different group of souls and you will immerse them in this ocean of My mercy ... On each day you will beg My Father, on the strength of My passion, for the graces for these souls."
 
The following is the same prayer being said during the Novena at the National Shrine of The Divine Mercy. Novena to The Divine Mercy "I desire that during these nine days you bring souls to the fountain of My mercy, that they may draw therefrom strength and refreshment and whatever grace they need in the hardships of life, and especially at the hour of death." (Diary, 1209)
 
"Today bring to Me... First Day: all mankind, especially all sinners Second Day: the souls of priests and religious Third Day: all devout and faithful souls Fourth Day: those who do not believe in God and those who do not yet know Me Fifth Day: the souls of those who have separated themselves from My church Sixth Day: the meek and humble souls and the souls of little children Seventh Day: the souls who especially venerate and glorify My mercy Eighth Day: the souls who are detained in Purgatory Ninth Day: souls who have become lukewarm."
