Divine Mercy Novena
Day 4

Fourth Day

“Today bring to Me those who do not believe in God and those who do not 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.

Then pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet, using a standard rosary.

1. Begin with the Sign of the Cross, 1 Our Father, 1 Hail Mary and The Apostles’ Creed.
   
   
2. Then on the Our Father Beads say the following:
   Eternal Father, I offer You the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Your dearly beloved Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, in atonement for our sins and those of the whole world.
   
   
3. On the 10 Hail Mary Beads say the following:
   For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world.
   (Repeat step 2 and 3 for all five decades).
   
   
4. Conclude with (three times):
   Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us and on the whole world.

Happy Easter!

Divine Mercy Novena
Day 3

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 a 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 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 grace 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.

Then pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet, using a standard rosary.

Day 2

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.

Then pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet, using a standard rosary.

Divine Mercy Novena
Day 1

First Day

“Today bring to Me all mankind, especially all sinners, and immerse them in the ocean of My mercy. In this way you will console Me in the bitter grief into which the loss of souls plunges Me.”

Most Merciful Jesus, whose very nature it is to have compassion on us and to forgive us, do not look upon our sins but upon our trust which we place in Your infinite goodness. Receive us all into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart, and never let us escape from It. We beg this of You by Your love which unites You to the Father and the Holy Spirit.

Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon all mankind and especially upon poor sinners, all enfolded in the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. For the sake of His sorrowful Passion show us Your mercy, that we may praise the omnipotence of Your mercy for ever and ever. Amen.

Then pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet, using a standard rosary.

A WAY OF COMMEMORATING THE LIFE, DEATH & GLORY OF JESUS & MARY IN THE MOST HOLY ROSARY,
& A WAY TO CURB OUR IMAGINATION & TO LESSEN DISTRACTIONS

In order to do this, we must add a word or two to each Hail Mary (depending upon the decade) and this will help remind us which mystery we are commemorating. This word or words should be added after the word “Jesus.” “And blessed is the fruit of Thy Womb”;

At the 1st Decade … . . “Jesus incarnate”;
At the 2nd “ … . . “Jesus sanctifying”;
At the 3rd “ … . . "Jesus born in poverty”;
At the 4th “ … . . "Jesus sacrificed”;
At the 5th “ … . . "Jesus, Saint among Saints”;
At the 6th “ … . . "Jesus in His agony”;
At the 7th “ … . . "Jesus scourged”;
At the 8th “ … . . "Jesus crowned with thorns”;
At the 9th “ … . . "Jesus carrying His Cross”;
At the 10th “ … . . "Jesus crucified”;
At the 11th “ … . . "Jesus risen from the dead”;
At the 12th “ … . . "Jesus ascending to Heaven”;
At the 13th” … . . “Jesus filling Thee with the Holy Spirit”;
At the 14th “ … . . “Jesus raising Thee up”;
At the 15th “ … . . "Jesus crowning Thee.”

At the end of the first five mysteries, we say:
“Grace of the Joyful Mysteries, come down into our souls and make them really holy”;

At the end of the second:
“Grace of the Sorrowful Mysteries, come down into our souls and make them truly patient”;

And at the end of the third:
“Grace of the Glorious Mysteries, come down into our souls and make them everlastingly happy. Amen.”

~ St Louis de Montfort, The Secret of the Rosary

“The soul’s true greatness is in loving God and in humbling oneself in His presence, completely forgetting oneself and believing oneself to be nothing; because the Lord is great, but He is well-pleased only with the humble; He always opposes the proud.” - St. Faustina
