A Nine Day Novena: Good Friday-Divine Mercy Sunday
INTRODUCTION:
In Divine Mercy in My Soul: Diary of Saint Maria Faustina Kowalska, Jesus revealed to Saint Faustina a nine day novena that He desired be prayed in preparation for Divine Mercy Sunday. The novena was to begin on Good Friday and be prayed each day of the Triduum and of Easter Week in preparation for the glorious Feast of Mercy which was to take place on the Eighth Day of Easter (The Sunday after Easter Day) (See Diary #1209-1230).
 
During this novena that Jesus Himself revealed to Saint Faustina, He asks that each day be dedicated to prayers for a different grouping of people. The novena below comes from these private revelations of Saint Faustina as recorded in her Diary of Divine Mercy.
I desire that during these nine days you bring souls to the fount of My mercy, that they may draw there from strength and refreshment and whatever graces they need 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. You will do this in this life and in the next.
I will deny nothing to any soul whom you will bring to the fount of My mercy. On each day you will beg My Father, on the strength of My bitter Passion, for graces for these souls.
After the prayer and meditation each day, the Chaplet of Divine Mercy and the Litany of Divine Mercy should be prayed.
 
 
Divine Mercy Novena
 
 
DAY 1 (Good Friday)
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. Oh omnipotence of Divine Mercy,
Salvation of sinful people, You are a sea of mercy and compassion; You aid those who treat You with humility. 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.
 
Now pray the Chaplet of Divine Mercy and the Litany of Divine Mercy.
 
 
DAY 2 (Holy Saturday)
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. The fountain of God’s love Dwells in pure hearts, Bathed in the Sea of Mercy Radiant as stars, bright as the dawn.
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.
Now pray the Chaplet of Divine Mercy and the Litany of Divine Mercy.
DAY 3 (Easter Sunday)
Today bring to Me ALL DEVOUT AND FAITHFUL SOULS, and immerse then in the ocean of
My mercy. The 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 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 wonderous love for
the heavenly Father with which Your Heart burns so fiercely.
The miracles of mercy are impenetrable.
Neither the sinner nor just one will fathom them.
When You cast upon us an eye of pity,
You draw us all closer to Your love.
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.
Now pray the Chaplet of Divine Mercy and the Litany of Divine Mercy.
DAY 4 (Easter Monday)
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.
May the light of Your love
Enlighten the souls in darkness;
Grant that these souls will know You
And, together with us, praise Your mercy.
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.
Now pray the Chaplet of Divine Mercy and the Litany of Divine Mercy.
DAY 5 (Easter Tuesday)
Today bring to Me THE SOULS OF THOSE WHO HAVE SEPARATED THEMSELVES FROM MY
CHURCH, and immerse them in the ocean of My mercy. During My bitter Passion they tore
at My Body and Heart, that is, My Church. As they return to unity with the Church, My
wounds heal and in this way they alleviate My Passion.
Most Merciful Jesus, Goodness Itself, You do not refuse light to those who seek it of You.
Receive into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart the souls of those who have
separated themselves from Your Church. Draw them by Your light into the unity of the
Church, and do not let them escape from the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart;
but bring it about that they, too, come to glorify the generosity of Your mercy.
Even for those who have torn the garment of your unity,
A fount of mercy flows from Your Heart.
The omnipotence of Your mercy, Oh God.
Can lead these souls also out of error.
Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon the souls of those who have separated
themselves from Your Son’s Church, who have squandered Your blessings and misused
Your graces by obstinately persisting in their errors. Do not look upon their errors, but
upon the love of Your own Son and upon His bitter Passion, which He underwent for their
sake, since they, too, are enclosed in His Most Compassionate Heart. Bring it about that
they also may glorify Your great mercy for endless ages. Amen.
Now pray the Chaplet of Divine Mercy and the Litany of Divine Mercy.
DAY 6 (Easter Wednesday)
Today bring to Me THE MEEK AND HUMBLE SOULS AND THE SOULS OF LITTLE CHILDREN,
and immerse them in My mercy. These souls most closely resemble My Heart. They
strengthened Me during My bitter agony. I saw them as earthly Angels, who will keep vigil
at My altars. I pour out upon them whole torrents of grace. Only the humble soul is capable
of receiving My grace. I favor humble souls with My confidence.
Most Merciful Jesus, You yourself have said, “Learn from Me for I am meek and humble
of heart.” Receive into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart all meek and humble
souls and the souls of little children. These souls send all heaven into ecstasy and they are
the heavenly Father’s favorites. They are a sweet-smelling bouquet before the throne of
God; God Himself takes delight in their fragrance. These souls have a permanent abode
in Your Most Compassionate Heart, O Jesus, and they unceasingly sing out a hymn of love
and mercy.
A truly gentle and humble soul
Already here on earth the air of paradise breathes,
And in the fragrance of her humble heart
The Creator Himself delights.
Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon meek souls, upon humble souls, and upon
little children who are enfolded in the abode which is the Most Compassionate Heart of
Jesus. These souls bear the closest resemblance to Your Son. Their fragrance rises from the
earth and reaches Your very throne. Father of mercy and of all goodness, I beg You by the
love You bear these souls and by the delight You take in them: Bless the whole world, that
all souls together may sing out the praises of Your mercy for endless ages. Amen.
Now pray the Chaplet of Divine Mercy and the Litany of Divine Mercy.
DAY 7 (Easter Thursday)
Today bring to Me THE SOULS WHO ESPECIALLY VENERATE AND GLORIFY MY MERCY, and
immerse them in My mercy. These souls sorrowed most over my Passion and entered most
deeply into My spirit. They are living images of My Compassionate Heart. These souls will
shine with a special brightness in the next life. Not one of them will go into the fire of hell.
I shall particularly defend each one of them at the hour of death.
Most Merciful Jesus, whose Heart is Love Itself, receive into the abode of Your Most
Compassionate Heart the souls of those who particularly extol and venerate the greatness
of Your mercy. These souls are mighty with the very power of God Himself. In the midst
of all afflictions and adversities they go forward, confident of Your mercy; and united to
You, O Jesus, they carry all mankind on their shoulders. These souls will not be judged
severely, but Your mercy will embrace them as they depart from this life.
A soul who praises the goodness of her Lord
Is especially loved by Him.
She is always close to the living fountain
And draws graces from Mercy Divine.
Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon the souls who glorify and venerate Your
greatest attribute, that of Your fathomless mercy, and who are enclosed in the Most
Compassionate Heart of Jesus. These souls are a living Gospel; their hands are full of
deeds of mercy, and their hearts, overflowing with joy, sing a canticle of mercy to You, O
Most High! I beg You O God: Show them Your mercy according to the hope and trust they
have placed in You. Let there be accomplished in them the promise of Jesus, who said to
them, I Myself will defend as My own glory, during their lifetime, and especially at the
hour of their death, those souls who will venerate My fathomless mercy. Amen.
Now pray the Chaplet of Divine Mercy and the Litany of Divine Mercy.
DAY 8 (Easter Friday)
Today bring to Me THE SOULS WHO ARE DETAINED IN PURGATORY, and immerse them in
the abyss of My mercy. Let the torrents of My Blood cool down their scorching flames. All
these souls are greatly loved by Me. They are making retribution to My justice. It is in your
power to bring them relief. Draw all the indulgences from the treasury of My Church and
offer them on their behalf. Oh, if you only knew the torments they suffer, you would
continually offer for them the alms of the spirit and pay off their debt to My justice.
Most Merciful Jesus, You Yourself have said that You desire mercy; so I bring into the
abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart the souls in Purgatory, souls who are very dear
to You, and yet, who must make retribution to Your justice. May the streams of Blood and
Water which gushed forth from Your Heart put out the flames of Purgatory, that there,
too, the power of Your mercy may be celebrated.
From that terrible heat of the cleansing fire
Rises a plaint to Your mercy,
And they receive comfort, refreshment, relief
In the stream of mingled Blood and Water.
Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon the souls suffering in Purgatory, who are
enfolded in the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. I beg You, by the sorrowful Passion
of Jesus Your Son, and by all the bitterness with which His most sacred Soul was flooded:
Manifest Your mercy to the souls who are under Your just scrutiny. Look upon them in no
other way but only through the Wounds of Jesus, Your dearly beloved Son; for we firmly
believe that there is no limit to Your goodness and compassion. Amen.
Now pray the Chaplet of Divine Mercy and the Litany of Divine Mercy.
DAY 9 (Easter Saturday)
Today bring to Me SOULS WHO HAVE BECOME LUKEWARM, and immerse them in the abyss
of My mercy. These souls wound My Heart most painfully. My soul suffered the most
dreadful loathing in the Garden of Olives because of lukewarm souls. They were the reason
I cried out: ‘Father, take this cup away from Me, if it be Your will.’ For them, the last hope
of salvation is to run to My mercy.
Most compassionate Jesus, You are Compassion Itself. I bring lukewarm souls into the
abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart. In this fire of Your pure love, let these tepid
souls, who, like corpses, filled You with such deep loathing, be once again set aflame. O
Most Compassionate Jesus, exercise the omnipotence of Your mercy and draw them into
the very ardor of Your love, and bestow upon them the gift of holy love, for nothing is
beyond Your power.
Fire and ice cannot be joined,
Either the fire dies, or the ice melts.
But by Your mercy, O God,
You can make up for all that is lacking.
Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon lukewarm souls who are nonetheless
enfolded in the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. Father of Mercy, I beg You by the
bitter Passion of Your Son and by His three-hour agony on the Cross: Let them, too, glorify
the abyss of Your mercy. Amen.
Now pray the Chaplet of Divine Mercy and the Litany of Divine Mercy.
