Second Day of Divine Mercy Novena April 7, 2007
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 the voice sing praise to Your boundless mercy for ages without end. Amen.
*In the original text, St. Faustina uses the pronoun "us" since she was offering this prayer as a consecrated religious sister. The wording adapted here is intended to make the prayer suitable for universal use.

You expired, Jesus, but the source of life gushed forth for souls, and an ocean of mercy opened up for the whole world. O Fount of Life, unfathomable Devine Mercy, envelop the whole world and empty yourself out upon us. (Diary 1319)
O Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a fount of mercy for us, I trust in You! (Diary 84)
Begin with:
The Our Father or Lords Prayer
Our Father, whol art in heaven,
hollowed be thy name.
Thy Kingdom come.
Thy will be done on earth
as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us,
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil. Amen
Hail Mary
Hail Mary, full of grace,
the Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women and blessed is the fruit
of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners,
Now and at the hour of our death. Amen
The Apostle's Creed
I believe in God, the Father almighty creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord.
He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit
and born of the Virgin Mary.
He suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried.
He descended into hell.
On the third day he rose again.
He ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the Holy catholic Church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and life everlasting. Amen
On the Large bead before each decade:
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.
On the ten small beads of each decade, say:
For the sake of His sorrowful Passion,
have mercy on us
and on the whole world.
When you get to the next large bead, Repeat the Eternal Father prayer and on the next ten small beads the For the sake of his sorrowful passion Prayer.
After you conclude all five decades, Pray:by repeating three times in a row
Holy God,
Holy Mighty One,
Holy Immortal One,
have mercy on us
and on the whole world.
Closing Prayer: Prayed Once
Eternal God, in whom mercy is endless
and the treasury of compassion-inexhaustible,
look kindly upon us and increase Your mercy in us,
that in difficult moments we might not despair
nor become despondent,
but with great confidence submit ourselves to Your holy will, which is Love and Mercy itself. (Diary 950)
There is a recomendation to pray the chaplet or Novena prayers at the hour of Mercy daily. If your working or what ever life's demands calls of you, It can be prayed at any time of the day that you decide. I'll be praying here daily at 3 PM.
Another fun thing I do when I have to be somewhere other than home is set the alarm on my cell phone to 3 PM to Vibrate, And then I say a few for the Sake of his sorrowful passion and just remind my self of the divine mercy and our saviors death on the cross.
