Divine Mercy Novena Day Nine Saturday April 14, 2007
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.
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
*To understand who are the souls designated for this
Day, and who in the Diary are called “lukewarm,” but
Are also compared to ice and to corpses, we would do
Well to take note of the definition that the Savior
Himself gave them when speaking to St. Faustina about
Them on one occasion: There are souls who thwart
My efforts (1682). Souls without love or devotion,
Souls full of egoism and selfishness, proud and arro-
gant souls full of deceit and hypocrisy, lukewarm
souls who have just enough warmth to keep them-
selves alive: My Heart cannot bear this. All the
graces that I pour out upon them flow off them as
off the face of a rock. I cannot stand them because
They are neither good nor bad (1702)

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 Divine 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 The Lords Prayer
Our Father, who 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
The 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 recommendation to pray the chaplet or Novena prayers at the hour of Mercy daily. If your working or what ever life's demands call you to, It can be prayed at any time of the day that you decide. I'll be praying here daily at 3 PM.
Another helpful 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 his divine mercy and our saviors death on the cross. It just brings my mind back to Christ in the middle of the day and helps me to re-focus my distracted mind back on the one we Worship & Love.
