Divine Mercy Novena Day seven Thursday April 12, 2007
Today bring to Me
THE SOULS WHO ESPECIALLY
VENERATE AND GLORIFY MY MERCY,*
and immerse them in My mercy. These souls
sorrowed most of 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 par-
tucularly extol and venerate the greatness of Your
mercy. These souls are mighty with the very
power of God Himself. In the midst of all afflic-
tions and adversities they go forward, confident
of Your mercy; and united to You, O Jesus, they
carry all mindind on their shoulders. These souls
will not be judged severely, but Your mercy will
embrace them as they depart from this life.
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, over-
flowing 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. Lit there be accomplished in
them the promise of Jesus, who said to them that
during their life, but especially at the hour of
death, the souls who will venerate this fathomless
mercy of His, He Himself, will defend as His
glory. AMEN
*The text leads one to conclude that in the first prayer
directed to Jesus, who is the Redeemer, it is "victim"
souls and contemplatives that are being prayed for;
those persons, that is, that voluntarily offered them-
selves to God for the salvation fo their neighbor (see
Col 1:24; 2 Cor 4:12). This explains their close union
with the Savior and the extraordinary effecacy that their
invisible activity has for others. In the second prayer,
directed to the Father from whom comes "every worth-
while gift and every genuine benefit," we recommend
the "active" souls, who promote devotion to The Divine
Mercy and exercise with it all the other works that lend
themselves to the spiritual and material uplifting of
their brethren.

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.
