NOVENA TO THE DIVINE MERCY
JESUS, I TRUST IN YOU!
Jesus told Sister Faustina, “I desire that during these nine days
you bring souls to the fountain of My mercy, that they may draw
therefrom strength and refreshment and whatever grace 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.” (1209).
DAY : 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5
- 6 - 7 - 8 - 9
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 the 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 forever and ever.
Amen.

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 the
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 us, that we may perform worthy works of mercy, and that all
who see us 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; 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.

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 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 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 con- stant
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.

FOURTH DAY:
“Today bring to Me the pagans 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 pagans who
as yet do not know You. Let the rays of Your grace enlighten them so
that they, too, together with us, may extol Your wonderful mercy; do
not let them escape from the abode which is Your Most Compassionate
Heart.
Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon the souls of pagans and of
those who as yet do not know You, but who are enclosed in the Most
CompassionateHeart 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.

FIFTH DAY:
“Today bring to Me the souls of heretics and schismatics,
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 heretics and schismatics. 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 extol the generosity of Your mercy.
Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon the souls of heretics and
schismatics, 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 the
Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. Bring it about that they also may
glorify Your great mercy for endless ages.
Amen.

SIXTH DAY:
“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 would keep vigil at My altars. I pour
out upon them whole torrents of grace. Only the humble soul is able to
receive 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.
Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon meek and humble souls, and
upon the souls of 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, so that all souls together may sing out
the praises of Your mercy for endless ages.
Amen.

Mercy
SEVENTH DAY:
“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. These souls are
united to Jesus and 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.
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
spirit, overflowing with joy, sings 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.

Mercy
EIGTH DAY:
“Today bring to Me the souls who are in the prison of
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 the purifying fire,
that in that place, too, the power of Your mercy may be praised.
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 than through the Wounds of Jesus, Your dearly beloved Son;
for we firmly believe that there is no limit to Your goodness and
compassion.
Amen.

Mercy
NINTH DAY:
“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 flee 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.

TRUST:
Jesus told, “The graces of My mercy are drawn by means of one vessel
only,and that is trust.” (1578).
MERCY:
“If a soul does not exercise mercy somehow or other, it will not obtain
My mercy on the day of judgment.” (1317).
SPREADING THE DIVINE MERCY DEVOTION:
Jesus said, “My daughter,speak to the world about My mercy; let all
mankind recognize My unfathomable mercy.It is a sign for the end of
times; after it will come the day of justice.” (848).
THE IMAGE OF THE DIVINE MERCY
On February 22, 1931, Jesus told Sister Faustina: “Paint an image
according to the pattern you see,with the signature:Jesus,I Trust in
You.” (47). “I promise that the soul that will venerate this image will
not perish.I also promise victory over (its) enemies already here on
earth,especially at the hour of death. I Myself will defend it as My
own glory.” (48)
THE FEAST OF THE DIVINE MERCY
Jesus told Sister Faustina, “I desire that the Feast of Mercy be a
refuge and shelter for all souls,and especially for poor sinners.On
that day the very depths of My tender mercy are open.I pour out a whole
ocean of graces upon those souls who approach the Fount of My mercy.The
soul that will go to Confession and receive Holy Communion shall obtain
complete forgiveness of sins and punishment. On that day all the divine
floodgates through which graces flow are opened.Let no soul fear to
draw near to Me,even though its sins be as scarlet.” (699)
THE HOUR OF MERCY
“I remind you,My daughter,that as often as you hear the clock strike
the third hour,immerse yourself completely in My mercy,adoring and
glorifying it; invoke its omnipotence for the whole world,and
particularly for poor sinners; for at that moment mercy was opened wide
for every soul.” (1572).
THE CHAPLET TO THE DIVINE MERCY
Jesus told Sister Faustina: “Oh,what great graces I will grant to souls
who say this chaplet; the very depths of My tender mercy are stirred
for the sake of those who say the chaplet.” (848).“Through the chaplet
you will obtain everyting,if what you ask for is compatible with My
will.” (1731).Elsewhere Jesus said:“Whoever will recite it will receive
great mercy at the hour of death.Priestswill recommend it to sinners as
their last hope of salvation. Even if there were a sinner most
hardened,if he were to recite this chaplet only once,he would receive
grace from My infinite mercy.” (687).
This chaplet is recited on ordinary rosary beads.
