_ I fly to Your Mercy, Compassionate God, 
Who alone are good. Although my misery is 
great and my offenses are many, I trust in 
Your Mercy because You are the God of Mercy, 
and it has never been heard of in all ages, 
nor do Heaven or Earth remember, that a soul 
trusting in Your Mercy has been disappointed.


(State your intentions) 


__ Jesus, Friend of a lonely heart, You are my haven.
You are my peace.
You are my salvation.
You are my serenity in moments of struggle and 
amidst an ocean of doubts.
Amen 


The Divine Mercy Novena


Jesus further asked that this Feast of the 
Divine Mercy be preceded by a Novena to the 
Divine Mercy which would begin on Good Friday. 
He gave her an intention to pray for on each 
day of the Novena, saving for the last day the 
most difficult intention of all, the lukewarm 
and indifferent of whom He said:
"These souls cause Me more suffering than any 
others; it was from such souls that My soul 
felt the most revulsion in the Garden of 
Olives. It was on their account that I said: 
'My Father, if it is possible, let this cup 
pass Me by.' The last hope of salvation for 
them is to flee to My Mercy."
In her diary, Faustina wrote that Jesus told her:
"On each day of the novena you will bring to My 
heart a different group of souls and you will 
immerse them in this ocean of My mercy 
... On each day you will beg My Father, on the 
strength of My passion, for the graces for these 
souls."
The different souls prayed for on each day of 
the novena are:


DAY 1 - All mankind, especially sinners
DAY 2 - The souls of priests and religious
DAY 3 - All devout and faithful souls
DAY 4 - Those who do not believe in Jesus and those 
who do not yet know Him
DAY 5 - The souls of separated brethren
DAY 6 - The meek and humble souls and the souls of children
DAY 7 - The souls who especially venerate and glorify Jesus' mercy
DAY 8 - The souls who are detained in purgatory; and
DAY 9 - The souls who have become lukewarm. 
This is prayed along with the Divine Mercy Chaplet.


First Day
Today bring Me:


all mankind, especially all sinners.


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. 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.


Second Day
Today Bring Me:


the Souls of Priests and Religious.


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 souls] 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.


Third Day
Today Bring Me:


All Devout and Faithful Souls.


Most Merciful Jesus, from the treasury of Your 
mercy, You impart Your graces in the 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 
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.


Fourth Day
Today Bring Me:


Those Who Do Not Believe In Me and Those 
Who Do Not Know Me


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 as yet do not believe in You 
or 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. 
Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon 
the souls of those who do not believe in Your Son, 
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.


Fifth Day
Today Bring to Me:


the Souls of the Separated Brethren


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 our separated brethren. 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. Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze 
upon the souls of our separated brethren, who 
have squandered Your blessings and misused Your 
graces 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 Me:


The Meek and Humble Souls and the Souls of  
Little Children


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 of 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.


Seventh Day
Today Bring Me:


The Souls Who Especially Venerate and 
Glorify My Mercy


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 in 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."


Eighth Day
Today Bring Me


The Souls Who Are In the Prison Of 
Purgatory


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 purifying fire, that in that place, 
too, the power of Your mercy may be praised. Eternal Father,
turn Your most 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.


Ninth Day


Today Bring Me The Souls Who Have Become Lukewarm
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
 







 Hail Mary full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst 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 deaths. Amen.
