Happy Easter once again!!! Thank you, dear God, for loving and saving us!!!
We pray that you have been able to start and continue the Divine Mercy Novena, which started last Good Friday (April 6) and will end by Saturday, April 14.
In the midst of all the fears and threats facing the world, in terms of the North Korea launch and calamities, let us pray, pray, pray even more for Jesus of the Divine Mercy to grant us peace and protection always!!!
Here are the rest of the prayers for Days 7-8, for April 12-13. We will print Day 9 novena prayers on the April 14 issue.
Day 7:“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.”
Prayer: “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 You O Jesus, they 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.”
Day 8:“Today bring to Me THE SOULS WHO ARE IN PRISONOF PURGATORYand 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.”
Prayer:“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.
From the terrible heat of the cleansing fire rises a plaint to Your mercy and they receive comfort, refreshment, relief in the stream of mingled blood and water.
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 but only through the Wounds of Jesus, Your dearly beloved Son; for we firmly believe that there is no limit to Your goodness and compassion. Amen.”
