Divine Mercy Sunday - April 16th

The Divine Mercy Novena of Chaplets was given to the world through St. Faustina in 1937 to be said in preparation for the feast of Divine Mercy Sunday. The Novena begins on Good Friday and ends on the Saturday before Divine Mercy Sunday. It can also be said at any time. For each of the nine days, our Lord gave St. Faustina a different intention. Day 1: All mankind, especially all sinners; Day 2: The souls of priests and religious; Day 3: All devout and faithful souls; Day 4: Those who do not believe in God and those who do not yet know Me; Day 5: The souls of those who have separated themselves from My Church; Day 6: The meek and humble souls and the souls of little children; Day 7: The souls who especially venerate and glorify My mercy; Day 8: The souls who are in purgatory; Day 9: Souls who have become lukewarm. “I desire that during these nine days you brings souls to the fountain of My mercy, that they may draw from there strength and refreshment and whatever grace they have need of in the hardships of life, and especially at the hour of death.” (Diary, 1209) The Spirituality Committee will be handing out Divine Mercy Novena pamphlets next weekend, and all are invited to join in praying this Novena
