Divine Mercy Devotionals at EWTN

?Jesus asked that the Feast of the Divine Mercy be preceded by a Novena to the Divine Mercy which would begin on Good Friday .? He gave St. Faustina 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, St. 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 (Good Friday) ? – All mankind, especially sinners

DAY? 2 (Holy Saturday) – The souls of priests and religious

DAY 3 (Easter Sunday) ? – All devout and faithful souls

DAY 4 (Easter Monday) – Those who do not believe in Jesus and those who do not yet know Him

DAY? 5 (Easter Tuesday) – The souls of separated brethren

DAY? 6 (Easter Wednesday) – The meek and humble souls and the souls of children

DAY? 7 (Easter Thursday) – The souls who especially venerate and glorify Jesus’ mercy

DAY? 8 (Easter Friday) – The souls who are detained in purgatory;?

DAY? 9 (Easter Saturday) – The souls who have become lukewarm.
