Divine Mercy Novena - Day 1

Please pray the Divine Mercy Novena beginning today and ending on the eve of the Feast of Divine Mercy the Sunday after Easter for the restoration of Fr. Haley to active service in the Church, for Bishop Loverde, and for the Vatican to take action to end the scourge of homosexuals in the priesthood and the hierarchy.

FIRST DAY: Today bring to Me all mankind, especially sinners, and immerse them in the ocean of My mercy.

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.

Recite the Chaplet. If you don't know it, go here for instructions.
