Deepertruth: The Divine Mercy made personal, Jesus I Trust in You

 The Divine Mercy made personal, Jesus I Trust in You

Jesus told St.Faustina," "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."

St. Faustina wrote in her diary: "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."

Opening Prayers (optional):You expired, Jesus,but the source of life gushed forth for souls, and the ocean of mercy opened up for the whole world. O Fount of Life, unfathomable Divine Mercy, envelop the whole world and empty Yourself out upon us. O Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a fountain of mercy for us, I trust in You!

The Chaplet begins with the Our Father, the Hail Mary, and The Apostles Creed.

On the large beads, we pray: Eternal Father, I offer You the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Your dearly beloved Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, in atonement for our sins and those of the whole world.

On the ten small beads of each decade we pray: For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world.

The Chaplet is concluded with (three times): Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us and on the whole world.

The closing prayer (optional): Eternal God, in whom mercy is endless and the treasury of compassion inexhaustible, look kindly upon us and increase Your mercy in us, that in difficult moments we might not despair nor become despondent, but with great confidence submit ourselves to Your holy will, which is Love and Mercy itself.
