Mk 10:14 The Divine Mercy Novena begins on Good Friday and goes until Divine Mercy Saturday. The Divine Mercy novena prayers were given to St. Faustina through an apparition of our Lord Jesus. Each day has a new petition that seeks God s mercy for different purposes. The message of Divine Mercy is a powerful and moving way to come closer to Christ. How to Pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet? Here are the steps of how to pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet: Step 1 Using a regular set of Rosary beads, you begin at the cross by doing the sign of the cross. (Optional Opening Prayer) 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. (Repeat three times) O Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a fountain of Mercy for us, I trust in You! Step 2 On the three beads of the rosary pray the Our Father, the Hail Mary and the Apostles Creed. Step 3 You begin each decade with the Our Father beads by praying this prayer: 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. Step 4 Complete the decade on the 10 Hail Mary beads by praying this prayer: For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world. Repeat Steps 3 and 4 for each decade on the rosary beads Step 5 Once you have prayed all 5 decades, you finish the Chaplet by praying the following prayer 3 times: Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us and on the whole world. (Optional Closing Prayer) 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. Amen.

5 Święto Miłosierdzia Bożego obchodzone jest w pierwszą niedzielę po Wielkanocy, czyli II Niedzielę Wielkanocną, zwaną obecnie Niedzielą Miłosierdzia Bożego. Wpisał je do kalendarza liturgicznego najpierw Franciszek kard. Macharski dla archidiecezji krakowskiej (1985), a potem niektórzy biskupi polscy w swoich diecezjach. Na prośbę Episkopatu Polski Ojciec Święty Jan Paweł II w 1995 roku wprowadził to święto dla wszystkich diecezji w Polsce. W dniu kanonizacji Siostry Faustyny 30 kwietnia 2000 roku Papież ogłosił to święto dla całego Kościoła. Inspiracją dla ustanowienia tego święta było pragnienie Jezusa, które przekazała Siostra Faustyna. Pan Jezus powiedział do niej: Pragnę, ażeby pierwsza niedziela po Wielkanocy była świętem Miłosierdzia (Dz. 299). Pragnę, aby święto Miłosierdzia, było ucieczką i schronieniem dla wszystkich dusz, a szczególnie dla biednych grzeszników. W dniu tym otwarte są wnętrzności miłosierdzia Mego, wylewam całe morze łask na dusze, które się zbliżą do źródła miłosierdzia Mojego. Która dusza przystąpi do spowiedzi i Komunii świętej, dostąpi zupełnego odpuszczenia win i kar. W dniu tym otwarte są wszystkie upusty Boże, przez które płyną łaski (Dz. 699). O najmiłosierniejszy Jezu, Twoja dobroć jest nieskończona, a skarby łask nieprzebrane. Ufam bezgranicznie Twojemu miłosierdziu, które jest ponad wszystkie dzieła Twoje. Oddaję się Tobie całkowicie i bez zastrzeżeń, ażeby w ten sposób móc żyć i dążyć do chrześcijańskiej doskonałości. Pragnę szerzyć Twoje miłosierdzie poprzez spełnianie dzieł miłosierdzia, tak wobec duszy, jak i ciała, zwłaszcza starając się o nawrócenie grzeszników, niosąc pociechę potrzebującym pomocy, chorym i strapionym. Strzeż mnie więc, o Jezu, jako własności swojej i chwały swojej. Jakkolwiek czasami drżę ze strachu, uświadamiając sobie słabość moją, to jednocześnie mam bezgraniczną ufność w Twoje miłosierdzie. Oby wszyscy ludzie poznali zawczasu nieskończoną głębię Twego miłosierdzia, zaufali Mu i wysławiali Je na wieki. Amen. Zapraszamy na Nabożeństwo do Miłosierdzia Bożego w niedzielę o 3 PM. "Desidero che la prima domenica dopo Pasqua sia la Festa della Mia Misericordia. Figlia Mia, parla a tutto il mondo della Mia incommensurabile Misericordia! L'Anima che in quel giorno si sarà confessata e comunicata, otterrà piena remissione di colpe e castighi. Desidero che questa Festa si celebri solennemente in tutta la Chiesa." (Gesù a S. Faustina) Domenica della Divina Misericordia Seconda domenica di Pasqua E' la più importante di tutte le forme di devozione alla Divina Misericordia. Gesù parlò per la prima volta del desiderio di istituire questa festa a suor Faustina a Płock nel 1931, quando le trasmetteva la sua volontà per quanto riguardava il quadro: "Io desidero che vi sia una festa della Misericordia. Voglio che l'immagine, che dipingerai con il pennello, venga solennemente benedetta nella prima domenica dopo Pasqua; questa domenica deve essere la festa della Misericordia". Negli anni successivi - secondo gli studi di don I. Rozycki - Gesù è ritornato a fare questa richiesta addirittura in 14 apparizioni definendo con precisione il giorno della festa nel calendario liturgico della Chiesa, la causa e lo scopo della sua istituzione, il modo di prepararla e di celebrarla come pure le grazie ad essa legate. La scelta della prima domenica dopo Pasqua ha un suo profondo senso teologico: indica lo stretto legame tra il mistero pasquale della Redenzione e la festa della Misericordia, cosa che ha notato anche suor Faustina: "Ora vedo che l'opera della Redenzione è collegata con l'opera della Misericordia richiesta dal Signore". Questo legame è sottolineato ulteriormente dalla novena che precede la festa e che inizia il Venerdì Santo. Gesù ha spiegato la ragione per cui ha chiesto l'istituzione della festa: "Le anime periscono, nonostante la Mia dolorosa Passione (...). Se non adoreranno la Mia misericordia, periranno per sempre". La preparazione alla festa deve essere una novena, che consiste nella recita, cominciando dal Venerdì Santo, della coroncina alla Divina Misericordia. Questa novena è stata desiderata da Gesù ed Egli ha detto a proposito di essa che "elargirà grazie di ogni genere". Per quanto riguarda il modo di celebrare la festa Gesù ha espresso due desideri: - che il quadro della Misericordia sia quel giorno solennemente benedetto e pubblicamente, cioè liturgicamente, venerato; - che i sacerdoti parlino alle anime di questa grande e insondabile misericordia Divina e in tal modo risveglino nei fedeli la fiducia. "Sì, - ha detto Gesù - la prima domenica dopo Pasqua è la festa della Misericordia, ma deve esserci anche l'azione ed esigo il culto della Mia misericordia con la solenne celebrazione di questa festa e col culto all'immagine che è stata dipinta". Gesù, confido in Te!
