The Divine Mercy Novena Starts Today
Sister Maria Faustina Kowalska, the polish nun who received the Divine Mercy messages from our Lord Jesus Christ was canonized on Divine Mercy Sunday, April 30th, 2000, by the late Holy Father, Blessed John Paul II,
This year, the Divine Mercy novena, starts on Good Friday March 29th, 2013 and ends on Saturday April 6th, 2013. Divine Mercy Sunday is April 7th, 2013.
According to the Diary of Sister Faustina, our Lord Jesus Christ promised that those who faithfully:
(i) pray and meditate on this novena for these nine days:
(ii) go for confession between Holy Saturday April 24th, 2010, and Saturday May 7th, 2010;
(iii) attends and prays the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass on Divine Mercy Sunday April 11, 2007;
(iv) receives the Holy Eucharist in a state of grace, at that Mass;
(v) performs a Spiritual or Corporal Work of Mercy, on or around Mercy Sunday;
will have all his or her sins forgiven as well as the punishment due to all these sins. His or her soul will be in the same spiritual state that it was immediately after he or she was baptized.
St. Faustina's diary titled: “Divine Mercy in my Soul”, and videos on her life can be obtained from any Catholic bookstore or from the Marians of the Immaculate Conception at Eden Hill Massachusetts, by calling 800/804-3823
I have enclosed a file containing the powerful and efficacious Divine Mercy Chaplet which may be recited on Rosary beads at 3PM, the Hour of Mercy, the Hour that our Lord, the Christ Jesus died on the ignominous wood of the Cross . It is recommended that this chaplet be prayed with the novena during the nine days, and thereafter every day, at the Hour of Mercy, for individual and family intentions, for the sick and also for the dying, similar to the daily recitation of the Rosary.
