The Chaplet of The Divine Mercy Novena
Fifth Day:
Today bring to Me THE SOULS OF THOSE WHO HAVE SEPARATED THEMSELVES FROM MY CHURCH,(*heretics and schismatics) and immerse them in the ocean of My mercy. During My bitter Passion
they tore at My Body and Heart, that is, My Church. As they return to
unity with the Church, My wounds heal and in this way they alleviate My
Passion.
Most Merciful Jesus, Goodness Itself,
You do not refuse light to those who seek it of You. Receive into the
abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart the souls of those who have
separated themselves from Your Church. Draw them by Your light into the
unity of the Church, and do not let them escape from the abode of Your
Most Compassionate Heart; but bring it about that they, too, come to
glorify the generosity of Your mercy.
Eternal Father, turn Your
merciful gaze upon the souls of those who have separated themselves from
Your Son's Church, who have squandered Your blessings and misused Your
graces by obstinately persisting in their errors. Do not look upon their
errors, but upon the love of Your own Son and upon His bitter Passion,
which He underwent for their sake, since they, too, are enclosed in His
Most Compassionate Heart. Bring it about that they also may glorify Your
great mercy for endless ages. Amen.
