EASTER VIGIL ✠ Divine Mercy, Hope Against All Hope

The Chaplet of The Divine Mercy Novena ✠ Day 2

Today bring to Me THE SOULS OF PRIESTS AND RELIGIOUS, and immerse them in My unfathomable mercy. It was they who gave Me strength to endure My bitter Passion. Through them as through channels My mercy flows out upon mankind.

Most Merciful Jesus, from whom comes all that is good, increase Your grace in men and women consecrated to Your service,* that they may perform worthy works of mercy; and that all who see them may glorify the Father of Mercy who is in heaven.

Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon the company of chosen ones in Your vineyard—upon the souls of priests and religious; and endow them with the strength of Your blessing. For the love of the Heart of Your Son in which they are enfolded, impart to them Your power and light, that they may be able to guide others in the way of salvation and with one voice sing praise to Your boundless mercy for ages without end. Amen.

 

 

St. Faustina’s Prayer for Priests 

 

O my Jesus, I beg You on behalf of the whole Church:
Grant it love and the light of Your Spirit 
and give power to the words of priests 
so that hardened hearts might be brought to repentance 
and return to You, O Lord.

Lord, give us holy priests; 
You Yourself maintain them in holiness. 
O Divine and Great High Priest, 
may the power of Your mercy accompany them everywhere and protect them 
from the devil’s snares which are continually being set for the souls of priests. 
May the power of Your mercy, O Lord, 
shatter and bring to naught all that might tarnish the sanctity of priests, 
for You, beloved Jesus, can do all things.      

Litany to the Divine Mercy

Eternal God, in whom mercy is endless & the treasury of compassion inexhaustible, look kindly upon us & 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 & Mercy itself.
