Easter Saturday
Divine Mercy Novena - Day Nine
Dear Family of Mary!
On
this last day of the novena we pray for "lukewarm" souls. These are
souls who have lost their fervor. They have closed their hearts to God's
call, and love has grown cold. These are souls who no longer put God in
the first place. Our Lady worries very much about these souls as well:
"Dear children! As a mother, I desire to be of help to you. With my motherly love, I desire to help you to open your heart and to put my Son in the first place in it. Through your love for my Son and through your prayer, I desire for God's light to illuminate you and God's mercy to fill you. In this way, I desire for the darkness, and the shadow of death which wants to encompass and mislead you, to be driven away. I desire for you to feel the joy of the blessing of God's promise. You, children of man, you are God's children - you are my children. Therefore, my children, set out on the ways on which my love leads you, teaches you humility and wisdom, and finds the way to the Heavenly Father. Pray with me for those who do not accept me and do not follow me - those who, because of hardness of their hearts, cannot feel the joy of humility, devotion, peace and love - the joy of my Son. Pray that your shepherds, with their blessed hands, may always give you the joy of God's blessing. Thank you." March 18, 2014
Jesus
instituted the Feast of Mercy for all souls, including lukewarm souls.
He wants all souls to approach Him with trust, even those who have
failed in their love and grown cold. No one is excluded from His Mercy!
On one occasion, I heard these words: My
daughter, tell the whole world about My inconceivable mercy. I desire
that the Feast of Mercy be a refuge and shelter for all souls, and
especially for poor sinners. On that day the very depths of My tender
mercy are open. I pour out a whole ocean of graces upon those souls who
approach the Fount of My Mercy. The soul that will go to Confession and
receive Holy Communion shall obtain complete forgiveness of sins and
punishment. On that day all the divine floodgates through which graces
flow are opened. Let no soul fear to draw near to Me, even though its
sins be as scarlet. My mercy is so great that no mind, be it of man or
of angel, will be able to fathom it throughout all eternity. Everything
that exists has come forth from the very depths of My most tender mercy.
Every soul in its relation to Me will contemplate My love and mercy
throughout eternity. The Feast of Mercy emerged from My very depths of
tenderness. It is My desire that it be solemnly celebrated on the first
Sunday after Easter. Mankind will not have peace until it turns to the
Fount of My Mercy.
Divine Mercy Novena, Day Nine:
Today
bring to Me SOULS WHO HAVE BECOME LUKEWARM, and immerse them in the
abyss of My mercy. These souls wound My Heart most painfully. My soul
suffered the most dreadful loathing in the Garden of Olives because of
lukewarm souls. They were the reason I cried out: 'Father, take this cup
away from Me, if it be Your will.' For them, the last hope of salvation
is to run to My mercy.
Most compassionate Jesus, You are Compassion Itself. I bring lukewarm souls into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart. In this fire of Your pure love, let these tepid souls, who, like corpses, filled You with such deep loathing, be once again set aflame. O Most Compassionate Jesus, exercise the omnipotence of Your mercy and draw them into the very ardor of Your love, and bestow upon them the gift of holy love, for nothing is beyond Your power.
Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon lukewarm souls who are nonetheless enfolded in the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. Father of Mercy, I beg You by the bitter Passion of Your Son and by His three-hour agony on the Cross: Let them, too, glorify the abyss of Your mercy. Amen.
