Easter Tuesday - Divine Mercy Novena Day 5
April 19, 2022
Tuesday of Easter Week
Divine Mercy Novena Day 5
Dear Family of Mary!
Today
we pray for the reunification of all Christians. How did the followers
of Jesus Christ end up so splintered? Is there not one Lord? But we also
know that the enemy of us all is the great “Divider”. The enemy of
our souls has worked tirelessly to break us apart since the beginning of
time. And so, this is a very important prayer intention. Unity. Unity
in the Faith, the Love and the Truth of Jesus, Our Lord. If only…
Our Lady has given us many messages about unity – here are two:
"Dear
Children! Today I invite you to fall in love with the Most Holy
Sacrament of the Altar. Adore Him, little children, in your Parishes and
in this way you will be united with the entire world. Jesus will become
your friend and you will not talk of Him like someone whom you barely
know. Unity with Him will be a joy for you and you will become witnesses
to the love of Jesus that He has for every creature. Little children,
when you adore Jesus you are also close to me. Thank you for having
responded to my call." (September 25, 1995)
"Dear
children! In this time of grace again I call you to prayer. Pray,
little children, for unity of Christians, that all may be one heart.
Unity will really be among you inasmuch as you will pray and forgive. Do
not forget: love will conquer only if you pray, and your heart will
open. Thank you for having responded to my call." (January 25, 2005)
Let us pray for unity of all Christians and all mankind with Our Lady:
Divine Mercy Novena, Day Five:
Today
bring to Me THE SOULS OF THOSE WHO HAVE SEPARATED THEMSELVES FROM MY
CHURCH, 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.
Now we pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet:
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 3 times) O Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a fountain of Mercy for us, I trust in You!
Our Father, Hail Mary and the Apostle’s Creed
For each of the five decades (On each “Our Father” bead of the rosary, pray)
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.
(On each of the 10 “Hail Mary” beads, pray)
For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world.
Concluding prayer (Repeat 3 times)
Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us and on the whole world.
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.
In Jesus, Mary, and Joseph!
