Join us at SJV in praying the Divine Mercy Novena, beginning on Good Friday, April 7 and continuing for nine days through Divine Mercy Sunday, April 16.
During this novena we will incorporate the daily intentions that the Lord revealed to Saint Maria Faustina in a series of revelations that she recorded in a 600-page diary.
In her diary, Divine Mercy in My Soul, Saint Maria Faustina wrote that Jesus told her:
“On each day of the novena you will bring to My Heart a different group of souls, and you will immerse them in this ocean of My Mercy. . . On each day you will beg My Father, on the strength of My bitter Passion, for graces for these souls”.
