[color="#000000"]Eighth Day
[/color] [b]"[/b][color="#000000"]Today bring to Me the Souls who are in the prison of Purgatory, [/color] [size="3"][color="#000000"][b]and immerse them in the abyss of My mercy. Let the torrents of My Blood cool down their scorching flames. All these souls are greatly loved by Me. They are making retribution to My justice. It is in your power to bring them relief. Draw all the indulgences from the treasury of My Church and offer them on their behalf. Oh, if you only knew the torments they suffer, you would continually offer for them the alms of the spirit and pay off their debt to My justice." [/b][/color][/size]

[color="#000000"] Most Merciful Jesus, You Yourself have said that You desire mercy; so I bring into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart the souls in Purgatory, souls who are very dear to You, and yet, who must make retribution to Your justice. May the streams of Blood and Water which gushed forth from Your Heart put out the flames of Purgatory, that there, too, the power of Your mercy may be celebrated.

Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon the souls suffering in Purgatory, who are enfolded in the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. I beg You, by the sorrowful Passion of Jesus Your Son, and by all the bitterness with which His most sacred Soul was flooded: Manifest Your mercy to the souls who are under Your just scrutiny. Look upon them in no other way but only through the Wounds of Jesus, Your dearly beloved Son; for we firmly believe that there is no limit to Your goodness and compassion. Amen.[/color]

[color="#000000"]Ninth Day
[/color]Say one chaplet each day following the novena intention.
[b]"[/b][color="#000000"]Today bring to Me the Souls who have become Lukewarm,[/color][b]
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." [/b]

[color="#000000"] 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. [/color]

I joined my home parish at 3PM for a sung version of the Divine Mercy Chaplet… it was extremely beautiful and extremely powerful. We prayed in front of the Blessed Sacrament. And as we were praying… I imagined Jesus praying with us to the Father. Of course, instead of saying “His sorrowful passion”, He was praying, “My sorrowful passion” and “have mercy on [i]them[/i] and on the whole world.”

It was moving to pray with Him in such a way and to offer my life along with His, to the Father, desiring mercy.

I’ve never been super attached to the Divine Mercy Chaplet, but this was such a powerful experience for me that I plan to make it a regular aspect of my prayer life.
