Novena to the Divine Mercy, Day One.

Today, bring to me all mankind, especially all sinners, and immerse them in the ocean of my mercy.

In this way, you will console me in the bitter grief into which the loss of souls plunges me.

Most merciful Jesus, whose very nature is to have compassion on us and to forgive us.

Do not look upon our sins, but upon our trust which we place in your infinite goodness. Receive us all into the abode of your most

compassionate heart and never let us escape from it. We beg this of you by your love, which

unites you to the Father and the Holy Spirit. Eternal Father, turn your merciful gaze upon all mankind and especially upon poor sinners

all enfolded in the most compassionate heart of Jesus

for the sake of his sorrowful passion show us your mercy

that we may praise the omnipotence of your mercy forever and ever. Amen.
