On the first day of the Divine Mercy Novena, we pray for all mankind, especially sinners. Jesus instructed St. Faustina to bring “all mankind, especially all sinners” to His mercy. The prayer for this day implores God’s mercy to embrace the whole world, asking that the Blood and Water which flowed from Jesus’ heart be a fount of grace for all souls. We pray especially for those most in need of God’s mercy, that they may find refuge in His compassionate heart and experience the transforming power of His forgiveness.
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 it 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 for ever and ever. Amen.
“TheDivine Mercy Chaplet” is a powerful devotion given by Jesus Christ Himself to St. Faustina Kowalska in 1935. Through this prayer, Jesus revealed His immense desire to pour out His boundless mercy upon all souls who turn to Him with trust. It invites us to approach the throne of mercy with confidence, offering the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus to the Eternal Father in atonement for sins. Each prayer becomes a channel of grace, with Jesus assuring St. Faustina that through this chaplet, we can obtain everything that is compatible with His will.

The “Three O’clock Hour” is the hour that Christ died on the cross. It was at this moment that the gates of Heaven opened up for souls, and according to the Diary of St. Faustina, Jesus said that it is the hour of great mercy. Whatever a soul asks of the Lord at this hour, he will not deny, as long as it is asked with love and trust in His Divine Mercy. This prayer was given to St. Faustina by Jesus to be said at the 3 o’clock hour each day. The Divine Mercy Chaplet is ordinarily prayed afterwards (Divine Mercy Chaplet).
You expired, O Jesus, but the source of life gushed forth for souls and an 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.
O Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a fount of mercy for us, I trust in You.

The Divine Mercy Novena & Chaplet devotion originated with the visions of St. Faustina Kowalska, a Polish nun who lived in the early 20th century. In her visions, Jesus asked her to spread devotion to his divine mercy, which offers grace and forgiveness to even the most hardened sinners.
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 it 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 for ever and ever. Amen.
Today bring to Me THE SOULS OF PRIESTS AND RELIGIOUS, and immerse them in My unfathomable mercy. It was they who gave Me strength to endure My bitter Passion. Through them as through channels My mercy flows out upon mankind.
Most Merciful Jesus, from whom comes all that is good, increase Your grace in men and women consecrated to Your service, that they may perform worthy works of mercy; and that all who see them may glorify the Father of Mercy who is in heaven.
Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon the company of chosen ones in Your vineyard—upon the souls of priests and religious; and endow them with the strength of Your blessing. For the love of the Heart of Your Son in which they are enfolded, impart to them Your power and light, that they may be able to guide others in the way of salvation and with one voice sing praise to Your boundless mercy for ages without end. Amen.
Today bring to Me ALL DEVOUT AND FAITHFUL SOULS, and immerse them in the ocean of My mercy. These souls brought Me consolation on the Way of the Cross. They were that drop of consolation in the midst of an ocean of bitterness. Most Merciful Jesus, from the treasury of Your mercy, You impart Your graces in great abundance to each and all. Receive us into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart and never let us escape from It. We beg this grace of You by that most wonderous love for the Heavenly Father with which Your Heart burns so fiercely.
Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon faithful souls, as upon the inheritance of Your Son. For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, grant them Your blessing and surround them with Your constant protection. Thus may they never fail in love or lose the treasure of the holy faith, but rather, with all the hosts of Angels and Saints, may they glorify Your boundless mercy for endless ages. Amen.
Today bring to Me THOSE WHO DO NOT BELIEVE IN GOD AND THOSE WHO DO NOT YET KNOW ME. I was thinking also of them during My bitter Passion, and their future zeal comforted My Heart. Immerse them in the ocean of My mercy.
Most compassionate Jesus, You are the Light of the whole world. Receive into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart the souls of those who do not believe in God and of those who as yet do not know You. Let the rays of Your grace enlighten them that they, too, together with us, may extol Your wonderful mercy; and do not let them escape from the abode which is Your Most Compassionate Heart.
Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon the souls of those who do not believe in You, and of those who as yet do not know You, but who are enclosed in the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. Draw them to the light of the Gospel. These souls do not know what great happiness it is to love You. Grant that they, too, may extol the generosity of Your mercy for endless ages. Amen.
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.
Today bring to Me THE MEEK AND HUMBLE SOULS AND THE SOULS OF LITTLE CHILDREN, and immerse them in My mercy. These souls most closely resemble My Heart. They strengthened Me during My bitter agony. I saw them as earthly Angels, who will keep vigil at My altars. I pour out upon them whole torrents of grace. Only the humble soul is capable of receiving My grace. I favor humble souls with My confidence.
Most Merciful Jesus, You yourself have said, “Learn from Me for I am meek and humble of heart.” Receive into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart all meek and humble souls and the souls of little children. These souls send all heaven into ecstasy and they are the heavenly Father’s favorites. They are a sweet-smelling bouquet before the throne of God; God Himself takes delight in their fragrance. These souls have a permanent abode in Your Most Compassionate Heart, O Jesus, and they unceasingly sing out a hymn of love and mercy.
Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon meek souls, upon humble souls, and upon little children who are enfolded in the abode which is the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. These souls bear the closest resemblance to Your Son. Their fragrance rises from the earth and reaches Your very throne. Father of mercy and of all goodness, I beg You by the love You bear these souls and by the delight You take in them: Bless the whole world, that all souls together may sing out the praises of Your mercy for endless ages. Amen.
Today bring to Me THE SOULS WHO ESPECIALLY VENERATE AND GLORIFY MY MERCY, and immerse them in My mercy. These souls sorrowed most over my Passion and entered most deeply into My spirit. They are living images of My Compassionate Heart. These souls will shine with a special brightness in the next life. Not one of them will go into the fire of hell. I shall particularly defend each one of them at the hour of death.
Most Merciful Jesus, whose Heart is Love Itself, receive into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart the souls of those who particularly extol and venerate the greatness of Your mercy. These souls are mighty with the very power of God Himself. In the midst of all afflictions and adversities they go forward, confident of Your mercy; and united to You, O Jesus, they carry all mankind on their shoulders. These souls will not be judged severely, but Your mercy will embrace them as they depart from this life.
Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon the souls who glorify and venerate Your greatest attribute, that of Your fathomless mercy, and who are enclosed in the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. These souls are a living Gospel; their hands are full of deeds of mercy, and their hearts, overflowing with joy, sing a canticle of mercy to You, O Most High!
I beg You O God: show them Your mercy according to the hope and trust they have placed in You. Let there be accomplished in them the promise of Jesus, who said to them that during their life, but especially at the hour of death, the souls who will venerate this fathomless mercy of His, He, Himself, will defend as His glory. Amen.
Today bring to Me THE SOULS WHO ARE DETAINED IN PURGATORY, 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.
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.
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.

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen.

Then, on each of the 10 smaller beads that follow, pray…
For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world.
BIBLE VERSES & MEDITATIONS
First Decade Meditations Jesus came with his disciples to the Garden of Gethsemane, and he said to them, “Sit down here, while I go over yonder and pray.” A heavy weight of sorrow and distress falls upon Jesus.
His agony is so great that His sweat becomes like drops of blood.
He prays fervently to the Father, asking that this cup be removed from Him.
Having prayed three times, and bathed in a sweat of blood, Jesus watches as His betrayer, Judas, approaches with an angry mob.
He describes the sorrow of His Soul as even unto death.
He submits to His Father’s will; and hands himself over to be arrested.
All of his disciples desert him and run away. Jesus is left to fend for Himself.
The guards seize Jesus, bind him, and bring him to the Jewish leaders and high priests; where they condemn Jesus as liable to death.
Like furious lions, they surround Jesus and torment him with thousands of insults, spits, lacerations, and blows.
He is then thrown into a cold, dark holding cell, where He spends the rest of the night until the morning when they will bring him to the Sanhedrin.
2nd Decade Meditations The next morning, Pontius Pilate hands Jesus over to the Roman soldiers, who readily execute their cruelest punishments upon Jesus, who they consider to be an insurrectionist.
The blows and strikes delivered to Jesus leaves His face bruised, broken, and disfigured.
Though Jesus is harshly treated, He remains silent and opens not His mouth.
Like a lamb led to slaughter or a sheep silent before shearers, He does not open His mouth.
Jesus is then stripped of His clothes, his hands bound to the pillar, and is severely scourged with a Roman scourging whip.
The scourging whip used on Jesus has small iron balls and sharp sheep bones attached to it.
The blows from the iron balls inflicts excruciating pain and bruising to His body, while the sheep bones tear away small pieces of His flesh.
After scourging His back, shoulders, and lower extremities of His body, the Roman soldiers turn Jesus around and do the same to His front side.
When finished, the Body of Christ is completely ravaged; open wounds, gashes and stripes cover His entire bloodied Body.
The Pillar and the ground beneath where He was scourged are completed covered with His blood.
3rd Decade Meditations With sneers, mockery, and laughter, the soldiers put a purple cloak on Jesus and press it against His severely wounded Body.
The texture of cloak further irritates the open wounds.
The soldiers wove a crown of thorns and place it on His head.
They use a stick to press down on the crown so that the thorns deeply embed into Jesus’ head.
Streams of blood flow down over the face of Jesus, as the thorns press against His skull.
The soldiers place a reed in His right hand.
They kneel before Him and mock Him, saying “Hail, King of the Jews!” They take the reed and strike Him repeatedly over the head.
They spit upon Him and pluck at His beard.
The wounds on Jesus are further ripped open as the Roman soldiers tear away the purple cloak from His Body and they put His own clothes back on Him.
4th Decade Meditations At the urging of the chief priests and officers, Pontius Pilate orders Jesus to be crucified.
Jesus takes the cross and begins the journey to Golgotha.
He is forced to walk barefoot on the rough and dusty road, and is pulled with ropes by the soldiers to hurry him.
Weakened by so much trauma, Jesus struggles to find the strength needed to carry His cross.
The crowds on both sides hurl insults, stones, and other objects at Him. The body of Jesus enters into shock from having lost a large amount of blood.
Three times He falls during the journey; being crushed each time under the weight of the cross.
With each fall, the guards and crowd move in to further assault and harrass Jesus.
Splinters from the wood of the cross drive deep into His shoulder, which is already bruised and torn from the scourging.
To expedite the journey, the soldiers recruit Simon of Cyrene from the crowd to help Jesus finish the journey to Golgotha.
5th Decade Meditations Before being laid down to be crucified, Jesus is offered wine mixed with gall, a mild anesthesia, but He refuses to take it.
He is then roughly thrown to the ground and positioned on the cross to be crucified.
With indescribable cruelty His arms and legs are stretched on the Cross, pulled from all sides; dislocating His limbs.
A heavy, square, iron nail is driven through each of His hands and deep into the wood of the cross.
His left foot is then positioned against the top of His right foot, and with both feet extended, toes down, a nail is driven through the arch of each.
As His cross is raised and positioned upward, the weight of Jesus’s body on the nails through His hand sends excruciating pain throughout the nerves in His arms and Body.
In order to take of breath of air, Jesus needs to lift His body up by pushing His weight down on His nailed feet.
Hung naked and exposed, those passing by Jesus revile him, while the guards cast lots for His clothes.
[Feeling] Turned away by His Father, Jesus cries out “My God, My God, why have You abandoned Me.”
After three hours on the Cross, Jesus announces “It is finished”, and dies. A soldier pierces His side with a lance; a stream of blood and water gushes out.
At the end of the Chaplet, pray three times…
Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us and on the whole world.
[Optional] 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.
