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.
Divine Mercy Novena — Day 1
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.
