Subject: August News & Day 1 Monthly Novenas for Our Nations

Yes! Fr Chris Alar joins us this month!
-

Dear Friend,


One of the most hopeful things we think Jesus told Saint Faustina for these times was, "Because of you I am blessing your country."   While so many in the world are completely distracted, lost, or in despair over the condition of the world, we trust that the Lord will do the same for us if we pray and sacrifice as our Lord and Lady have directed us through the Church, Saints, and approved mystics.


At the top of the list of these directives to bless our families and country is by praying the Holy Rosary, so we are gla that it is time for the annual 54-Day Rosary Novena for Our Nation.


The 54-Day Rosary Novena is Upon Us!

August 15 - October 7


As we explain in our August News and Updates video posted below, those who register for the novena with us at DivineMercyforAmerica.org will receive the daily prayers very early in the morning in written, audio, and video format options. All you have to do is open up your email or text and Click and Pray! How easy is that??

For now, click on the video below to hear all about the novena, the Kickoff with Fr. Chris, and the rest of our prayer meeting opportunities this month. See the recap notes below plus the novena prayers and links for today's online prayer meeting.

Thanks for your faithfulness. May God bless America, or your native land, because of you!

Monthly Novenas for America

Nine Days of Prayer for Your Nation


1. The Litany of the Saints

Make a novena for your country. This novena will consist of the recitation of the Litany of the Saints.  (Jesus to St. Faustina, Diary passage 59)

Litany of the Saints Audio
Litany of the Saints Text

Order the Divine Mercy for America Prayer Guide containing the Litany of the Saints, the Chaplet of Divine Mercy, and Diary quotes regarding prayer for native lands.


2. The Chaplet of Divine Mercy

I want all the sisters and wards to say the chaplet which I have taught you. They are to say it for nine days in the chapel in order to appease My Father and to entreat God’s mercy for Poland. (Diary, 714)

3. Divine Mercy Holy Hour

Another time I heard these words: Make a daily hour of adoration for nine days. During this adoration try to unite yourself in prayer with My Mother. Pray with all your heart in union with Mary, and try also during this time to make the Way of the Cross. I was to make this novena for the intention of my Motherland. (Diary, 32, 33)

St. Faustina's Way of Cross Audio

Pray with Fr. Seraphim Michalenko

If it is not possible to make a holy hour with Jesus exposed in a monstrance, do so before a blessed image of The Divine Mercy. Enter into deep prayer with one of the world's leading authorities on the Divine Mercy message and devotion, Fr. Seraphim Michalenko, MIC, as he delivers profound insights and leads prayers from The Divine Mercy Adoration Companion. Recorded live before the Blessed Sacrament.

4. Holy Communions

On the feast of the Assumption in 1934, the Blessed Virgin Mary told St. Faustina: My daughter, what I demand from you is prayer, prayer, and once again prayer, for the world and especially for your country. For nine days receive Holy Communion in atonement and unite yourself closely to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. During these nine days you will stand before God as an offering; always and everywhere, at all times and places, day or night, whenever you wake up, pray in the spirit. In spirit, one can always remain in prayer. (Diary, 325)
