Here's how to hop on the Soul Train this Lent
-

Dear Friend,


We've got some good news for you today!


The "Soul Train" is on track and running down the line.


 Yes, indeed, Mercy Sunday Momentum is ramping up like never before. Amid all the terrible things in the world, thousands upon thousands are turning to the Lord this Lent with greater gusto in prayer, fasting, adoration, repentance, and hopefully, almsgiving. Praise the Lord!

 

A Nation Under God that Trusts

This Lent, during the 250th Anniversary of the birth of the United States of America, a nation founded on Christian principles, a nation under God, we trust in the power and promises of Almighty God and encourage all to do everything within their power to help souls prepare, promote, and celebrate Divine Mercy Sunday to the fullest.


Think about all the good things that can happen: conversions of great sinners, spiritual and physical healings, reconciliations, the end to hatred, violence, strife, and wars, relief for the poor and lonely, restoration of the holiness of our Church, to name a few – whew!


By the end of this month, we will be heading into Holy Week, so there is no time to waste.


Through our Mercy Sunday Momentum initiative, informative emails, podcasts, and videos will flow to you this month with great ways to help you and others join the "Soul Train." Be sure to check them out and pass them along.


Stellar guest speakers will join us for the Monthly Holy Hour Novena for Our Nations, which you can hear and pray with live or via recordings, with tips and inspirations to Make the Most of Lent 2026. See the lineup below, and for more details, listen to our recorded message.


54-Day Rosary Novena for Mercy Update

The Worldwide 54-Day Rosary Novena for Mercy, which began on Ash Wednesday, has more participants than ever before, thanks to the Coalition of Eucharistic and Marian Apostolates (CEMA) participating.


If you haven't joined the novena yet, it's never too late. Just hop on and enjoy the ride until Divine Mercy Sunday. You'll be so glad you did. Join the 54-Day Rosary Novena.


The second half of the novena in thanksgiving begins on March 17. We will livestream a Second-Half Kickoff Zoom Meeting that day, featuring Fr. Richard Heilman, apostolate leaders, and faithful from around the world, at 4:00 pm Eastern. Mark your calendar and spread the word. Look for reminder emails as we draw closer to St. Patrick's Day.

There's more in our message and notes below. We're pumped and hope you are too, because we know the Lord desires to heal our land and answer our prayers. In God we Trust!

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)

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)

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)
