Ninth Day

(Diary entries 1228-1229)


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 flee 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.


Fire and ice cannot be joined;

Either the fire dies, or the ice melts.

But by Your mercy, O God,

You can make up for all that is lacking.


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.

(Diary entry 476)


The Our Father

Our Father, Who art in heaven, Hallowed be Thy Name. Thy Kingdom come. Thy Will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.


The Hail Mary

Hail, Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.


The Apostles’ Creed

I believe in God, the Father almighty, Creator of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried; he descended into hell; on the third day he rose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty; from there he will come to judge the living and the dead. 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.


On the Our Father Beads

Eternal Father, I offer you the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Your Dearly Beloved Son, Our Lord, Jesus Christ, in atonement for our sins and those of the whole world.


On the Hail Mary Beads

For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world.


Concluding Prayer

Holy God,

Holy Mighty One,

Holy Immortal One,

have mercy on us and

on the whole world. (3x)

(Diary entry 476)


Optional Closing Prayer

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. (Diary entry 950)

The following poem is the next entry in the Diary after the Novena to The Divine Mercy


Diary entry 1230:


O day of eternity, O day so long desired,

With thirst and longing, my eyes search you out.

Soon love will tear the veil asunder,

And you will be my salvation.


O day most beautiful, moment incomparable,

When for the first time I shall see my God,

The Bridegroom of my soul and Lord of lords,

And fear will not restrain my soul.


O day most solemn, O day of brightness,

When the soul will know God in His omnipotence

And drown totally in His love,

Knowing the miseries of exile are o’er.


O happy day, O blessed day,

When my heart will burn for You with fire eternal,

For even now I feel Your presence, though through the veil.

Through life and death, O Jesus, You are my rapture and delight.


O day, of which I dreamed through all my life,

Waiting long for You, O God,

For it is You alone whom I desire.

You are the one and only of my heart; all else is naught.


O day of delight, day of eternal bliss,

God of great majesty, my beloved Spouse,

You know that nothing will satisfy a virgin heart.

On Your tender Heart I rest my brow.


 

Where in the Diary does Jesus speak about the novena?


Diary entry 1209:


Jesus, I trust in You.


Novena to The Divine Mercy


which Jesus instructed me to write down and make before the Feast of Mercy. It begins on Good Friday.


I desire that during these nine days you bring souls to the fountain of My mercy, that they may draw therefrom strength and refreshment and whatever grace they need in the hardships of life, and especially at the hour of death.


On each day you will bring to My Heart a different group of souls, and you will immerse them in this ocean of My mercy, and I will bring all these souls into the house of My Father. You will do this in this life and in the next. I will deny nothing to any soul whom you will bring to the fount of My mercy. On each day you will beg My Father, on the strength of My bitter Passion, for graces for these souls.


I answered, “Jesus, I do not know how to make this novena or which souls to bring first into Your Most Compassionate Heart.” Jesus replied that He would tell me which souls to bring each day into His Heart.
