Subject: Msg from Dave & Joan plus Start Novenas for Our Country Today - Help Bring Down the Holy Spirit

Happy Feast of St. Joseph
-

Dear Friend,


Happy Easter!


Yes, it is still the Easter Season, but not for long! Exciting times are ahead.


There are just nine more days in the liturgical year before Jesus leaves this earth and ascends to heaven, but not before leaving some crucial instructions and direction to His apostles - words that we should take to heart as well:


 "Wait for the promise of the Father. . .

You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, throughout Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth." 

Acts 1:4,6.


Our monthly novenas for our country are an excellent way to be united in prayer during the last days of the Easter Season and prepare for Pentecost. We've got another great line-up of guest speakers for the online prayer meeting and holy hour, and we hope you can join us. The details are below and in our May message. Just click and hear all about them and other updates.

Monthly Novenas for America

Nine Days of Prayer for the USA

Day 1 - May 1, 2024


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)
