I am Mother to You All


Today we continue our series highlighting teachings and spirituality gleaned from Divine Mercy in My Soul, the Diary of St. Maria Faustina Kowalska with a look at the visitations from Our Blessed Mother to the saint. Let us dive deep into this intimate relationship and learn from our Mother's loving words of instruction and encouragement.

 

"Most pleasing to Me is that soul which faithfully carries out the will of God." (Our Lady to St. Faustina, Diary entry 449)


Discerning the will of God in our lives can be a challenging task. Within the writings of St. Faustina we have a great treasure of help from heaven itself. Who better to teach us what is pleasing to Her Son and God the Father than the mother of the only-begotten one?


We encourage you to set aside some time in these turbulent times and to contemplate the peace that comes from heaven alone. Read more in this excerpt from the Divine Mercy for America Action Plan: Devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary.

Why the Divine Mercy for America First-of-the-Month Novenas?


Good question! View the video to learn how the Divine Mercy for America campaign came about and about the four novenas Jesus asked St. Faustina to pray for her country.

And now on to the novenas.

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)


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 shares heartfelt 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)
