Subject: Start Your Novenas Today - Pray for Peace

Dive into Lent and build momentum with us toward the Mercy Sunday
-

Dear Friend,


Tomorrow is the first day of Lent, Ash Wednesday. Much of the world is celebrating Mardi Gras or Fat Tuesday, partying and feasting before diving into the Church's penitential season.


But did you know that today, the day before Ash Wednesday, is Shrove Tuesday, or the Feast of the Holy Face of Jesus?


If we are aware of both the practice and the purpose of donning our foreheads with ashes, we can understand that contemplating the Holy Face, beaten, battered, and scorned, is by far the best way to spend "Mardi Gras."


Our special guest for today's ZOOM prayer meeting, Don Nohs, will be telling us all about the Feast of the Holy Face, and tomorrow's guest, Fr. Donald Kloster will be adding even more to the discussion.

 

By genuinely contemplating the Holy Face of Jesus, we can better comprehend the solemnity of both the practice and purpose of Ash Wednesday and embrace the Lenten journey that leads to the outpouring of abundant grace on the Feast of Mercy.


The problem is that many do not have a clue about any of this.


Here is where Mercy Sunday Momentum 2022 comes in and why we're happy you are a part of Divine Mercy for America.


Throughout Lent, we will be sending weekly emails to help including:

  • A short video explaining Divine Mercy for those who don't know about it

  • Further in-depth teaching on Divine Mercy for those who want to learn more

  • Life-changing testimonies on how Divine Mercy has impacted real people

  • Suggested products and resources to make sharing the Divine Mercy message easy

  • Tips for enhancing Divine Mercy Sunday celebrations

SPECIAL GUESTS ADD MORE!


In addition to the emails chock full of fabulous info, we have a line-up of exceptional guest speakers to help us enter into the Lenten season with a splash. If you are unable to join us live, visit the Divine Mercy for America YouTube channel to catch up when you can.

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)
