Prayer at the Hour of Mercy | April 20, 2022

Thank you for joining the Saint John Paul II National Shrine today. In this unprecedented crisis, the Shrine is committed to sharing the message of hope and resilience of Saint John Paul II by striving to meet the spiritual needs of a growing number of virtual visitors. We thank you for the support of your prayers.

In preparation for Divine Mercy Sunday, we will pray a novena every day at 3:00 p.m. for 9 days, beginning on Good Friday. The Novena includes the following prayers and the Chaplet of Divine Mercy. The Lord Jesus promised: By this novena, I will grant every possible grace to souls (Diary 796).

EASTER WEDNESDAY, 6TH DAY OF THE NOVENA
Leader: Jesus said: Today bring to Me the meek and humble souls and the souls of little
children, and immerse them in My mercy. These souls most closely resemble My Heart. They
strengthened Me during My bitter agony. I saw them as earthly Angels, who would keep vigil
at My altars. I pour out upon them whole torrents of grace. Only the humble soul is able to
receive My grace, I favor humble souls with My confidence.

All: Most Merciful Jesus, / You Yourself have said, Learn from Me for
I am meek and humble of heart. / Receive into the abode of Your Most
Compassionate Heart all meek and humble souls and the souls of little
children. / These souls send all heaven into ecstasy and they are the heavenly
Father’s favorites. / They are a sweet-smelling bouquet before the throne of
God; / God Himself takes delight in their fragrance. / These souls have a
permanent abode in Your Most Compassionate Heart, O Jesus, / and they
unceasingly sing out a hymn of love and mercy.

All: Eternal Father, / turn Your merciful gaze upon meek and humble souls,
/ and upon the souls of the little children who are enfolded in the abode
/ which is the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. These souls bear the
closest resemblance to Your Son. Their fragrance rises from the earth and
reaches Your very throne. Father of mercy and of all goodness, / I beg You
by the love You bear these souls / and by the delight You take in them: /
bless the whole world, / that all souls together may sing out the praises of
Your mercy for endless ages. Amen.

CHAPLET OF THE DIVINE MERCY:
Begin with: Our Father…, Hail Mary…,

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 five large 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 ten small beads: For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world.

Conclude with (3 times): Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us and on the whole world.
