1⃣ DIVINE MERCY NOVENA
DAY 7 - APRIL 21
INTENTION
Today bring to Me THE SOULS WHO ESPECIALLY VENERATE AND GLORIFY MY MERCY, and immerse them in My mercy. These souls sorrowed most over my Passion and entered most deeply into My spirit. They are living images of My Compassionate Heart. These souls will shine with a special brightness in the next life. Not one of them will go into the fire of hell. I shall particularly defend each one of them at the hour of death.
NOVENA PRAYERS
Most Merciful Jesus, whose Heart is Love Itself, receive into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart the souls of those who particularly extol and venerate the greatness of Your mercy. These souls are mighty with the very power of God Himself. In the midst of all afflictions and adversities they go forward, confident of Your mercy; and united to You, O Jesus, they carry all mankind on their shoulders. These souls will not be judged severely, but Your mercy will embrace them as they depart from this life.
Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon the souls who glorify and venerate Your greatest attribute, that of Your fathomless mercy, and who are enclosed in the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. These souls are a living Gospel; their hands are full of deeds of mercy, and their hearts, overflowing with joy, sing a canticle of mercy to You, O Most High! I beg You O God:
Show them Your mercy according to the hope and trust they have placed in You. Let there be accomplished in them the promise of Jesus, who said to them that during their life, but especially at the hour of death, the souls who will venerate this fathomless mercy of His, He, Himself, will defend as His glory. Amen.
Pray the "DIVINE MERCY CHAPLET".

2⃣ NOVENA TO OUR LADY OF GOOD COUNSEL
DAY 5 - APRIL 21
Mary, our Mother, you have always been concerned with the affairs of the world and of each person throughout history. In the 16th century in Mexico, you counseled Juan Diego, saying, “Do not be troubled or weighed down with grief. Do not fear any illness or vexation, anxiety or pain. Am I not here, who am your Mother? Is there anything else you need?” Our Lady of Good Counsel, today, I ask for your intercession for a world in need of your guidance and for counsel in my own life.
(State your intentions here…)
Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be...
PRAYER: Blessed Mary, Star of the Sea, guide us now as you have guided pilgrims in years past. Be our constant beacon, a blazing light in this dark night, and lead us home to dwell with your Son forever and ever. Amen.
For guidance for our friends, pray for us.
For counsel for those who are lonely, pray for us.
For an increase in love, trust, and devotion to your Immaculate Heart that leads us to Jesus, pray for us.

3⃣ NOVENA TO ST. LOUIS DE MONTFORT
DAY 3 - APRIL 21
St. Louis de Montfort, you consecrated yourself to Jesus through Mary in your earthly life and are even more fully devoted to them now in Heaven. I ask that you present my petitions before our most blessed Mother, who will in turn place them at the feet of her Son.
(State your intentions here…)
Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be...
St. Louis de Montfort, one of the ten principal virtues that Mary exemplified was blind obedience. Please intercede on my behalf that I may become a more immediately obedient child of God. Amen.
St. Louis de Montfort: Pray for us!

4⃣ NOVENA TO ST. CATHERINE OF SIENA
DAY 2 - APRIL 21
THE ETERNAL FATHER SPEAKS TO CATHERINE:
My Truth invited you to call out thus when He said: “Call and you will be answered; knock and it shall be opened to you; ask and it shall be given to you.” So I am telling you what I want you to do. Never relax your desire to ask for My help. Never lower you voice in crying out to Me to be merciful to the world. Never stop knocking at the door of my Truth by following in His footsteps. Find your delight with Him on the cross by feeding on souls for the glory and praise of My Name.
PRAYER: Heavenly Father, your glory is in your saints. We praise your glory in the life of the admirable St. Catherine of Siena, virgin and doctor of the Church. Her whole life was a noble sacrifice inspired by an ardent love of Jesus, your unblemished Lamb. In troubled times she strenuously upheld the rights of His beloved spouse, The Church. Father, honor her merits and hear her prayers for each of us. Help us to pass unscathed through the corruption of this world, and to remain unshakably faithful to the church in word, deed, and example. Help us always to see in the Vicar of Christ an anchor in the storms of life, and a beacon of light to the harbor of your Love, in this dark night of your times and men's souls. Grant also to each of us our special petition...
(State your intentions here…)
We ask this through Jesus, your Son, in the bond of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be...
St. Catherine of Siena: Pray for us!
