Novena to the Divine Mercy

I am on my 4th day Novena to the Divine Mercy. I got hold of the booklet of the Divine Mercy some many years ago when I was young. I got it from my grandmother. Everytime my grandfather is confined in the hospital due to pulmonary problems, that booklet was my companion (aside from the rosary and many other novenaries). I've read it from cover to cover. The promises of saying the Novena to the Divine Mercy is so unfathomable. It shows that the Mercy of God works is unmeasurable. One sentence that really struck me is "souls that spread the honor of my Mercy, I shield through their entire life as a tender mother her infant and at the hour of death I will not be a judge for them but a Merciful Saviour". Ain't that a great promise! The feast of the Divine Mercy is the Sunday after Easter, this happens to be May 1 this year, also the day Pope John Paul II will be cannonized.

Before writing this entry I googled "Divine Mercy" and found this:

Divine Mercy Chaplet excerpts from the Diary of Sister Faustina:

687 Say unceasingly the Divine Mercy Chaplet that I have thought you. Whoever will recite it will receive great mercy at the hour of death. Priests will recommend it to sinners as their last hope of salvation. Even if there were a sinner most hardened, if he were to recite this chaplet only once, he would receive grace from My infinite mercy. I desire to grant unimaginable graces to those souls who trust in My mercy.






1541 My daughter, encourage souls to say the Divine Mercy Chaplet which I have given to you. It pleases Me to grant everything they ask of Me by saying the chaplet. When hardened sinners say it, I will fill their souls with peace, and the hour of their death will be a happy one.






1541 Write that when they say this Divine Mercy Chaplet in the presence of the dying, I will stand between My Father and the dying person, not as the just Judge but as a merciful Saviour.






1731 Through the chaplet you will obtain everything, if what you ask for is compatible with My Will.
