Jesus, I Trust in You (Divine Mercy)
Church Year April 13th, 2006
Tomorrow begins the Divine Mercy Novena which is a powerful nine day set of prayers beginning on Good Friday and ending on Divine Mercy Sunday (the second Sunday of Easter). Jesus appeared to St. Faustina on several occasions as she relates in her diary. Regarding the novena, she wrote that Jesus revealed to her:
On each day of the novena you will bring to My Heart a different group of souls and you will immerse them in this ocean of My mercy… On each day you will beg My Father, on the strength of My passion, for the graces for these souls. By this novena I will grant every possible grace to souls.
To participate in this wonderful practice, you can visit this Divine Mercy Novena page (also used as a source for the above quote). For more information on the chaplet associated with St. Faustina and the novena, you can visit this page on the Divine Mercy Chaplet.
I participated in the chaplet and novena last year and can say that it is a wonderful spiritual practice. I am excited about doing it again this year!

Hi Jonathan, hope you are doing well and in great spirits. I came across your blog through Carmel, soon to be your beloved wife. When is the big day anyway??
There is a song that I generally sing if I remember and I’m alone, @ 3:00.
It goes,
Eternal Father, I offer you the body and the blood. Soul and divinity, or your dearly beloved Son. Our Lord Jesus, Christ, in attonent of our sins, and those of the whole world, For the Sake of your Sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world. For the sake of your Sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us, and on the whole world. (10x). Then you start again, its like a rosary but sung.
“Eternal Father………..”

Hi Gabby, I love that song and have chosen to do the same thing, i’m glad you shared that.
Jonathan and I will be planning a wedding date soon after some immigration finalizations.
