Divine Mercy Novena Day Seven – Easter Thursday

Here are the prayers for the seventh day of the Divine Mercy Novena, which falls on Easter Thursday.

Today we pray for “the souls who especially venerate and glorify” Jesus’ mercy.

Meditation for Day 7: How has Jesus shown you or your family mercy in the past?  How is He showing you mercy right now? Praise him for all He has done in your life!

The Divine Mercy Novena Day 7:

“Today bring to Me the souls who especially venerate and glorify My mercy and immerse them in My mercy.”

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
