Here are the prayers for Day Six of the Divine Mercy Novena, which falls on the Wednesday after Easter.

Today, we pray for “the meek and humble souls and the souls of little children.”

Read today’s intention, meditation, and prayer out loud before you start the chaplet.  

Meditation for Day 6: How can I protect and respect all human life, from the unborn to the disabled to the elderly?  In what ways can I practice humility in my own family? How can I practice the meekness yet courage of Mary, our Mother?

The Divine Mercy Novena, Day 6:

“Today bring to Me the meek and humble souls and the souls of little children and immerse them in My mercy.”

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.

Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon meek souls, upon humble souls, and upon 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.
