Subject: Good Friday News Flash - Novenas for USA start today

Meeting via Zoom the next 9 Days to Mercy Sunday
-

Dear Friend,


Blessed Good Friday!


Our Lenten journey has taken us to Calvary, a day of prayer, fasting, and union with Our Lord as we recall His Passion and Death. May it be a holy day for you!


We are starting the monthly novenas for our nation a few days early to coincide perfectly with the Divine Mercy Novena that begins today in preparation for the Feast of Mercy.


Over the next nine days, we will meet via Zoom with devoted souls from across the United States and beyond, imploring Our Lady's intercession and begging for mercy upon us and the whole world as the Lord directed of St. Faustina.


A special guest will join us each day to lead us in reflections on our prayers for the particular group of souls we will bring to the Lord as he requested. Check out the lineup below, which I would like to call our "Divine Mercy Squares" graphic.


We're happy so many join us regularly for our online meeting, both live and by viewing the recording. This time together will lead us into closer union with Jesus's merciful heart and prepare us well for the celebration of the Feast of Mercy at its conclusion, which the world needs now more than ever.


Eclipse Panel Discussion - Rave Reviews

On that note, we are getting rave reviews of the panel discussion we facilitated via Zoom on Tuesday, March 26, regarding the total solar eclipse of the sun traversing the United States on April 8, the day after Mercy Sunday, and more.


Here is just one common remark -


Absolutely wonderful talk. The Divine Mercy of Jesus is limitless. Thank you so much for such an awesome talk, from the signs in the sky to the Scriptures to the Warning and the Miracle. This talk should be passed on far and wide.


Our panel guests were Maureen Flynn from Signs and Wonders and Pray and Fast for America, Oscar Delgado, producer of the film St. Michael—Meet the Angel, Dr. Peter Howard of the Fulton Sheen Institute, and Karen Japzon of John Leaps Evangelization.


If you have yet to hear it, we hope you will find some time to do so now. Time is of the essence, and this should be a source of inspiration.

Monthly Novenas for America

Nine Days of Prayer for the USA

Day 1 - Friday, March 29, 2024


1. The Litany of the Saints

Make a novena for your country. This novena will consist of the recitation of the Litany of the Saints.  (Jesus to St. Faustina, Diary passage 59)

Order the Divine Mercy for America Prayer Guide containing the Litany of the Saints, the Chaplet of Divine Mercy, and Diary quotes regarding prayer for native lands.


2. The Chaplet of Divine Mercy

I want all the sisters and wards to say the chaplet which I have taught you. They are to say it for nine days in the chapel in order to appease My Father and to entreat God’s mercy for Poland. (Diary, 714)

3. Divine Mercy Holy Hour

Another time I heard these words: Make a daily hour of adoration for nine days. During this adoration try to unite yourself in prayer with My Mother. Pray with all your heart in union with Mary, and try also during this time to make the Way of the Cross. I was to make this novena for the intention of my Motherland. (Diary, 32, 33)

Pray with Fr. Seraphim Michalenko

If it is not possible to make a holy hour with Jesus exposed in a monstrance, do so before a blessed image of The Divine Mercy. Enter into deep prayer with one of the world's leading authorities on the Divine Mercy message and devotion, Fr. Seraphim Michalenko, MIC, as he delivers profound insights and leads prayers from The Divine Mercy Adoration Companion. Recorded live before the Blessed Sacrament.

4. Holy Communions

On the feast of the Assumption in 1934, the Blessed Virgin Mary told St. Faustina: My daughter, what I demand from you is prayer, prayer, and once again prayer, for the world and especially for your country. For nine days receive Holy Communion in atonement and unite yourself closely to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. During these nine days you will stand before God as an offering; always and everywhere, at all times and places, day or night, whenever you wake up, pray in the spirit. In spirit, one can always remain in prayer. (Diary, 325)
