Subject: You won't believe what is happening on Ash Wednesday this year!

Get ready now!
-

Dear Friend,


It's time!


It's time to get ready for Lent, which is exactly three weeks away. Ash Wednesday falls this year on a special day, February 22, and we believe it means a lot.


What is so special about February 22? Why do we need to be prepared for Ash Wednesday like never before? We cover it all in our message this month. Just click the arrow below and let us tell you all about the importance of the next three weeks and all of Lent. But here is a sneak preview. These are words of Jesus recorded in the Diary of St. Faustina, passage 367:


"Let me tell you that there are souls living in the world who love me dearly. I dwell in their hearts with delight. But they are few...There number is very small. They are a defense for the world before the justice of the Heavenly Father and a means of obtaining mercy for the world. Love and sacrifice of these souls sustain the world in existence . . . "


See how important you are?


We implore you to make the novenas this month for the success of the 2023 Mercy Sunday Momentum campaign. The salvation of souls is at stake, and we will be held accountable for what we did and did not do to save them. Join the momentum and encourage others to do the same. Let's tell the whole world about the unfathomable mercy of God!


God bless you, and may God bless America because of you!

Monthly Novenas for America

Nine days of Prayer for the USA

Day 1 - Wednesday, February 1, 2023


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)
