First Day
Today, bring to Me all mankind, especially all sinners,
and immerse them in the ocean of My mercy. In this way you will
console Me in the bitter grief into which the loss of souls
plunges Me.
Most Merciful Jesus, whose very nature it is to have compassion
on us and to forgive us, do not look upon our sins, but upon the
trust which we place in Your infinite goodness. Receive us all
into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart, and never let us
escape from It. We beg this of You by Your love which unites You
to the Father and the Holy Spirit.
O omnipotence of Divine Mercy, salvation of sinful man, You are
a sea of mercy and compassion. You aid him who entreats You with
humility.
Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon all mankind and
especially upon poor sinners, all enfolded in the Most
Compassionate Heart of Jesus. For the sake of His sorrowful
Passion, show us Your mercy, that we may praise the omnipotence of
Your mercy forever and ever. Amen.
( Recite - The Chaplet )
Second Day
Today bring to Me the souls of priests and religious, and
immerse them in My unfathomable mercy. It was they who gave Me the
strength to endure My bitter Passion. Through them, as through
channels, My mercy flows out upon mankind.
Most Merciful Jesus, from whom comes all that is good, increase
Your grace in us, that we may perform worthy works of mercy, and
that all who see us may glorify the Father of Mercy who is in
heaven.
The fountain of God's love dwells in pure hearts, bathed in the
Sea of Mercy, radiant as stars, bright as the dawn.
Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon the company of
chosen ones in Your vineyard upon the souls of priests and
religious; and endow them with the strength of Your blessing. For
the love of the Heart of Your Son, in which they are enfolded,
impart to them Your power and light, that they may be able to
guide others in the way of salvation, and with one voice sing
praise to Your boundless mercy for ages without end. Amen.

Third Day
Today bring to Me all devout and faithful souls, and
immerse them in the ocean of My mercy. These souls brought Me
consolation on the Way of the Cross. They were that drop of
consolation in the midst of an ocean of bitterness.
Most Merciful Jesus, from the treasury of Your mercy, You
impart Your graces in great abundance to each and all. Receive us
into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart and never let us
escape from It. We beg this of You by that most wondrous love for
the heavenly Father with which Your Heart burns so fiercely.
The miracles of mercy are impenetrable. Neither the sinner nor
just one will fathom them. When You cast upon us an eye of pity,
You draw us all closer to Your love.
Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon faithful souls, as
upon the inheritance of Your Son. For the sake of His sorrowful
Passion, grant them Your blessing and surround them with Your
constant protection. Thus may they never fail in love or lose the
treasure of the holy faith, but rather, with all the hosts of
Angels and Saints, may they glorify Your boundless mercy for
endless ages. Amen.

Fourth Day
Today bring to Me the pagans and those who do not yet know
me. I was thinking also of them during My bitter Passion, and
their future zeal comforted My Heart. Immerse them in the ocean of
My mercy.
Most Compassionate Jesus, You are the Light of the whole world.
Receive into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart the souls
of pagans who as yet do not know You. Let the rays of Your grace
enlighten them that they, too, together with us, may extol Your
wonderful mercy; and do not let them escape from the abode which
is Your Most Compassionate Heart.
May the light of Your love enlighten the souls in darkness;
Grant that these souls will know You and, together with us, praise
Your mercy.
Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon the souls of
pagans and of those who as yet do not know You, but who are
enclosed in the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. Draw them to
the light of the Gospel. These souls do not know what great
happiness it is to love You. Grant that they, too, may extol the
generosity of Your mercy for endless ages. Amen.
( Recite - The Chaplet )
Fifth Day
Today bring to Me the souls of heretics and schismatics, and
immerse them in the ocean of My mercy. During my bitter Passion
they tore at My Body and Heart; that is, My Church. As they return
to unity with the Church, My wounds heal, and in this way they
alleviate My Passion.
Most Merciful Jesus, Goodness Itself, You do not refuse light
to those who seek it of You. Receive into the abode of Your Most
Compassionate Heart the souls of heretics and schismatics. Draw
them by Your light into the unity of the Church, and do not let
them escape from the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart; but
bring it about that they, too, come to adore the generosity of
Your mercy.
Even for those who have torn the garment of Your unity, a fount
of mercy flows from Your Heart. The omnipotence of Your mercy, 0
God, can lead these souls also out of error.
Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon the souls of
heretics and schismatics, who have squandered Your blessings and
misused Your graces by obstinately persisting in their errors. Do
not look upon their errors, but upon the love of Your own Son and
upon His bitter Passion, which He underwent for their sake, since
they, too, are enclosed in the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus.
Bring it about that they also may glorify Your great mercy for
endless ages. Amen.
( Recite - The Chaplet )
Sixth Day
Today bring to Me the meek and humble souls and the souls of
little children, and immerse them in My mercy. These souls most
closely resemble My Heart. They strengthened Me during My bitter
agony. I saw them as earthly Angels, who would keep vigil at My
altars. I pour out upon them whole torrents of grace. Only the
humble soul is able to receive My grace. I favor humble souls with
My confidence.
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.
A truly gentle and humble soul already here on earth the air of
paradise breathes, and in the fragrance of her humble heart the
Creator Himself delights.
Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon meek and humble
souls, and upon the souls of 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.
( Recite - The Chaplet )
Seventh Day
Today bring to Me the souls who especially venerate and
glorify My mercy, and immerse them in My mercy. These souls
sorrowed most over My Passion and entered most deeply into My
Spirit. They are living images of My Compassionate Heart. These
souls will shine with a special brightness in the next life. Not
one of them will go into the fire of hell. I shall particularly
defend each one of them at the hour of death.
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. These souls are united to Jesus and 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.
A soul who praises the goodness of her Lord; she is always
close to the living fountain and draws graces from Mercy Divine.
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 spirit, overflowing with joy,
sings a canticle of mercy to You, 0 Most High! I beg You 0 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, I Myself will defend as My own glory,
during their lifetime, and especially at the hour of their death,
those souls who will venerate My fathomless mercy. Amen.
( Recite - The Chaplet )
Eighth Day
Today bring to Me the souls who are in the prison of
Purgatory, and immerse them in the abyss of My mercy. Let the
torrents of My Blood cool down their scorching flames. All these
souls are greatly loved by Me. They are making retribution to My
justice. It is in your power to bring them relief. Draw all the
indulgences from the treasury of My Church and offer them on their
behalf. Oh, if you only knew the torments they suffer, you would
continually offer for them the alms of the spirit and pay off
their debt to My justice.
Most Merciful Jesus, You Yourself have said that You desire
mercy; so I bring into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart
the souls in Purgatory, souls who are very dear to You, and yet,
who must make retribution to Your justice. May the streams of
Blood and Water which gushed forth from Your Heart put out the
flames of the purifying fire, that in that place, too, the power
of Your mercy may be praised.
From the terrible heat of the cleansing fire rises a plaint to
Your mercy, and they receive comfort, refreshment, relief in the
stream of mingled Blood and Water.
Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon the souls
suffering in Purgatory, who are enfolded in the Most Compassionate
Heart of Jesus. I beg You, by the sorrowful Passion of Jesus Your
Son, and by all the bitterness with which His most sacred Soul was
flooded, manifest Your mercy to the souls who are under Your just
scrutiny. Look upon them in no other way than through the Wounds
of Jesus, Your dearly beloved Son; for we firmly believe that
there is no limit to Your goodness and compassion. Amen.
( Recite - The Chaplet )
Ninth Day
Today bring to Me souls who have become lukewarm, and immerse
them in the abyss of My mercy. These souls wound My Heart most
painfully. My soul suffered the most dreadful loathing in the
Garden of Olives because of lukewarm souls. They were the reason I
cried out: "Father, take this cup away from Me, if it be Your
will." For them, the last hope of salvation is to flee to My
mercy.
Most compassionate Jesus, You are Compassion Itself. I bring
lukewarm souls into the abode of Y6ur Most Compassionate Heart. In
this fire of Your pure love let these tepid souls, who, like
corpses, filled You with such deep loathing, be once again set
aflame. 0 Most Compassionate Jesus, exercise the omnipotence of
Your mercy and draw them into the very ardor of Your love; and
bestow upon them the gift of holy love, for nothing is beyond Your
power.
Fire and ice cannot be joined; Either the fire dies, or the ice
melts. But by Your mercy, O God, You can make up for all that is
lacking.
Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon lukewarm souls,
who are nonetheless enfolded in the Most Compassionate Heart of
Jesus. Father of Mercy, I beg You by the bitter Passion of Your
Son and by His three-hour agony on the Cross: Let them, too,
glorify the abyss of Your mercy. Amen.
