Divine Mercy Novena, Day 2
Dear Family of Mary!
Today we pray for the souls of Priests and Religious. Our Lady has asked us to pray in this way. Here is one message:
“…Pray for the firmness of faith, because love and mercy come from firm faith. Through love and mercy you will help all those who are not aware that they are choosing darkness instead of light. Pray for your shepherds because they are the strength of the Church which my Son left to you. Through my Son, they are the shepherds of souls. Thank you.”(March 2, 2015)
Jesus asked St. Faustina to pray for priests as well:
Today, I saw the Lord in great beauty, and He said to me, My loving host, pray for
priests, especially during this time of harvest. My Heart is pleased with you, and
for your sake I am blessing the earth. (Diary 980)
Let us pray Novena Day 2:
Today bring to Me THE SOULS OF PRIESTS AND RELIGIOUS, and immerse them in My unfathomable mercy. It was they who gave Me 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 men and women consecrated to Your service,* that they may perform worthy works of mercy; and that all who see them may glorify the Father of Mercy who is in heaven.
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.
