DIVINE MERCY
Looking for a spiritual resolution for the New Year? Consider joining us on Thursday mornings at 9:10 a.m. before the 9:30 a.m. Mass to pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet and Novena.
New Color Booklets are provided and include a 4-year calendar!
Jesus told St. Faustina
“Encourage souls to say the Chaplet which I have given you. It pleases Me to grant everything they ask of Me by saying
the Chaplet.”
Divine Mercy Chaplet Prayer Line
Do you know about the power of the Divine Mercy Chaplet for the sick and dying?
Jesus told St. Faustina “Pray as much as you can for the dying. By your entreaties (that is insistent prayers) obtain for them trust in My mercy because they have most need of trust, and have it the least. Be assured that the grace of eternal salvation for certain souls in their final moment depends on your prayer. You know the whole abyss of My mercy, so draw upon it for yourself and especially for poor sinners. Sooner would heaven and earth turn into nothingness than would My mercy not embrace a trusting soul.” (Diary 1777)
Would you like to join St. Mary Divine Mercy Chaplet Prayer Line to pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet for the sick and dying?
