Nine days Novena to St. Faustina

The Feast day of St. Faustina is every October 5. Novena prayers start on September 27.


St. Faustina of Lisieux seeking her intercession for a special grace.





Day One

Divine Mercy and Image

For the sake of His sorrowful passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world.

From the Diary of St. Faustina

Paint an image according to the pattern you see, with the signature; JESUS, I TRUST IN YOU. I desire that this image be venerated, first in your chapel, and (then) throughout the world. I promise the soul that will venerate this image will not perish. I also promise victory over enemies already here on earth, especially at the hour of death. I Myself will defend it as My own glory.

I want this image to be solemnly blessed on the first Sunday after Easter. The two rays denote Blood and Water. The pale ray stands for Water which makes souls righteous. The red ray stands for the Blood which is the life of souls.. These two rays issued forth from the very depths of My tender mercy when My agonized Heart was opened by a lance on the Cross. My gaze from this image is like My gaze from the cross. These rays of mercy will pass through you, just as they have passed through this Host, and they will go out through all the world. By means of this image I shall be granting many graces to souls; so let every soul have access to it.


Prayer to St. Faustina

O Jesus, who filled Saint Faustina with profound veneration for the boundless mercy, deign, if it be, Your holy will, to grant me through her intercession, the grace for which I fervently pray… May sins render me unworthy for Your mercy, but be mindful of St. Faustina’s sacrifice and self-denial, and reward her virtues by granting the petition, which, with childlike trust, I present, to You through her intercession.

St. Faustina pray for us.



Day Two

Feast of Divine Mercy

For the sake of His sorrowful passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world.

From the Diary of St. Faustina

I desire that the first Sunday after Easter be the Feast of Mercy. I desire that this image be displayed in public on the first Sunday after Easter. This Sunday is the Feast of Divine Mercy.

On the day of My feast, the Feast of Mercy, you will go through the whole world and bring fainting souls to the spring of My mercy. I shall heal and strengthen them. Whoever approaches the Fount of Life on this day will be granted complete remission of sins and punishment of sins and punishment.

On that day the very depths of My tender mercy are open. I pour out a whole ocean of graces upon those souls who approach the fount of My mercy. The soul that will go to Confession and receive Holy Communion shall obtain complete forgiveness of sins and punishment. On that day are open all the divine floodgates through which graces flow.

Prayer to St. Faustina

O Jesus, who filled Saint Faustina with profound veneration for the boundless mercy, deign, if it be, Your holy will, to grant me through her intercession, the grace for which I fervently pray… May sins render me unworthy for Your mercy, but be mindful of St. Faustina’s sacrifice and self-denial, and reward her virtues by granting the petition, which, with childlike trust, I present, to You through her intercession.

St. Faustina pray for us.



Day Three

Divine Mercy and Sinners

For the sake of His sorrowful passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world.

From the Diary of St. Faustina

I desire that priests proclaim this great mercy of Mine towards souls of sinners. Let the sinner not be afraid to approach Me. The flames of mercy are burning Me – clamoring to be spent; I want to pour them out upon these souls.

Gather all sinners from the entire word and immense them in the abyss of My mercy. I want to give Myself to souls; I yearn for the souls. No. 206.

My Heart overflows with great mercy for souls, and especially for poor sinners. No. 367.

For them I dwell in the tabernacle as King of Mercy. They have time for everything but they have no time to come to Me for graces. No. 367.

The greater the sinner, the greater the right he has to My mercy. He who trust in My mercy will not perish and his enemies will be shattered at the base of My footstool.

I am giving you three ways of exercising mercy toward your neighbor: the first-by deed, the second –by word, the third-by prayer.

Prayer to St. Faustina

O Jesus, who filled Saint Faustina with profound veneration for the boundless mercy, deign, if it be, Your holy will, to grant me through her intercession, the grace for which I fervently pray… May sins render me unworthy for Your mercy, but be mindful of St. Faustina’s sacrifice and self-denial, and reward her virtues by granting the petition, which, with childlike trust, I present, to You through her intercession.

My daughter, do not omit Holy Communion unless you know well that your fall was serious; apart from this, no doubt must stop you from uniting yourself with Me in the mystery of My love.
