Novena to Divine Mercy April 19 – April 28
On ordinary rosary beads: “First pray one ‘Our Father’, ‘Hail Mary’, and ‘I believe’. Then on the large beads pray the following words: ‘Eternal Father, I offer You the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Your dearly beloved Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, in atonement for our sins and those of the whole world.’ On the smaller beads pray: ‘For the sake of His sorrowful Passion have mercy on us and on the whole world.’ In conclusion pray three times: ‘Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us and on the whole world’.
