* About the Divine Mercy Novena At the Hour of Mercy (3 o’clock pm), we will be praying the Divine Mercy novena in the Chapel at St. Patrick!  It is important to note that this novena is unlike other novenas. It is the first novena in the history of the Church created by Jesus — the words of the Divine Mercy novena prayers were dictated by Christ Himself to Saint Faustina for mankind. This fact makes it uniquely special, supremely holy, and an essential element of the Devotion to Divine Mercy.   In her diary, St. Faustina wrote that Jesus instructed, “On each day of the novena you will bring to My heart a different group of souls and you will immerse them in this ocean of My mercy … On each day you will beg My Father, on the strength of My passion, for the graces for these souls.”
