The Divine Mercy Novena – used as a Novena to Blessed Fr. Sopočko in preparation for his Solemnity on February 15. This Novena can be prayed alongside the Chaplet of Divine Mercy.
In her diary, St. Faustina wrote that Jesus told her:
"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."
Page 70 of Fr. Sopočko‘s manuscript: "In every temptation I will turn my thoughts to Jesus, fasting and tempted, in the desert. When the deceptive charms of the world, and the lure of its delusive wisdom, assail me, I will take my stand instantly beneath the standard of Christ, conscious of my sonship of God, and trusting in His Mercy, won for me in the desert."
First Day
"Today bring to Me all mankind, especially all sinners, and immerse them in the ocean of My mercy. In this way you will console Me in the bitter grief into which the loss of souls plunges Me."
Most Merciful Jesus, whose very nature it is to have compassion on us and to forgive us, do not look upon our sins but upon our trust which we place in Your infinite goodness. Receive us all into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart, and never let us escape from It. We beg this of You by Your love which unites You to the Father and the Holy Spirit.
Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon all mankind and especially upon poor sinners, all enfolded in the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. For the sake of His sorrowful Passion show us Your mercy, that we may praise the omnipotence of Your mercy for ever and ever. Amen.
