Catholic Church Times
Day 3 of 9

All devout and faithful souls

From the Divine Mercy Novena

Sacred Scripture: John 10:27-28

Meditation for Day 3

On the third day, Jesus asked that all devout and faithful souls be brought to his mercy. These souls bring him consolation by their fidelity, even in small things.

The Church recognizes that the daily faithfulness of ordinary Catholics — those who pray, receive the sacraments, and live in friendship with God — is itself a witness to Christ's mercy at work in the world.

Daily Novena Prayer (recited every day)

The Chaplet of Divine Mercy

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

St. Faustina taught that the Chaplet of Divine Mercy should accompany the novena each day. The full chaplet uses ordinary Rosary beads.

Concluding prayers: Many novena traditions add one Our Father, one Hail Mary, and one Glory Be at the close of each day's prayer.
