Novena to the Divine Mercy

The Novena to the Divine Mercy is a nine-day period of prayer in the Christian faith, particularly within the Catholic tradition. It commemorates God's mercy as revealed through Jesus Christ to Saint Faustina Kowalska. Each day focuses on specific themes of mercy, encouraging prayer and reflection on God's forgiveness. Devotees often recite the Divine Mercy Chaplet, a special prayer using rosary beads, to seek mercy for themselves and others. The novena is usually observed leading up to Divine Mercy Sunday, which is celebrated on the Sunday after Easter, emphasizing hope, repentance, and the transformative power of God's mercy.
