Ninth Day
Easter Saturday



Opening Prayer


  

"Today bring to Me the Souls who have become Lukewarm, and immerse them in the abyss of My mercy. These souls wound My Heart most painfully. My soul suffered the most dreadful loathing in the Garden of Olives because of lukewarm souls. They were the reason I cried out: 'Father, take this cup away from Me, if it be Your will.' For them, the last hope of salvation is to run to My mercy." 

Most compassionate Jesus, You are Compassion Itself. I bring lukewarm souls into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart. In this fire of Your pure love, let these tepid souls who, like corpses, filled You with such deep loathing, be once again set aflame. O Most Compassionate Jesus, exercise the omnipotence of Your mercy and draw them into the very ardor of Your love, and bestow upon them the gift of holy love, for nothing is beyond Your power.

Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon lukewarm souls who are nonetheless enfolded in the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. Father of Mercy, I beg You by the bitter Passion of Your Son and by His three-hour agony on the Cross: Let them, too, glorify the abyss of Your mercy. Amen.

Apostles Creed

Hail Mary

Our Father

V: Eternal Father, I offer Thee the body and blood, soul and divinity of Your dearly bevolved Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ...
R: ...in atonement for our sins and those of the whole World.

Following the beads of the rosary, repeat the following ten times:

V: For the sake of His sorrowful passion,
R: Have mercy on us and on the whole world

Instead of the 'Glory Be' at the end of the decade, say:

V: Eternal Father, I offer Thee the body and blood....

At the end of the 5 decades say the following three times:

V: Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One
R: Have mercy on us and on the whole world
