Day 2 — Souls of priests and religious

Intention of the Day

"Today, bring to Me the souls of priests and religious, and immerse them in My unfathomable mercy. It was they who gave Me strength to endure My bitter Passion. Through them, as through channels, My mercy flows out upon mankind."

(Diary, 1212)

Prayer to Most Merciful Jesus

Most Merciful Jesus, from whom all goodness flows, increase grace in us that we may perform works worthy of mercy, so that all who see us may glorify the Father of Mercy who is in heaven.

Prayer to the Eternal Father

Eternal Father, turn your merciful gaze upon the chosen portion of your vineyard, the souls of priests and religious; grant them the power of your blessing. Through the love of the Heart of your Son, in which they are enclosed, grant them the power of your light, that they may guide others along the way of salvation and, with one voice, sing the praises of your boundless mercy for endless ages. Amen.

Chaplet of Divine Mercy

(Prayed on ordinary rosary beads):

— 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. (ten times on each decade)

— Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us and on the whole world. (three times at the end)
