Hi everyone. I'm trying to spread devotion to the Divine Mercy Novena which has helped me many times. It began on Good Friday and so I know this is a little late but it's a very powerful prayer and I would recommend it to anyone. I said it one year when ds was in neonatal unit and he recovered and is now 13 and hale and hearty despite very serious health problems during the first year of his life. I did all I could to spread devotion and the following year I was hospitalised and put into an induced coma with double bronchial pneumonia, during which time I also developed SARS and began to have organ failure. After 12 days, I awoke and despite all odds I left the unit 48 hours later. I realised some time afterwards that I had awoken on Divine Mercy Sunday.

and I cannot recommend it highly enough. It is extremely powerful, both for private and general intentions. This year I am praying to overcome an extremely difficult food addiction brought on by massive stress due to a difficult situation with an SN child.
I just want to share this prayer with everyone and reassure anyone who wants to pray this that it is the intention of the heart that matters, not whether the prayer is begun on time. I really hope that this can help someone as much as it helps me. Next Sunday is Divine Mercy Sunday and I will be praying for the intentions of many people and so I hope that lots of us can benefit from it in some way. Happy Easter everyone 🌅
