Passion and entered most deeply into My Spirit. They are living images of My
Compassionate heart. These souls will shine with a special brightness in the next
life. Not one of them will go into the fire of hell. I shall particularly defend each
one of them at the hour of death (Diary, # 1224)…
Eighth Day: Today bring to Me the souls who are in the prison of Purgatory,
and immerse them in the abyss of My mercy. Let the torrents of My Blood cool
down their scorching flames. All these souls are greatly loved by Me. They are
making retribution to My justice. It is in your power to bring them relief. Draw all
the indulgences from the treasury of My Church and offer them on their behalf.
Oh, if you only knew the torments they suffer, you would continually offer for
them the alms of the spirit and pay off their debt to My justice (Diary, # 1226)…
Ninth Day: Today bring to Me 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

mercy (Diary, # 1228).
During the Novena, the day’s intention (the particular group of souls to be plunged deep
into Jesus’ Merciful Heart) as well as the recommended Novena prayers, and the Chaplet are

“By this novena, I will grant every possible grace to the soul” (Diary, # 796)…“I will deny
nothing to any soul whom you will bring to the fount of My mercy. On each day you will beg My
Father, on the strength of My bitter Passion, for graces for these souls” (Diary, # 1209).

On the beads of the Rosary, (pray) in the following manner:
(1) First of all, you will say one OUR FATHER and HAIL MARY and the
I BELIEVE IN GOD.
(2) Then on the OUR FATHER beads, you will say the following words:
