Novena begins this Saturday, September 26, 2026
St. Faustina Kowalska is known as the humble apostle of Divine Mercy as she was chosen by our Lord to share His profound message of limitless forgiveness with a troubled world. We venerate her as the faithful confidante of Jesus who recorded His urgent call for humanity to trust in His merciful heart, a message she preserved in her diary (“Divine Mercy in My Soul”), and and advocated for the establishment of the devotions of the Divine Mercy Chaplet and the Feast of Mercy.
The Novena to St. Faustina is a prayer seeking the intercession of the beloved mystic and apostle of Divine Mercy, St. Faustina, asking Jesus to grant our petitions through her powerful advocacy. The prayer acknowledges our unworthiness due to sin while appealing to St. Faustina’s spirit of sacrifice and self-denial, asking that her virtue be rewarded through the granting of our requests.
With childlike trust, we present our needs to Jesus through the intercession of this humble Polish nun who was filled with profound veneration for God’s boundless mercy and became the instrument through which Christ revealed His Divine Mercy devotion to the modern world.
