Day 8: The Mercy of God

Daily verse:

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. - 1 John 1,9

Meditation:

On this eighth day of the Novena, let us reflect on the fact that by our sins, we are compelling God to condemn us. We may as well deserve Hell, and it is only by the Mercy of God that we are forgiven and saved. Let us also meditate on the fact that the Holy Souls are aware of God's immense favor, which can only cause bitter sorrow, as they were granted an immense gift which they did not honor. 

Lord, Your Mercy knows no boundaries. Grant us the grace to repent. 

Prayer:

Let us commend to Jesus Christ and His holy Mother the souls in Purgatory, in particular those of our relatives, benefactors, friends, and enemies; especially those for whom we are bound to pray; and let us offer the following considerations and prayers for them, pondering over the great sufferings which these spouses of Christ endure.

O my God! I also am one of these ungrateful beings, having received so much grace, and yet despised Thy love, and deserve to be cast by Thee into Hell. But Thy infinite goodness has spared me until now. Therefore, I now love Thee above all things, and I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee. Grant me the grace of holy perseverance. Have compassion on me, and, at the same time on the Holy Souls suffering in Purgatory. O Mary, Mother of God, come to their assistance with thy powerful intercession.

Our Father...

Hail Mary...

On Thy Spouses have compassion,
On these suffering children Thine;
Make these Holy Souls partakers
Of Thy happiness Divine.

(Recommend yourself to the Souls in Purgatory and mention your intentions here) 

Blessed Souls, I have prayed for thee; I entreat thee, who are so dear to God, and who are secure of never losing Him, to pray for me, miserable sinner, who is in danger of being damned, and of losing God forever. Amen.
