Divine Mercy Prayer Book

Divine Mercy Prayer Book - Published by CTS

This is an excellent booklet, running to just over a hundred pages, and packed with useful information and prayers.

It starts with a brief Introduction, outlining the origins of the devotion to the Divine Mercy and Saint Faustina's role in that.  There is then a section containing the basic Catholic Prayers: the Our Father, the Hail Mary, Memorare, etc and  Litanies to the Sacred Heart, to the BVM, to St Joseph and to All Saints.

The next section is Message and Devotion to the Divine Mercy, which explains Divine Mercy SUnday, the Image, the Chaplet, the Hour of Mercy, and some notes on spreading the Devotion.

Then follows the largest section of the book: Prayers with St Faustina.  This encompasses the Holy Rosary, the Stations, the Chaplet, the Novena, the Three O'Clock Prayers, the Litany to the Divine Mercy, and then many prayers for specific circumstances.  These draw extensively on the Saint's writings, her records of the dialogues between herself and Our Lord.

There is then a shorter section Prayers through the Intercession of St Faustina, with a Litany and a Novena to St Faustina and a prayer to obtain Graces.  These, too, draw extensively on the Saint's  dialogues between herself and Our Lord.  The book closes with an Act of Entrustment of the World to the Divine Mercy.

I have been immersed in this book since I wrote the last review, which is perhaps some indication of its potency...  Highly recommended!
