In
one of His apparitions to Sister (now Saint) Faustina, Jesus requested
that the Feast of the Divine Mercy be preceded by a Novena to the Divine
Mercy. This novena would begin on Good Friday and would have a special

Saint Faustina wrote in her diary that Jesus told her, "On each day of the novena you will bring to My heart a different group of souls and you will immerse them in this ocean of My mercy. . . . On each day you will beg My Father, on the strength of My passion, for the graces for these souls."

The intentions for each of these days are:
- 1st day (Good Friday): all mankind, especially sinners;
- 2nd day (Holy Saturday): the souls of priests and religious;
- 3rd day (Easter Sunday): all devout and faithful souls;
- 4th day (Easter Monday): those who do not believe in Jesus and those who do not yet know Him;
- 5th day (Easter Tuesday): the souls of separated brethren;
- 6th day (Easter Wednesday): the meek and humble souls and the souls of children;
- 7th day (Easter Thursday): the souls who especially venerate and glorify Jesus' mercy;
- 8th day (Easter Friday): the souls who are detained in purgatory; and
- 9th day (Easter Saturday) : the souls who have become lukewarm.
