Divine Mercy Novena and Sundae Party

The Divine Mercy Novena begins today, Good Friday, April 10. If you have not started it, you can begin tomorrow. Below is a link where you can find the prayers for the novena. A few years ago, I attended a Divine Mercy party held on Divine Mercy Sunday. It was a party for children who had been saying the novena with their parents. There were some very clever Moms who came up with the idea of having sundaes on Divine Mercy Sunday! The party was a big hit with the children and their parents who attended. Besides the delicious sundaes, the Moms had coloring pages about Sister Faustina, the religious sister, that Our Lord appeared to and asked her to propagate the Divine Mercy Chaplet and Novena. Perhaps you and your children or grandchildren would like to pray the novena and have a party to celebrate at the end. I will post some ideas and resources on this blog early next week.

Here is the link to the novena   https://www.thedivinemercy.org/message/devotions/novena 
You will find a short explanation of the Divine Mercy Novena on this website and then to your right you will see in red the nine days listed. Click on day one for prayer number one. Each day you will click on the prayer intentions for that day. and pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet. Our Lord wishes us to pray this novena to honor His most merciful heart and obtain graces for ourselves and others.  Pray the novena and then have a Divine Mercy Sundae Party!
