- Day 8: the souls in Purgatory.

How to pray each day
Bring the day's group to the Sacred Heart: "Today bring to Me [the souls of the day]…" then pray the Chaplet of Divine Mercy (full text and how-to here). Fixed dates: start on Good Friday; it ends on Divine Mercy Sunday, the first Sunday after Easter.

Pray the Divine Mercy Novena with its actual nine intentions
The Divine Mercy Novena is prayed from Good Friday toward Divine Mercy Sunday in the tradition associated with Saint Faustina, and it can also be used at other times. Read the day's intention, pray the Chaplet as the devotion directs and place the request in God's mercy without treating the promises attached to the devotion as a mechanical guarantee.
This page identifies the connection with Saint Faustina's Diary and distinguishes the Divine Mercy Novena from the Chaplet itself. The schedule, prayers and source notes are kept visible so the reader knows what to pray each day.
