Jesus said to St. Faustina: "I desire that during these nine days you bring souls to
the fount of My mercy, that they may draw from there strength and refreshment and whatever
graces they need in the hardships of life and, especially, at the hour of death.
On each day you will bring to My Heart a different group of souls, and you will immerse them
in this ocean of My mercy, and I will bring all these souls into the house of My Father.
You will do this in this life and in the next. I will deny nothing to any soul whom you will
bring to the fount of My mercy. On each day you will beg My Father, on the strength of My
bitter Passion, for graces for these souls".
St. Faustina answered: "Jesus, I do not know how to make this novena or which souls to bring
first into Your Most Compassionate Heart." Jesus replied that He would tell her which souls
to bring each day into His Heart.
