All Catholics in Johannesburg South Africa come let us worship and fellowship together

04/04/2026

*Catholics - Peace be with you!*

Let's pray today as we wait in anticipation of the resurrection of our Lord just as the Apostles waited.

Let us pray for God's mercy and for a greater trust in His mercy in our hearts!

As a reminder, the words at the beginning of each day's prayer, in quotes, is what Saint Faustina says that Jesus asked us to pray for.

Here are the prayers for today:
*Day 2 - Divine Mercy Novena*

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

"Today bring to Me *THE SOULS OF PRIESTS AND RELIGIOUS* , and immerse them in My unfathomable mercy. It was they who gave Me strength to endure My bitter Passion. Through them as through channels My mercy flows out upon mankind."

Most Merciful Jesus, from whom comes all that is good, increase Your grace in men and women consecrated to Your service, that they may perform worthy works of mercy; and that all who see them may glorify the Father of Mercy who is in heaven.

Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon the company of chosen ones in Your vineyard--upon the souls of priests and religious; and endow them with the strength of Your blessing. For the love of the Heart of Your Son in which they are enfolded, impart to them Your power and light, that they may be able to guide others in the way of salvation and with one voice sing praise to Your boundless mercy for ages without end.

Amen.

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

*Pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet.*

✓ I-altare litshiywa lingelalutho, kungekho amalembu, kungekho amaluba, isiphambo lezithombe zivalwe ngamalembu lokhu kubonisa ukuthi:
👉 *“uMhlatshelo usuzakwenzeka.”* UJesu usezahlupheka, abulawe ukuze sisindiswe.

✓ Lokhu kusilungiselela uLwesihlanu oluNgcwele, lapho okungekho khona iMisa, kodwa kugxilwe ekuhluphekeni kukaKristu.

🟣 Isifundo:
Ukukhunyulwa kwe-altare kusifundisa ukuthi uKristu wazithoba ngokupheleleyo ngenxa yethu.
