Gathering prayer
“Jesus, I trust in You!”
This prayer, dear to so many of the devout, clearly expresses the attitude with which we too would like to abandon ourselves trustfully into Your hands, O Lord, our only Savior.
You are burning with the desire to be loved and those in tune with the sentiments of Your Heart learn how to build the new civilization of love. A simple act of abandonment is enough to overcome the barriers of darkness and sorrow, of doubt and desperation. The rays of Your Divine Mercy restore hope, in a special way, to those who feel overwhelmed by the burden of sin. Mary, Mother of Mercy, help us to have this trust in your Son, our Redeemer. Help us too, St. Faustina, whom we remember today with special affection. Fixing our weak gaze on the Divine Savior’s face, we would like to
repeat with you: “Jesus, I trust in You!” now and forever. Amen.

God, Merciful Father,
In Your Son, Jesus Christ, You have revealed Your love
and poured it out upon us in the Holy Spirit, the Comforter.
We entrust to you today the destiny of the world and of every man and woman.
Bend down to us sinners,

and grant that all the peoples of the earth
may experience your mercy.
In You, the Triune God,
May they ever find the source of hope.
Eternal Father,
