The Divine Mercy Novena begins on Good Friday of Holy Week and continues until Sunday of Divine Mercy (Second Week of Easter).
In the case of the Novena to Divine Mercy, we pray the Chaplet of Divine Mercy each day for a specific intention.
Those intentions are:
Day 1: All mankind, especially sinners;
Day 2: The souls of priests and religious;
Day 3: All devout and faithful souls;
Day 4: Those who do not believe in God and those who do not yet know Jesus;
Day 5: The souls who have separated themselves from the Church;
Day 6: The meek and humble souls and the souls of little children;
Day 7: The souls who especially venerate and glorify His mercy;
Day 8: The souls detained in purgatory;
Day 9: Souls who have become lukewarm.
