Divine Mercy Novena
In the 1930's Christ appeared to a Polish nun, Sr. Faustina, requesting a Feast of Mercy. He instructed her to prepare for the Feast of Mercy by making a novena to start on Good Friday.
I desire that during these nine days you bring souls to the fount of My mercy, that they may draw therefrom strength and refreshment and whatever grace they need in the hardships of life, and especially at the hour of death. (From St. Faustina's Diary)
The Lady in the Pew links to a good site for the Divine Mercy prayers of the novena which starts today and ends on Divine Mercy Sunday - the Sunday after Lent. There is also a link to the chaplet which should be said in conjuction with the Novena prayers.
