Kinh cầu Thánh Nữ Faustina
Lạy Thánh nữ Faustina, Ngài là quà tặng của Thiên Chúa ban cho loài người chúng con, cũng là món quà đất nước Ba Lan dâng tặng cho toàn thể Hội Thánh. Xin cho chúng con nhận ra Lòng Thương xót thẳm sâu của Thiên Chúa; giúp chúng con cảm nghiệm và sống Lòng Thương Xót Chúa giữa anh chị em chúng con.
Xin cho sứ điệp ánh sáng và hy vọng của Thánh nữ được lan toả khắp Thế giới; thúc đẩy tội nhân hoán cải, xoa dịu những hận thù và oán ghét, giúp cho mọi người và mọi quốc gia mở lòng thực thi tình huynh đệ.
Hôm nay, cùng với Thánh nữ, chúng con chiêm ngắm dung mạo của Đức Kitô Phục Sinh, xin giúp chúng con có được tâm tình cầu nguyện đầy tin tưởng phó thác như Thánh nữ, để với niềm cậy trông kiên vững, chúng con thưa lên: “Lạy Chúa Giêsu, con tín thác vào Chúa”. Amen.

Prayer to Saint Faustina by the Holy Father John Paul II
And you, Faustina, a gift of God to our time, a gift from the land of Poland to the whole Church, obtain for us an awareness of the depth of Divine Mercy; help us to have a living experience of it and to bear witness to it among our brothers and sisters. May your message of light and hope spread throughout the world, spurring sinners to conversion, calming rivalries and hatred, and opening individuals and nations to the practice of brotherhood. Today, fixing our gaze with you on the Face of the Risen Christ, let us make our own your prayer of trusting abandonement and say with firm hope:”Jesus, I trust in You!”. Amen.

Prayer to obtain grace through the intercession of Saint Faustina
O Jesus, You inspired Saint Faustina with profound veneration for Your boundless Mercy. Grant me through her intercession, if it be Your holy will, the grace …for which I fervently pray. My sins render me unworthy of Your Mercy, but be mindful of Saint Faustina’s spirit of sacrifice and self-denial, and reward her virtue by granting the petition which, with childlike confidence, I present to You through her intercession.
Our Father…, Hail Mary…, Glory…
Saint Faustina, pray for us. Amen.

Prayer of St. Faustina before the Eucharist
Author: St. Faustina
I adore You, Lord and Creator, hidden in the Most Blessed Sacrament. I adore You for all the works of Your hands, that reveal to me so much wisdom, goodness and mercy, O Lord. You have spread so much beauty over the earth and it tells me about Your beauty, even though these beautiful things are but a faint reflection of You, incomprehensible Beauty. And although You have hidden Yourself and concealed Your beauty, my eye, enlightened by faith, reaches You and my soul recognizes its Creator, its Highest Good, and my heart is completely immersed in prayer of adoration.
My Lord and Creator, Your goodness encourages me to converse with You. Your mercy abolishes the chasm which separates the Creator from the creature. To converse with You, O Lord, is the delight of my heart. In You I find everything that my heart could desire. Here You light illumines my mind, enabling it to know You more and more deeply. Here streams of graces flow down upon my heart. Here my soul draws eternal life. O my Lord and Creator, You alone, beyond all these gifts, give Your own self to me and unite Yourself intimately with Your miserable creature.
O Christ, let my greatest delight be to see You loved and Your praise and glory proclaimed, especially the honor of Your mercy. O Christ, let me glorify Your goodness and mercy to the last moment of my life, with every drop of my blood and every beat of my heart. Would that I be transformed into a hymn of adoration of You. When I find myself on my deathbed, may the last beat of my heart be a loving hymn glorifying Your unfathomable mercy. Amen.
