We celebrate Mercy Day on the 24th of September each year. It is also the Feast of Our Lady of Mercy.
We have highlighted a number of prayers and resources from the Mercy World on our website but also wanted to remind you about some of the other resources for Mercy Day on our website as well as our dedicated online Prayer Space.
Speaking about prayer, Catherine herself said:
‘Prayer is a plant, the seed of which is sown in the heart of every Christian, but its growth entirely depends on the care we take to nourish it.’ (Retreat Instructions page 90).

Prayers of Intercession
We pray for those in leadership who have the ability to influence our world in ways that protect those most vulnerable - may they show Mercy in their actions.
We pray for those who seek a kind word, a gentle compassionate look or the patient hearing of troubles - may we show Mercy in our actions.
We pray for those who are denied education - may our efforts result in inclusion.
We pray for those who are in need of safe shelter, warm clothes and nourishing food - may we find ways to offer an open door and a Mercy welcome.
We pray for Earth - may the spirit of Mercy cover Earth and bring her healing.
We pray for all who serve others through the spiritual and corporal works of Mercy - may our actions bring forth the fullness of life for all.
