It’s from EWTN.
I’m a big Sacred Heart Fan!

The missus and I will be praying the Divine Mercy prior to the debate. It’s our favorite - the one Fr. asked us to pray when we were deciding on a date for our reception into the Church.

My favorite part of the Divine Mercy is from the optional opening prayers (ones we don’t hear very often):

You expired, Jesus, but the source of life gushed forth for souls, and the ocean of mercy opened up for the whole world. O Fount of Life, unfathomable Divine Mercy, envelop the whole world and empty Yourself out upon us.

O Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a fountain of Mercy for us, I trust in You!

And this closing prayer:

Eternal God, in whom mercy is endless and the treasury of compassion — inexhaustible, look kindly upon us and increase Your mercy in us, that in difficult moments we might not despair nor become despondent, but with great confidence submit ourselves to Your holy will, which is Love and Mercy itself.
