— ACT OF ENTRUSTMENT OF THE DESTINY OF THE WORLD —
All:
O God, merciful Father, Who has revealed Your love in Your Son, Jesus Christ, and has poured it out upon us in the Holy Spirit, the Comforter. We entrust to You today the destiny of the world and of every man and woman.
Bend down to us sinners, heal our weaknesses, conquer all evil, and grant that all the inhabitants of the earth may experience Your mercy. May they always find the source of hope in You, the Triune God.
Eternal Father, for the sake of the sorrowful Passion, and the Resurrection of Your Son, have mercy on us and on the whole world. Amen.
(Saint John Paul II entrusted the destiny of the world to the Divine Mercy
on August 17, 2002 in Kraków Łagiewniki)
— PRAYER FOR THE GRACE TO BE MERCIFUL TO OTHERS —
(Diary 163)
V: O Most Holy Trinity! As many times as I breathe, as many times as my heart beats, as many times as my blood pulsates through my body, so many thousand times do I want to glorify Your mercy.
All: I want to be completely transformed into Your mercy and to be Your living reflection, O Lord. May the greatest of all divine attributes, that of Your unfathomable mercy, pass through my heart and soul to my neighbor.
V: Help me, O Lord, that my eyes may be merciful, so that I may never suspect or judge from appearances, but look for what is beautiful in my neighbors’ souls and come to their rescue.
All: Help me, that my ears may be merciful, so that I may give heed to my neighbors’
needs and not be indifferent to their pains and moanings.
V: Help me, O Lord, that my tongue may be merciful, so that I should never speak negatively of my neighbor, but have a word of comfort and forgiveness for all.
All: Help me, O Lord, that my hands may be merciful and filled with good deeds, so that I may do only good to my neighbors and take upon myself the more difficult and toilsome tasks.
V: Help me, that my feet may be merciful, so that I may hurry to assist my neighbor, overcoming my own fatigue and weariness. My true rest is in the service of my neighbor.
All: Help me, O Lord, that my heart may be merciful so that I myself may feel all the sufferings of my neighbor. I will refuse my heart to no one. I will be sincere even with those who, I know, will abuse my kindness. And I will lock myself up in the most merciful Heart of Jesus. I will bear my own suffering in silence. May Your mercy, O Lord, rest upon me.
V: You Yourself command me to exercise the three degrees of mercy. The first: the act of mercy, of whatever kind. The second: the word of mercy — if I cannot carry out a work of mercy, I will assist by my words. The third: prayer — if I cannot show mercy by deeds or words, I can always do so by prayer. My prayer reaches out even there where I cannot reach out physically.
All: O my Jesus, transform me into Yourself, for You can do all things. Amen.
— PRAYER FOR PRIESTS —
All:
O Jesus, I pray for your faithful and fervent priests; for your unfaithful and tepid priests; for your priests laboring at home or abroad in distant mission fields; for your tempted priests; for your lonely and desolate priests; for your young priests; for your dying priests; for the souls
of your priests in Purgatory.
But above all, I recommend to you the priests dearest to me: the priest who baptized me; the priests who’ve absolved me from my sins; the priests at whose Masses I’ve assisted and who’ve given me Your Body and Blood in Holy Communion; the priests who’ve taught and instructed me; all the priests to whom I am indebted in any other way.
O Jesus, keep them all close to your heart, and bless them abundantly in time and eternity. Amen

Your mercy has been disappointed. (Diary 247)
With complete trust, let us bring our prayers before the Lord.
Let’s take a moment of silence and offer to the Lord in the Most Blessed Sacrament our special intentions … We pray to the Lord. Lord, hear our prayer.
All:
Jesus, Friend of a lonely heart, You are my haven. You are my peace. You are my salvation. You are my serenity in moments of struggle and amidst an ocean of doubts.
You are the bright ray that lights up the path of my life. You are everything to a lonely soul.
Amen.

intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, we may be liberated from every evil spell and enjoy
your peace always. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with You
in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
