Greetings of peace! 

The Permanent Council of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines approved the celebration of the National Consecration to the Divine Mercy on April 27, 2025, the Second Sunday of Easter, also known as Divine Mercy Sunday. 

This moment of prayer is our collective response to the many challenges we face today, including global conflicts, the desensitization to graft and corruption in public office, the trivialization of truth, and the persistent hostility toward Church teachings on family and life. 

The Prayer of Consecration to the Divine Mercy will be recited in place of the General Intercessions in all Masses across the country on Divine Mercy Sunday. 

I enjoin everyone to deepen our trust in the Lord’s infinite love and mercy amidst difficulties. 

Given at the Chancery Office, City of Imus, Cavite on the 16th of April 2025.

NATIONAL CONSECRATION TO THE DIVINE MERCY 

(To be prayed in all Masses on the Second Sunday of Easter, in place of the General Intercessions) 

Most Merciful Jesus, 

You are the Face of the Father’s Mercy. 

Out of mercy you have called us. 

To be merciful like the Father 

Is the mission you have entrusted to us. 

With complete trust and confidence in your boundless ocean of love, 

We consecrate ourselves entirely to you 

And place ourselves under the protection of your merciful care. 

We unite ourselves to your perfect offering, 

With the Holy Spirit, to the Father, 

That we may be completely transformed into Your Mercy. 

Have mercy on us 

For the wars among nations 

And terrors with which we harass one another. 

Have mercy on us 

For the widespread sins against truth 

And gruesome sins 

Against justice and human brotherhood. 

Have mercy on us 

For the blasphemies to which Your Divine Mercy is subjected to 

And the abominable mockery of the weak and the poor. 

Have mercy on us for 

The abuses against human dignity, 

Sins against life, love and family. 

Help us, O Lord, 

That we may reflect Your Mercy to those around us. 

Guard us as your possession, 

That in difficult moments we may not despair, 

But with great confidence 

Submit ourselves to your holy will. 

Make us instruments of consolation to others 

Who have lost hope and do not trust in Your Mercy. 

May all people come to know Your unfathomable mercy, 

Trust in your mercy and glorify Your Mercy forever and ever. 

Jesus, King of Mercy, 

We trust in You. 

We are all yours. 

Amen.
