Prayer for divine mercy

O greatly merciful God, infinite goodness, today all mankind call out from the abyss of its misery to your mercy, to your compassion. O Lord and it is with its mighty voice of misery that it cries out. Gracious God do not reject the prayers of this earth exile. O Lord goodness beyond our understanding who was acquainted with our miseries through and through and know that by our own power we cannot ascend to you. We implore you anticipate us with your grace and keep on increasing your mercy in us that we may faithfully do your holy will all through our life and at death’s hour. Let the omnipotence of your mercy shield us from the dearth of our salvations enemy that we may with confidence as your children await your final coming that day known to you alone and we expect to obtain everything promised us by Jesus in spite of all our wretchedness for Jesus is our hope through his merciful heart as though an open gate we pass through to heaven. Amen.
