Every day at 5:30 PM in the Basilica of the Shrine of Divine Mercy in Kraków-Łagiewniki, the Rosary is prayed for the Holy Father Francis, asking for his health and the strength he needs. In the Chapel of the Merciful Jesus and at the tomb of St. Faustina, this prayer is offered during the Hour of Mercy and through the words of the Chaplet of Divine Mercy.

The Holy Father Francis visited the Łagiewniki Shrine on Saturday, July 30, 2016. In a short greeting, he said: “The Lord desires that today we feel His great mercy more deeply. Let us never distance ourselves from Jesus, even if, due to our sins or mistakes, we consider ourselves the worst. Because He prefers us just as we are, for this is how His mercy is poured out. Let us make use of this day so that we may all receive Christ’s mercy. Let us pray together to the Mother of Mercy: Hail Mary… (…) And I ask you, pray for me.”
