Human forgiveness seems to have a limit. It varies from person to person, but there is a cut-off point. For example, we can forgive people whose behaviour is intolerable and inexcusable for a while, but eventually we begin to distance ourselves.
Saint Faustina said: Jesus instructed me to write down and make this novena before the Feast of Mercy. It begins on Good Friday.
"I desire that during these nine days you bring souls to the fountain of My mercy, that they may draw therefrom strength and refreshment and whatever grace they need in the hardships of life.....
The Lord said to me today: Go to the Superior and tell her that I want all the sisters and wards to say the chaplet which I have taught you. (Diary 714)

In the Diary of St. Faustina, she records that Jesus asked her to write down the Divine Mercy Novena which He would dictate to her each day and she was to start this novena on Good Friday.
