Chaplet of Divine Mercy

Chaplet of Divine Mercy

Using a chaplet or ordinary rosary beads of five decades:

Begin with the Sign of the Cross.

Say the Our Father, one Hail Mary and the Apostle's Creed.

On the Our Father bead at the start of each decade, say:
Eternal Father,
I offer you the Body and Blood,
Soul and Divinity of Your Dearly Beloved Son,
Our Lord, Jesus Christ,
in atonement for our sins
and those of the whole world.

On the Hail Mary beads of each decade, say:
For the sake of His sorrowful Passion,
have mercy on us and on the whole world.

At the end of the five decades say 3 times:
Holy God,
Holy Mighty One,
Holy Immortal One,
have mercy on us
and on the whole world.

Finish with the Sign of the Cross.

Prayer to the Sacred Heart

O Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, you said: "Ask and you shall receive; seek and you shall find; knock and it shall be opened to you."
With confidence in your loving, compassionate Heart I come to you as the fountain of every blessing. I ask you to make my heart humble and holy like yours. Grant me to live a holy life and to die a happy death. Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on me!

End by saying Our Father and Hail Mary

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end.
Amen
