THE CHAPLET OF THE DIVINE MERCY

Begin with one OUR FATHER, One HAIL MARY and the I BELIEVE IN GOD. (Diary, 476)

 

THE OUR FATHER

Our Father, Who art in heaven, Hallowed be Thy Name. Thy Kingdom come. Thy Will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.

 

THE HAIL MARY

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with You, Blessed are You among women, and blessed is the fruit of Your womb, Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.  Amen.

 

THE APOSTLES’ CREED

I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of Heaven and earth; and in Jesus Christ, His only Son Our Lord,
Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried.
He descended into Hell; the third day He rose again from the dead;

He ascended into Heaven, and sitteth at the right hand of God, the Father almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the living and the dead.
 I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body and life everlasting.
Amen.

 

On the large bead before each decade:

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 ten small beads of each decade:

For the sake of His sorrowful Passion,

have mercy on us and on the whole world.

 

Conclude with the Concluding Doxology:

Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us and on the whole world.  (3 times)

7          Prayer to the Divine Mercy

PRAYER TO THE DIVINE MERCY

O Greatly Merciful God, Infinite Goodness, today all mankind calls out from the abyss of its misery to Your mercy, to Your compassion, O God; and it is with its mighty voice of misery that it cries out. 

 

Gracious God, do not reject the prayer of this earth’s exiles!  O Lord, Goodness beyond our understanding, who are acquainted with our misery 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 darts of our salvation’s enemies, 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 through an open gate we pass through to Heaven. (Diary, 1570)

PRAYER OF ENTRUSTMENT TO THE DIVINE MERCY

O Lord our God, we place all our trust in You, because You are mercy itself.  We repent of our sins and turn to You for mercy.  We trust You to provide for our every need, according to Your will.  Help us to forgive others as You forgive us.  We promise to be merciful by our deeds, words and prayers.  Though we have fears because of human weakness, we rely on Your infinite goodness and mercy. 

 

We entrust to Your mercy our very lives, our present situation and our uncertain future.  We entrust to You the future of our planet, our Church, our nations, our families, and all our needs.  With loud cries we implore Your mercy on us and the whole world. 

 

Look upon us created in Your image and likeness.  Form us in the Heart of Mary by the power of the Holy Spirit into living images of mercy.  May all come to know the depth of Your mercy and sing the praises of Your mercy forever.  Amen.
