THE DIVINE MERCY CHAPLET

This Chaplet was dictated to St. Faustina by the Lord Jesus, Himself in Vilnius on September 13-14, 1935, as a prayer of atonement and for the appeasement of God's wrath. When we recite this Chaplet. We offer to God the Father the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ in atonement for our sins. The sins of our loved ones and those of the entire world. By uniting ourselves with the sacrifice of Jesus, we appeal to the great mercy that our Heavenly Father for His Son and in Him for all humanity. 

In this prayer, we also ask God for mercy on us and on the whole world, and by so doing, we perform a work of mercy. If we add to this the foundation of trust and fulfill the conditions regarding every good prayer (humility, perseverance, conformity with God's will, we can expect the fulfillment of Christ's promises that are particularly related to the hour of death the grace of conversion and a peaceful death. 

These graces are offered not only to those who recite the Chaplet, but also to the dying when the faithful recite it at their bedside. The Lord said; WHEN THIS CHAPLET IS SAID BY THE BEDSIDE OF A DYING PERSON, GOD'S ANGER IS PLACED, UNFATHOMABLE MERCY ENVELOPS THE SOUL. 

The general promise is ; IT PLEASES ME TO GRANT EVERYTHING THEY ASK OF ME BY SAYING THE CHAPLET... IF WHAT YOU ASK FOR IS COMPATIBLE  WITH MY WILL. For anything that is not in accordance with God's will is not good for people, especially for their eternal happiness. On a different occasion. Jesus said; BY SAYING THE CHAPLET YOU ARE BRINGING HUMANKIND CLOSER TO ME. Again He said; THE SOULS THAT SAY THIS CHAPLET WILL BE EMBRACED BY MY MERCY DURING THEIR LIFETIME AND ESPECIALLY AT THE HOUR OF THEIR DEATH.

The chaplet is most often recited during those nine days, but it can be prayed at any time of the year, and Saint Maria Faustina recited it almost unceasingly.

A standard rosary can be used to recite the chaplet, and the entire devotion takes just 20 minutes—about the time it takes to pray the rosary.

Step 1

Make the Sign of the Cross

Step 2

Pray the opening prayers. There are two opening prayers; the second is repeated three times:

First Prayer

You expired, Jesus, but the source of life gushed forth for souls, and the ocean of mercy opened up for the whole world. O Fount of Life, unfathomable Divine Mercy, envelop the whole world and empty Yourself out upon us.

Second Prayer

O Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a fount of mercy for us, I trust in You! (repeat three times)

Step 3

Pray the Our Father

Step 4

Pray the Hail Mary

Step 5

Say the Apostles' Creed

Step 6

Pray the prayer "Eternal Father." On the Our Father bead before each decade, pray the following prayer:

Eternal Father

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. Amen.

Step 7

Pray the prayer "For the Sake of His Sorrowful Passion" 10 times. On each of the Hail Mary beads in each decade, pray the following prayer:

For the Sake of His Sorrowful Passion

For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world.

Step 8

Repeat steps 6 and 7: On each of the next four decades of the Chaplet, repeat steps 6 and 7 (pray the "Eternal Father," followed by 10 "For the Sake of His Sorrowful Passion")

Step 9

After you have prayed all five decades of the Chaplet, pray "Concluding Doxology," which is repeated three times:

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

Step 10 

After the doxology, pray the Closing Prayer:

Eternal God, in Whom mercy is endless, and the treasury of compassion inexhaustible, look kindly upon us, and increase Your mercy in us, that in difficult moments, we might not despair, nor become despondent, but with great confidence, submit ourselves to Your holy will, which is Love and Mercy Itself. Amen.

Step 11

End With the Sign of the Cross

PRAYER TO SAINT JOSEPH, TERROR OF DEMONS

Saint Joseph, Terror of Demons, cast thy solemn gaze upon the devil and all his minions, and protect us with thy mighty staff. Thou fled through the night to avoid the devil’s wicked designs; now with the power of God, smite the demons as they flee from thee! Grant special protection, we pray, for children, fathers, mothers, families, and the dying. By God’s grace, no demon dares approach while thou art near, so we beg of thee, Saint Joseph, always be near to us! Amen

Saint Joseph, terror of demons, pray for us.

Prayer To Jesus , The Black Nazarene

Through Christ our Lord. Amen.🙏
