Divine Mercy Chaplet
The Divine Mercy Chaplet is a brief, powerful prayer of trust in God’s mercy for us and the whole world.  Given to St. Faustina Kowalska, it is prayed on rosary beads and invites us to place every need, every burden, and every person into the compassionate heart of Jesus.
Opening 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.
O Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a fountain of Mercy for us, I trust in you! (Repeat 3 Times)
Our Father
Hail Mary
Apostles Creed
For Each Decade
On each "Our Father" bead of the rosary, pray:
L: Eternal Father, I offer you the Body and Blood, soul and divinity of your dearly beloved Son, our Lord Jesus Christ,
R: in atonement for our sins and those of the whole world.
On each of the 10 "Hail Mary" beads, pray:
L: For the sake of his sorrowful Passion,
R: have mercy on us and on the whole world.
Conclusion
Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us and on the whole world. (Repeat 3 Times)
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.
