Chaplet of Divine Mercy



History
In the 1930s, St. Maria Faustina Kowalska received a number of revelations from Christ. The ultimate message is a demand for us to show mercy to others and a promise that we will receive God's mercy.

Begin with:

The Sign of the Cross

Our Father...

Hail Mary...

The Apostles' Creed.

On the large bead before each decade (the "Our Father Beads"), 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 ten small beads of each decade (the "Hail Mary Beads") say the following: 

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

Conclude with:

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