The Chaplet of Divine Mercy
|
1. Begin with the Sign of the Cross, 1 Our Father, 1
Hail Mary and The Apostles Creed.
2. Then on the Our Father Beads say the following:
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.
3. On the 10 Hail Mary Beads say the following:
For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on
us and on the whole world.
(Repeat step 2 and 3 for all five decades).
4. Conclude with (three times):
Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One,
have mercy on us and on the whole world.
In 1933, God gave Sister Faustina a striking vision of
His Mercy,
Sister tells us:
"I saw a great light, with God the Father in the midst
of it.
Between this light and the earth I saw Jesus nailed to
the Cross
and in such a way that God, wanting to look upon the
earth, had to
look through Our Lord's wounds and I understood
that God blessed
the earth for the sake of Jesus."
Of another vision on Sept. 13, 1935, she writes:
"I saw an Angel, the executor of God's wrath... about
to strike
the earth...I began to beg God earnestly for the world
with words
which I heard interiorly. As I prayed in this way, I
saw the
Angel's helplessness, and he could not carry out the
just
punishment...."
The following day an inner voice taught her to say
this prayer on
ordinary rosary beads:
"First say one 'Our Father', 'Hail Mary', and 'I believe'.
Then on
the large beads say the following words:
'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 smaller beads you are to say the following
words:
'For the sake of His sorrowful Passion have mercy on
us and on the
whole world.'
In conclusion you are to say these words three times:
'Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One,
have mercy on us
and on the whole world'.
Jesus said later to Sister Faustina:
"Say unceasingly this chaplet that I have taught you.
Anyone who
says it will receive great Mercy at the hour of death.
Priests
will recommend it to sinners as the last hope. Even
the most
hardened sinner, if he recites this Chaplet even once,
will
receive grace from My Infinite Mercy. I want the
whole world to
know My Infinite Mercy. I want to give unimaginable
graces to
those who trust in My Mercy...."
"....When they say this Chaplet in the presence of the
dying, I
will stand between My Father and the dying person
not as the just
judge but as the Merciful Savior".
