DIVINE MERCY CHAPLET

How to pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet

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 Saint Faustina a vision of His Mercy,

Saint Faustina wrote: "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, "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: [See above. cj]

Jesus said later to Saint 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."

.... Lucia's Lament

In 1961 Sister Lucia of Fatima grieved to Father Augustin Fuentes who was visiting her, "Father, our Lady is very unhappy because they have not taken Her message of 1917 seriously. NEITHER THE GOOD NOR THE BAD HAVE PAID ANY ATTENTION TO IT. The good continue their way without preoccupying themselves with it, they do not heed her celestial requests. The bad walk through life swollen with perdition, not taking into account the punishment that threatens them. Believe me, Father, God will chastise the world very soon. THINK, FATHER, ABOUT ALL THE SOULS WHO WILL FALL INTO HELL. This will happen because no one prays, because they do not do penance."

[Sister Lucia of Fatima to Father Augustin Fuentes in 1961.]

"What is the purpose of all this talk of Hell in Lucia's message, to frighten us? No! It is assumed that a majority of this book's [and this blog's cj] readers are adult Christians of sound faith who are in the state of grace. THE PURPOSE IS TO EMPHASIZE MARY'S CALL FOR PRAYER, SACRIFICE, & PENANCE IN ORDER TO SAVE THE SOULS OF OTHERS.

"But there is a downside to personal refusal of this 'call.' IN OUR CHARITY WE ARE SUPPOSED TO ANSWER THIS CALL FOR PRAYER, SACRIFICE, & PENANCE FOR THE SALVATION OF SOULS.

"If we do not, is there a possibility that sometime in the future we might need such spiritual assistance from others - perhaps to withstand some great temptation of our own, (despair, pride, loss of faith, etc.) and that when we need help we shall receive as we gave? 'Let him who stands, beware lest he fall.' Let us charitably respond to Mary's call." [Desmond A. Birch ........... in his book, "Trial, Tribulation & Triumph"]
