The Chaplet

of Divine Mercy
for recitation on ordinary rosary beads

In a vision to St. Maria Faustina Kowalska in 1935,


the Lord revealed a powerful prayer that He wanted
everyone to say — the Chaplet of Divine Mercy —
and he promised extraordinary graces to those who
would recite it: Jesus, I Trust in You!

Whoever will recite it will receive great mercy at the hour of death...
Priests will recommend it to sinners as their last hope of salvation. Even
if there were a sinner most hardened, if he were to recite this chaplet
only once, he would receive grace from My infinite mercy... I desire
to grant unimaginable graces to those souls who trust in My mercy...
(DIARY, 687).

To pray the Chaplet, use rosary beads and begin with these prayers:

The Sign of the Cross: In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and
of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Opening Prayer (Optional): 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 (DIARY, 1319).

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

The Our Father: Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy
name; Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done on earth as it is in
heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses
as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into
temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.

(Over)
The Hail Mary: Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with thee. Blessed
art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of
our death. Amen.

The Apostles’ Creed: I believe in God, the Father almighty, Creator of


heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord, who was
conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under
Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried; He descended into
hell; on the third day He rose again from the dead; He ascended into
heaven, and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty;
from there He will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in
the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the
forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting.
Amen.

Then, on the large (Our Father) bead of each decade, pray: 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 (Hail Mary) beads of each decade, pray: For the
sake of His sorrowful passion, have mercy on us and on the whole
world.

After five decades conclude, pray three times: Holy God, Holy
Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us and on the whole
world.

Closing Prayer (Optional): 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 (950).
