How To Say The Chaplet of Divine Mercy
The Chaplet of Divine Mercy is prayed on the regular beads of the Rosary. It is most appropriate to pray it at 3 o'clock in the afternoon which is the "Hour of Great Mercy" as Jesus said to Blessed Faustina: At three o'clock, implore My Mercy, especially for sinners; and, if only for a brief moment, immerse yourself in My Passion, particularly in My abandonment at the moment of agony. This is the Hour of Great Mercy...In this hour I will refuse nothing to the soul that makes a request of Me in virtue of My Passion. (1320).
The Chaplet begins with the OUR FATHER, HAIL MARY, and the APOSTLES' CREED.
Then on the large bead before each decade one recites: 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 each decade of the small beads, pray the following: For the sake of His Sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world.
At the end of the Chaplet recite three times the following prayer: Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us and on the whole world.
