Prayer for Divine Mercy

“Oh! God of great mercy, infinite kindness, from the abyss of its dejection, all humanity today implores Your mercy, Your compassion.

Oh! God, we cry out with a mighty voice. God of Benevolence, do not fail to hear the prayer of this earthly exile!

Oh! Lord, Goodness that escapes our understanding, that You know our misery in depth and You know that with our strength we cannot rise to You, we beg: sustain us with Your grace and continue to increase Your mercy in us so that we can faithfully fulfill Your holy will throughout our lives and at the time of death.

May the omnipotence of Your mercy defend us from the arrows that the enemies of our salvation shoot, so that with confidence, as Your children, we await the last coming (a day that only You know). And we hope to get what Jesus promised us, despite our pettiness. Because Jesus is our hope:
through your merciful heart, as in the Kingdom of Heaven.”

Chaplet of Divine Mercy

To pray the Chaplet of Divine Mercy, a common rosary is used. The following sequence must be followed: sign of the cross, Our Father, Hail Mary and Creed (symbol of the apostles).

On the larger beads, repeat the Our Father and pray: “Eternal Father, I offer You the Body and Blood, the Soul and Divinity of Your beloved Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, in atonement for our sins and those of the entire world.”

On the smaller beads, next to the Hail Mary, say: “For His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world.”

In the Invocation, at the end of the rosary, we pray three times: “Holy God, Strong God, Immortal God, have mercy on us and on the whole world.”

The concluding prayer is optional: “God, Merciful Father, who revealed Your love in Your Son Jesus Christ, and poured it out upon us in the Holy Spirit, we entrust to You today the destiny of the world and of every man. Bend over us sinners, heal our weakness, overcome all evil, let all the inhabitants of the Earth experience Your mercy, so that in You, the Triune God, they can always find the source of hope. Eternal Father, through the painful Passion and Resurrection of Your Son, have mercy on us and on the entire world. Amen.”
