The Chaplet of Divine Mercy is recited using ordinary Rosary beads of five decades. The Chaplet is preceded by two opening prayers from the Diary of Saint Maria Faustina Kowalskaand followed by a closing prayer.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
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.
The Our Father is the prayer that Jesus taught his disciples, and us, in the Gospel, Matthew 6:9-13, Luke 11:2-4
Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst 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 Hail Mary, or Ave Maria, is composed of two sections from the gospel of Luke. The first section is taken from a passage when the Angel Gabriel greets Mary, in Luke 1:28. In the second section, Elizabeth also greets Mary in a special way, in Luke 1:42.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit,
*as it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
The Glory Be is a doxology, or song of praise, to the Trinity, rooted in Matthew 28:19.
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.
The Apostles' Creed is a summary of the core Christian beliefs.
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 "Our Father" Bead.
For the sake of His sorrowful Passion,
*have mercy on us and on the whole world.
On the 10 Small Beads of Each Decade.
Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us and on the whole world.
Conclude with Holy God (Repeat three times).
O Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a fount of mercy for us, I trust in You!
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.
O Greatly Merciful God, Infinite Goodness, today all mankind calls out from the abyss of its misery to Your mercy — to Your compassion, O God; and it is with its mighty voice of misery that it cries out. Gracious God, do not reject the prayer of this earth's exiles! O Lord, Goodness beyond our understanding, Who are acquainted with our misery through and through, and know that by our own power we cannot ascend to You, we implore You: anticipate us with Your grace and keep on increasing Your mercy in us, that we may faithfully do Your holy will all through our life and at death's hour. Let the omnipotence of Your mercy shield us from the darts of our salvation’s enemies, that we may with confidence, as Your children, await Your [Son’s] final coming — that day known to You alone. And we expect to obtain everything promised us by Jesus in spite of all our wretchedness. For Jesus is our Hope: through His merciful Heart, as through an open gate, we pass through to Heaven (Diary, 1570).
