Chaplet of Divine Mercy
Given by Jesus to St. Faustina Kowalska. Prayed on ordinary rosary beads, this chaplet pleads for God's mercy on us and on the whole world.
“Say unceasingly the chaplet that I have taught you. Whoever will recite it will receive great mercy at the hour of death.”
— Jesus to St. Faustina (Diary, 687)
How It Works
The Chaplet is prayed on ordinary rosary beads. It consists of an opening prayer, five decades, and a closing prayer. Each decade uses the Our Father bead for the “Eternal Father” offering, and the ten Hail Mary beads for “For the sake of His sorrowful Passion.”
Traditionally prayed at 3:00 PM — the Hour of Mercy — but may be prayed at any time. Takes about 10 minutes.
