Chaplet of the Divine Mercy - my powerful prayer

I don't consider myself a super religious person. I don't go to church that often moreso now because I am working in the middle east where religions other than theirs is prohibited from practising. But I believe in God.  I thank God for all the blessings and trials that come my way. I pray for guidance, blessings, graces and confide my burdens to God Almighty.

One of the powerful prayer that I do is the chaplet of the Divine Mercy. I felt the power of this prayer specially in times when I am so down and out. And maybe times, my prayers were answered be it positive or not my desire but God's will.

I am not perfect and I do tend to forego prayers many times too. I just kneel down on my knees when I am hit with stormy challenges in life that sometimes too heavy for me carry. Despite me detouring a lot of times from the wonderful road of life God wanted me to follow, my God is still there to guide and protect me, held my hand and help me rise from my fall and help me pick up myself to continue my journey with Him.

1. Begin with the Sign of the Cross, 1 Our Father, 1 Hail Mary and The Apostles Creed.


2. Then on the Our Father Beads say the following:

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.

3. On the 10 Hail Mary Beads say the following:

For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world.

(Repeat step 2 and 3 for all five decades).

4. Conclude with (three times):

Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us and on the whole world.



Jesus said later to Sister Faustina:



"Say unceasingly this chaplet that I have taught you. Anyone who


says it will receive great Mercy at the hour of death. Priests


will recommend it to sinners as the last hope. Even the most


hardened sinner, if he recites this Chaplet even once, will


receive grace from My Infinite Mercy. I want the whole world to


know My Infinite Mercy. I want to give unimaginable graces to


those who trust in My Mercy...."






"....When they say this Chaplet in the presence of the dying, I


will stand between My Father and the dying person not as the just


judge but as the Merciful Savior".
