Chaplet of Divine Mercy

Preface

• Our Father
• Hail Mary
• Creed

At the beginning of each decade

"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."

The central prayer

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

Conclusion

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

• "Divine Mercy" is the whole gospel message in two words. God, the Father, has saved the whole world through the Passion and Death of God, the Son.

• This is a priestly prayer. We make reparation not only for our own personal sins but for for the sins "of the whole world": sinful priests, sinful Catholic couples, sinful enemies of the Church, etc., etc.
