Your post is very kind, Palladin. We should pray the Chaplet of Divine Mercy every time we feel that storm brewing. As hard as these times are for faithful Catholics, it is also still the Age of the Divine Mercy of Jesus Christ. (EWTN is a wonderful antidote to the spiritual poisons that are about -- especially their broadcasts of Mass and the Chaplet and Rosary).
Jesus words to St. Faustina give us the best short prayer for this time: Jesus, I trust in you. Let us pray that very often during the day, together with the prayer Mother Teresa taught:
Jesus, alive in my heart, I love you.
