The Chaplet of Divine Mercy (on ordinary rosary beads)
Begin with:
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 trepasses as we forgive those who trepass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.
Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with Thee. Blessed art Thou among 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.
I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord. He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit, and born of the Virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified,died, and was buried. He descended to the dead. On the third day He rose again. He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again to judge the living and the dead. I believe in Holy Spirit, the holy Catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of the sins, the resurrection of the body and the life everlasting. Amen.
On the large bead before 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.
On the 10 small beads of each decade:
For the sake of His sorrowful Passion have mercy on us and on the whole world.
Conclude with (after five decades):
Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us and on the whole world. (3 times)
Sandyeggo,
I'm glad to hear that you say the Chaplet almost every day. As I mentioned before, the Divine Mercy devotion has saved my prayer life, and since the end of last July/beginning of last August, I have been saying the Chaplet almost every day, in most instance at 3 pm, the Hour of Great Mercy. Starting more recently, I now say a prayer that Saint Faustina wrote in her Diary for sinner before I say the Chaplet too. On one of the instances that I didn't get to say the Chaplet at 3 pm recently, I said it during the 9 pm hour, and then when I went downstairs, and saw my dad was watching the news, it immediately became clear to me that the Chaplet I had just prayed was for the brave men and women who were going into harm's way that night, for it was the night of the first strike on Iraq. It's amazing how God works, isn't it?
Thanks for all the nice comments I have received from you concerning my internship. I hope I am able to get a more permanent position someplace because of it. Please keep me in my prayers, for I have to scramble to get ready to start, because my first day is April 28th, and I have to find a place to live and make other arrangments. May God grant me the strength and whatever else I need to carry out my task. Happy Easter everyone, and may God continue to bless everyone on FR.
God bless you, dear Pyro. And I will say a Chaplet for you and the start of your internship. I am extremely proud of you.
