PRAYED ON ORDINARY ROSARY BEADS
The Chaplet of Divine Mercy
Given by Jesus to St. Faustina, the Chaplet is a short, powerful prayer of trust, best prayed at three o'clock, the Hour of Great Mercy.
- Begin: Make the Sign of the Cross, then pray one Our Father, one Hail Mary, and the Apostles' Creed.
- On each large bead: "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 each of the ten small beads: "For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world."
- Repeat for all five decades.
- Conclude three times: "Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us and on the whole world." Optionally add: "Jesus, I trust in You."

DIARY OF ST. FAUSTINA
“Let the greatest sinners place their trust in My mercy. They have the right before others to trust in the abyss of My mercy. My daughter, write about My mercy towards tormented souls.”
— Diary, 1146
Second Sunday of Easter
Instituted by St. John Paul II in 2000, this feast celebrates the boundless mercy of Christ revealed to St. Faustina. On this day, the faithful are invited to trust in Jesus, receive the Sacraments of Reconciliation and Holy Communion, and venerate the image of the Divine Mercy.
Divine Mercy Sunday
Prayers for Healing
O Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a fountain of Mercy for us, I trust in You. Touch my body, mind, and spirit with Your healing grace, and restore me according to Your holy will.
Merciful Jesus, look with compassion upon all who suffer in illness. Grant comfort to the weary, strength to caregivers, and wisdom to all who tend the sick. May Your rays of mercy shine upon every hospital room and quiet home.
Eternal Father, through the sorrowful Passion of Your Son, heal the wounds of our hearts and memories. Free us from fear and bitterness, and fill us with the peace that only Your infinite mercy can give. Jesus, I trust in You.

A Return Home
After decades away from the Church, praying the Chaplet at my mother's bedside opened my heart to confession and a peace I had long forgotten.
Strength in Illness
Through months of treatment, the words "Jesus, I trust in You" became my anchor. My family prayed the Novena together, and we found hope again.
Mercy Received
On Divine Mercy Sunday I finally let go of a burden I had carried for years. Forgiveness came, first for myself, then for those who had hurt me.
