Pray the Chaplet of Divine Mercy with Andi Compton and Stephanie Fries.
1. The Sign of the Cross
In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
2. Opening Prayer
You expired, O Jesus, but the fountain of life gushed forth for souls and the ocean of mercy opened up for the whole world. Oh fountain of life, unfathomable Divine Mercy, embrace the whole world and pour yourself on us. (Three times) Oh Blood and Water that gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus, as a fountain of mercy for us, I trust in You.
3. Our Father
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Your 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 trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.
4. Hail Mary
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee, blessed are 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.
5. Apostles' Creed
I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried; He descended into hell; on the third day He rose again from the dead;
He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from there He will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Holy Catholic Church, the communion of Saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen.
6. The Eternal Father
Eternal Father, I offer You the Body and Blood, the Soul and the Divinity of Your dearly Beloved Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, in atonement for our sins and those of the whole world.
7. On the 10 small beads that follow
For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world.
8. Repeat for 4 more tens
Pray the "Eternal Father" (6) and the 10 "For His Sorrowful Passions" (7).
9. After 5 decades, pray the final doxology three times
Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us and the whole world.
10. Final prayer
Eternal God, in whom mercy is endless and the treasury of compassion inexhaustible, look kindly upon us and increase Your mercy in us, so that in difficult moments we might not despair nor become despondent, but, with great confidence submit ourselves to Your holy will, which is Love and Mercy Itself.
11. The Sign of the Cross
In the name of the Father, of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
