Chaplet of Divine Mercy 383
THE CHAPLET OF DIVINE MERCY

Our Father …
Hail Mary …
The Apostle's Creed

I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of Heaven and earth.
I believe 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 to the dead.
On the third day, He rose again. He ascended to 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 the Holy Spirit, the Holy Catholic Church,
the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the
body, and 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 ten small beads of each decade, say:
For the sake of His sorrowful Passion,
Have mercy on us and on the whole world.

Conclude with:
Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on
us and on the whole world. (Say 3 Times):
