I am love and mercy itself. … Let no soul fear to draw near to Me, even though its sins be as scarlet. … My mercy is greater than your sins, and those of the entire world. … I let My Sacred Heart be pierced with a lance, thus opening wide the source of mercy for you. Come then with trust to draw graces from this fountain. … The graces of My mercy are drawn by the means of one vessel only, and that is trust. The more a soul trusts, the more it will receive.
St Faustina’s Diary 1074, 699, 1485 and 1578
This fountain of Mercy is for everyone, for every soul.
Let us today on this Divine Mercy Sunday approach this great fount of Mercy. Trusting in this greatest attribute of God, who is Love and Mercy itself.
Jesus especially wanted us to approach him at 3:00 in the afternoon when he died on the cross and it was opened up for us the font of mercy. When blood and water gushed forth from his most sacred heart.
Let us, therefore, trust in this incomprehensible mercy. Turn toward the Father and ask for what we need, his mercy and grace, to become the children, the saints we are called to be.
Turning toward him, let us pray this chaplet of mercy:
Making the sign of the cross with rosary beads, say- In the name of the Father…
Our Father…
Hail Mary…
I believe in God… (Apostles Creed)
On each Our Father beads say- Eternal Father, I offer you the body and the blood, the 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 Hail Mary beads say- For the sake of his sorrowful passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world.
On the center bead say 3 times- Holy God, Holy Mighty one, Holy Immortal one, have mercy on us and on the whole world.
You can conclude with this optional prayer:
Eternal God, in whom mercy is endless and the treasury of compassion — inexhaustible, look kindly upon us and increase Your mercy in us, 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.
