THE DIVINE MERCY CHAPLET: INTRODUCTORY PRAYERS
SACRED ART: "The Coronation of the Virgin" by Pedro de Calabria
OUR FATHER: THIS IS HOW YOU ARE TO PRAY
Kneeling in Humility Before the Father
Our Father, Who art in heaven, Hallowed by Thy name.
Surrendering to the Father
Thy kingdom come, Thy Will be done, On earth as it is in Heaven.
Hungering for the Bread of Life
Give us this day our daily bread,
Living Divine Mercy
And forgive us our trespasses, As we forgive those who trespass against us.
Avoiding the Near Occasion of Sin
And lead us not into temptation, But deliver us from evil.
Amen.
HAIL MARY: TO OUR LORD THROUGH OUR LADY
Our Lady
Hail Mary, Full of grace,
Our Lord
The Lord is with thee,
Our Lady
Blessed art thou among women,
Our Lord
And blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Our Lady
Holy Mary,
Our Lord
Mother of God,
The Mediatrix
Pray for us sinners, Now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.
THE APOSTLES CREED: THE HOLY MYSTERIES
The Father & The Son: Luminous Mysteries
I believe in God, the Father almighty, Creator of heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord.
The Incarnation & The Nativity: Joyful Mysteries
He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit, And born of the Virgin Mary.
The Passion: Sorrowful Mysteries
He suffered under Pontius Pilate, Was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended to the dead.
The Resurrection & The Ascension: Glorious Mysteries
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.
The Divine Plan: Merciful Mysteries
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting.
Amen.
