The CHAPLET OF THE
DIVINE MERCY
Words of
Merciful Jesus to St. Faustina on the the Chaplet and how to pray it
On
Friday, September 13, 1935 the Lord revealed to St. Maria Faustina a
powerful means to obtain the mercy of God for the world. She
writes about it in her diary:
“In the evening, when I was in my cell, I saw an Angel, the
executor of divine wrath. He was clothed in a dazzling robe, his
face gloriously bright, a cloud beneath his feet. From the
clouds, bolts of thunder and flashes of lightning were springing
into his hands; and from his hand they were going forth, and
only then were they striking the earth. When I saw this sign
divine wrath which was about to strike the earth...I began to
implore the Angel to hold off for a few moments, and the world
would do penance. But my plea was a mere nothing in the face of
the divine anger. Just then I was the Most Holy Trinity. The
greatness of Its majesty pierced me deeply, and did not dare to
repeat my entreaties. At that very moment I felt my in my soul
the power of Jesus’ grace, which dwells in my soul. When I
became conscious of this grace, I was instantly snatched up
before the Throne of God. Oh, how great is our Lord and God and
how incomprehensible His holiness! I will make no attempt to
describe this greatness, because before long we shall all see
him as He is. I found myself pleading with God for the world
with words heard interiorly.
As I was praying in this manner, I saw the Angel’s helplessness:
he could not carry out the just punishment which was rightly due
for sins. Never before had I prayed with such inner power as I
did then." (Diary # 474)
“The words with which I entreated God are these: Eternal Father,
I offer You the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Your dearly
beloved Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ for our sins and those of the
whole world; for the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy
on us.” (475)
“Every time you enter the chapel, immediately recite the prayer
which I taught you yesterday.” (Diary # 476)
“Say unceasingly the chaplet that I have taught you. Whoever will
recite it will receive great mercy at the hour of death.” (Diary #
687)
“The souls that say this chaplet will be embraced by My mercy during
their lifetime and especially at the hour of their death.” (Diary #
754)
“Oh, what great graces I will grant to souls who say this chaplet;
the very depths of My tender mercy are stirred for the sake of those
who say the chaplet.” (Diary # 848)
“Write that when they say this chaplet in the presence of the dying,
I will stand between My Father and the dying person, not as the just
Judge but as the merciful Savior.” (Diary # 1541)
This is the chaplet that Jesus asked St. Faustina to introduce to
her community and the whole world. In 1936, Father Miguel Sopocko
had this chaplet printed (in the Cebolski Editorial on Crakow) on
the reverse side of the holy card with the image of Divine Mercy
painted by Eugenio Kasimierwsko.
