Divine Mercy Chaplet
Chester Wyke March 03, 2026 Updated: May 19, 2026 #PrayersAfter I copied the bellow from the app to make it easier to access I found that the Marian Fathers already have a website with more information and laid out much better than I have. I’ll keep this page as I already typed it up but I would deferrer any visitors to the divine mercy website or see links to parts I found helpful to get started as it may feel a bit overwhelming to start off:
-
The message
-
The chaplet and the step by step instructions
-
Pray along with Video Really moving The Chaplet of Divine Mercy in Song (Complete).
Lyrics, and prayer versions used in video
Show Optional Opening Prayer
You expired, Jesus,
but the source of life gushed forth for souls,
and the ocean of mercy opened up for the whole world.
O Fount of Life, unfathomable Divine Mercy,
envelop the whole world and empty Yourself out upon us.
O Blood and Water,
which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a fount of mercy for us,
I trust in You! (3x)

Lyrics to opening hymn
Hail to Thee! True body sprung
From the Virgin Mary’s womb!
Same that on the cross was hung
Bore for man the bitter doom.
Sweet Jesus, Mary’s son.
Thou whose side was pierced and flowed
Both with water and with blood;
Suffer us to taste of Thee
In our life’s last agony.
Sweet Jesus, Mary’s son. -
The Apostle’s Creed (version said in the video)
I believe in God,
the Father almighty,
Creator of Heaven and earth,
I believe in Jesus Christ,
His only Son, our Lord,
He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit,
and born of the Virgin Mary,
He suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried;
He descended to the dead;
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.
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. -
Closing Song
Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us and on the whole world. (x3) -
Closing prayer (Not included in video)
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. Amen.
