Opening Prayers
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, envelope the whole world and empty Yourself out upon us.
O
Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a fountain of Mercy for us, I trust in You!
Begin
with the Our Father, the Hail Mary and the Apostle's Creed:
Our
Father
Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name; Thy
kingdom come; Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses
as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil, Amen.
Hail Mary
Hail Mary, mother of grace. The Lord is with
thee. Blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners,
now and at the hour of our death, Amen.
The Apostle's Creed
I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of Heaven and earth; and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, Our
Lord, Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified; died, and
was buried. He descended into Hell; the third day He arose again from the dead; He ascended into Heaven, sitteth at the right
hand of God, the Father Almighty; from thence He shall come 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.
Then, 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 (Say 3 Times):
Holy God,
Holy Mighty One,
Holy Immortal One,
have mercy on us
and on the whole world.
Closing 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.
