Today’s Divine Mercy Intention

Today

Divine Mercy Chaplet

Pause at 3 PM, the Hour of Mercy. You can use rosary beads or simply pray slowly from your heart. Offer this chaplet for yourself, your loved ones, and the whole world.

Begin with the Sign of the Cross

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

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. (Repeat 3 times)

Opening Prayers

Pray one Our Father, one Hail Mary, and the Apostles’ Creed.

On Each Our Father Bead

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 Each Hail Mary Bead

For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world.

After Five Decades

Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us and on the whole world. (Repeat 3 times)

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.

Jesus, I trust in You. Have mercy on me, on my family, and on the whole world.

Amen.

Simple 3 PM Reflection

If you cannot pray the full chaplet, pause for a short moment at 3 PM and pray from the heart:

Jesus, I trust in You. Have mercy on me, on my family, and on the whole world. Help me receive Your mercy and share Your mercy with others today.

Jesus, I Trust in You

Come back at 3 PM each day to pause, pray, and place your heart in the mercy of Jesus.
