Divine Mercy Chaplet
The only chaplet we have that was dictated by
Jesus Himself; he gave it to his secretary of
Divine Mercy, St. Faustina. The Lord made it
clear that the Chaplet was not just for her, but for
the whole world. Prayed on ordinary rosary
beads, we can pray this chaplet at any time and
we can also make a novena of prayer for any
intentions. We must not change or add any other
wording. Follow this link to the “Divine Mercy
Chaplet”
