DIVINE MERCY PRAYER AND BLESSING
IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER, AND OF THE SON, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT. AMEN.
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, O unfathomable Divine Mercy, envelop the whole world and empty Yourself upon us.
O Blood and Water, which gushed from the Heart of Jesus, as a fountain for us, we trust in You. (3 times 'O Blood and Water)
(Essential Opening Prayer - on the first 3 beads after the Cross)
The Lord's Prayer
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 full of Grace, the Lord is with thee.
Blessed are 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
Apostle's Creed
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 into the dead.
On the third day, he rose again.
He ascended into heaven
and was 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.
On the 1 'Our Father' bead of each decade pray:
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 10 'Hail Mary' beads of each decade pray:
For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have Mercy on us and the whole world.
(Repeat with the remaining decades: 1 "Eternal Father..." & 10 "For the sake...")
Closing Prayers
(At the end of the 5 decades)
Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have Mercy on us and 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 so that in difficult moments, we may not despair nor become despondent but, with great confidence, submit ourselves to Your Holy Will, which is Love and Mercy itself. Amen.
THE LORD BE WITH YOU
MAY ALMIGHTY GOD BLESS YOU, THE FATHER, THE SON, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT. AMEN.
GO IN PEACE AND SPREAD THE GOSPEL
