On the Crucifix - make a sign of the cross

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

Opening Prayer

ALL: 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.

On First Bead after the Crucifix - repeat three times:

ALL: O Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a fountain of Mercy for us, I trust in You!

On Second Bead after the Crucifix

LEADER: Our Father, Who art in Heaven; hallowed be Thy name; Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven.

ALL: 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

On Third Bead after the Crucifix

LEADER: Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee; blessed art Thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of Thy womb, Jesus.

ALL: Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

On Fourth Bead after the Crucifix

LEADER: 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 was 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.

ALL: I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Holy Catholic Church, the Communion of Saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen.

Repeat for all five decades

On the Our Father Beads say the following:

LEADER: Eternal Father, I offer You the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Your dearly beloved Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ,

ALL: in atonement for our sins and those of the whole world.

On the 10 Hail Mary Beads say the following:

LEADER: For the sake of His sorrowful Passion,

ALL: have mercy on us and on the whole world.

Repeat three times:

ALL: Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us and on the whole world.

Concluding Prayers:

ALL: 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

The prayer of Divine Mercy

ALL: O Greatly Merciful God, Infinite Goodness, today all mankind calls out from the abyss of its misery to Your mercy - to Your compassion, O God; and it is with its mighty voice of misery that it cries out.  Gracious God, do not reject the prayer of this earth's exiles!  O Lord, Goodness beyond our understanding, Who are acquainted with our misery through and through, and know that by our own power we cannot ascend to You, we implore You, anticipate us with Your grace and keep on increasing Your mercy in us, that we may faithfully do Your holy will all through our life and at death's hour.  Let the omnipotence of Your mercy shield us from the darts of our salvation's enemies, that we may with confidence as Your children, await Your final coming - that day known to You alone.  And we expect to obtain everything promised us by Jesus in spite of all our wretchedness.  For Jesus is our Hope:  Through His merciful Heart, as through an open gate, we pass through to heaven.  Amen.

ALL: Jesus I trust in You
Jesus I trust in You
Jesus I trust in You

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