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.
(Repeat three times)
O Blood and Water,
which gushed forth
from the Heart of Jesus
as a fountain of Mercy for us,
I trust in You!
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, full 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 Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died and was buried;
He descended into hell;
on the third day He rose again
from the dead;
He ascended into heaven,
and is seated at the
right hand of God the Father almighty;
from there He will 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 life everlasting.
Amen.
The Eternal Father:
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:
For the sake of His sorrowful Passion,
have mercy on us and on the whole world.
Repeat for the remaining decades:
Saying the "Eternal Father" on the "Our Father" bead
and then "For the sake of His sorrowful Passion"
on the following "Hail Mary" beads.
Conclude with Holy God (Repeat three times)
Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One,
have mercy on us and on the whole world.
Optional 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.
