The Chaplet of the Holy Name is prayed on a 33 bead chaplet
(3 decades of 1 large bead followed by ten small beads).
Act of Contrition
O my God, I am heartily sorry
for having offended You, and
I detest all my sins because
I dread the loss of heaven
and the pains of hell, but
most of all because they offend you,
my God, who are all good and
deserving of all my love.
I firmly resolve, with the
help of your grace, to confess
my sins, to do penance and
to amend my life.
Amen.
Prayer
Incline unto my aid, O God.
O Lord, make haste to help me.
First Decade:
On the first large bead:
Lord, Thou hast said:
"Ask and ye shall receive;
seek, and ye shall find;
knock, and it shall be opened unto you,"
I seek, I knock, I ask this favor
[Mention your intention].
On each of the first group of ten small beads:
Incline unto my aid, O God.
O Lord, make haste to help me.
Second Decade:
On the second large bead:
"Amen, I say unto you,
if ye ask the Father anything
in My Name it shall be given unto you."
It is of the Father and in Thy Name,
Lord, I ask this favor.
On each of the second group of 10 small beads:
Incline unto my aid, O God.
O Lord, make haste to help me.
Third Decade:
On the third large bead:
Lord, Thou hast said:
"Heaven and earth shall pass away,
but My Word shall not pass away,"
Thou wilt grant me this favor
because Thou hast said it and
Thy word is true.
On each of the third group of 10 small beads:
Incline unto my aid, O God.
O Lord, make haste to help me.
