Chaplet of Divine Mercy (extended)

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

Opening Prayer of the Chaplet
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 fount 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. 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 among 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.

Consecration to Divine Mercy
O Divine Mercy, Lover of my soul, the spear that pierced your Sacred Heart opened up for us and the whole world a never ending flow of Your grace and mercy. Even one drop of Your Precious Blood would have been enough for the salvation of all mankind. Yet, Your love for us is so overwhelming, causing You to pour out for us Your Abundant Life, Your Human Blood, Your Divine Mercy without reserve. You emptied Yourself completely, leaving nothing undone for our benefit.

The only adequate response to Your great blessing is to trust in You! To trust in You with faithfulness, with hopefulness, and with gratefulness beyond measure. And even such trust is incomparable with the amazing love and mercy You already share with me.

This very day it is my desire to consecrate myself to You, O Divine Mercy, without holding anything back. I give You my full attention, all that I have, and all whom I love. Please accept me into Your Ocean of Mercy where I may soak in Your healing power and quench the otherwise insatiable thirst of my soul. Amen! JESUS, I TRUST IN YOU!
