How To Say The Rosary | The Divine Mercy Chaplet

Almighty God, I thank you for your past blessings.

Today I offer myself - whatever I do, say, or think -

to your loving care.

Continue to bless me, Lord.

I make this morning offering in union

with the divine intentions of Jesus Christ

who offers himself daily in the holy sacrifice of the Mass,

and in union with Mary, his Virgin Mother and our Mother,

who was always the faithful handmaid of the Lord.

Amen. 

Almighty and Eternal God,

Give me, I beseech You,

the great gift of inward peace.

Command the winds and storms

of my unruly passions.

Subdue, by Your grace, 

my proneness to love 

created things too much.

Give me a love of suffering for Your sake.

make me forbearing and kind to others,

that I may avoid quarrels and contentions.

And teach me constantly to seek after

and to acquire that perfect resignation

to Your Holy Will

which alone brings interior peace.

Amen.

All praise and glory are yours,

Lord our God.

For you have called us to serve you and one another in love.

Bless our sick today so that they may bear their illness

in union with Jesus' sufferings and restore them quickly to health.

Bless those who have grown old in your service

and give them courage and strength in their faith.

Lead us all to eternal glory.

We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ,

Your Son, who lives and reigns with you

and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever.

Amen.

Mother of Perpetual Help pray for us.

Three Hail Marys. 

God, our Father, 

You redeemed us 

and made us Your children in Christ.

Through Him You have saved us from death 

and given us Your Divine life of grace. 

By becoming more like Jesus on earth, 

may I come to share His glory in Heaven. 

Give me the peace of Your kingdom, 

which this world does not give. 

By Your loving care protect the good You have given me. 

Open my eyes to the wonders of Your Love 

that I may serve You with a willing heart. 

Amen. 

Breathe in me,

O Holy Spirit, 

that my thoughts may all be holy.

Act in me,

O Holy Spirit,

that my work, too, may be holy.

Draw my heart,

O Holy Spirit,

that I love only what is holy.

Strengthen me,

O Holy Spirit,

to defend all that is holy.

Guard me so,

O Holy Spirit,

that I may always be holy.

Amen.

Blessed are You, loving Father,

For all your gifts to us.

Blessed are You for giving us family and friends

To be with us in times of joy and sorrow,

To help us in days of need,

And to rejoice with us in moments of celebration..

Father,

We praise You for Your Son Jesus,

Who knew the happiness of family and friends,

And in the love of Your Holy Spirit.

Blessed are you for ever and ever.

Amen. 

I believe that you, O Jesus,

are in the most holy Sacrament.

I love you and desire you.

Come into my heart.

I embrace you.

Oh, never leave me.

May the burning and most sweet power of your love,

O Lord Jesus Christ,

I beseech you,

absorb my mind that I may die through love of your love,

who were graciously pleased to die through love of my love.

(When unable to receive Holy Communion, it is a pious practice to make a Spiritual Communion by reciting the above prayer of St. Francis.)

Dear God, give me courage,

for perhaps I lack it more than anything else.

I need courage before men against their threats

and against their seductions.

I need courage to bear unkindness, 

mockery, contradiction.

I need courage to fight against the devil,

against terrors and troubles, temptations, 

attractions, darkness and false lights, 

against tears, depression, and above all fear.

I need Your help, dear God.

Strengthen me with Your love and Your grace.

Console me with Your blessed Presence 

and grant me the courage to persevere 

until I am with You forever in heaven. 

Dear Jesus,

Divine Physician and Healer of the Sick, 

we turn to You in this time of illness.

O dearest Comforter of the Troubled,

alleviate our worry and sorrow with Your gentle love,

and grant us the grace and strength to accept this burden.

Dear God,

we place our worries in Your hands.

We ask that You restore Your servant to health again.

Above all,

grant us the grace to acknowledge Your holy will

and know that whatsoever You do,

You do for the love of us.

Amen.

Lord Jesus,

grant that I and my spouse may have a true

and understanding love for each other.

Grant that we may both

be filled with faith and trust.

Give us the grace to live 

with each other in peace and harmony.

May we always bear with one another's weaknesses 

and grow from each other's strengths.

help us to forgive one another's failings 

and grant us patience, kindness, cheerfulness 

and the spirit of placing the well-being 

of one another ahead of self.

May the love that brought us together

grow and mature with each passing year.

Bring us both ever closer to You

through our love for each other.

Let our love grow to perfection.

Amen.
