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.
(3) On the HAIL MARY beads you will say the following words:
For the sake of His sorrowful Passion have mercy on us and on the whole world.
(4) In conclusion, three times you will recite these words:
Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us and on the
whole world.
The Lord also told Sr. Faustina on the efficacious graces that await those who pray the Chaplet to
seek God’s mercy for their own souls and that of others, especially during these “end times,”
before Judgment Day comes (Diary, # 848):
By saying the Chaplet you are bringing humankind closer to Me (Diary, #
929)…Oh, what great graces I will grant to souls who say this Chaplet; the very
depths of My tender mercy are stirred for the sake of those who say the chaplet.
Write down these words, My daughter. Speak to the world about My mercy; let all
mankind recognize My unfathomable mercy. It is a sign for the end times; after it
will come the day of justice. While there is still time, let them have recourse to the
fount of My mercy; let them profit from the Blood and Water, which gushed forth
for them (Diary, # 848).
(Diary, # 929): One day, Sr. Faustina confided to Jesus “the pains of her heart” and her
“great concern for all mankind” with details about it. He gave her a simple but effective response
to man’s ills - to pray His Chaplet to draw them closer to Him who is “Love and Mercy itself”
(Diary, # 1074) and humanity’s “Messiah” (CCC, 664). Sr. Faustina wrote in her Diary:
They all do not know You, and those who do know You do not love You as You
deserve to be loved. I also see how terribly sinners offend You; and then again, I
see how severely the faithful, especially Your servants, are oppressed and
persecuted. And then, too, I see many souls rushing headlong into the terrible
abyss of hell. You see, Jesus, this is the pain that gnaws at my heart and bones.
And, although You show me special love and inundate my heart with streams of
Your joys, nevertheless, this does not appease the sufferings I have just
mentioned, but rather they penetrate my poor heart all the more acutely. Oh, how
ardently I desire that all mankind turn with trust to Your mercy. Then, seeing the
glory of Your name, my heart will be comforted.”
Jesus listened to these outpourings of my heart with gravity and interest, as if He
had known nothing about them, and this seemed to make it easier for me to talk.
And the Lord said to me, My daughter, those words of your heart are pleasing to
