(First Bead)
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.
O Blood and Water,
which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus
as a fountain of Mercy for us,
I trust in You! (x3)

Eternal God, in whom mercy is endless
and the treasury of compassion inexhaustible,

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.
Jesus I Trust in You. (x3)
