Opening Prayer
(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)

Our Father, Hail Mary, Apostles’ Creed (Next 3 Beads)

Eternal Father (Our Father Bead) 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.

Sorrowful Passion (10 Hail Mary Beads)
For the sake of His 
sorrowful Passion,
have mercy on us and on the whole world.

Holy God (Last Large Bead)
Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One,
have mercy 
on us
and on the whole world. (x3)

Closing Prayer
Eternal God, in whom mercy is endless
and the treasury of compassion inexhaustible,
look kindly 
upon us and increase Your mercy in us
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)
