As taught through St. Faustina and promoted by the Marian Fathers

What is the Chaplet of Divine Mercy?

A short prayer of trust in Jesus’ mercy, given to St. Faustina Kowalska and prayed on ordinary Rosary beads for the whole world.

How and why it is prayed

The Chaplet of Divine Mercy is a devotion Jesus asked St. Faustina to promote: offering His Passion to the Father “in atonement for our sins and those of the whole world.” It is not a substitute for the Mass or Confession, but a simple, powerful way to plead for mercy - for yourself, loved ones, the dying, and the whole world.

You pray it on a standard five-decade Rosary. After the opening prayers, each large bead carries the Eternal Father prayer, and each of the ten small beads: “For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world.” Five decades are followed by Holy God three times, then optional closing prayers from St. Faustina’s Diary.

People turn to the chaplet for conversion, healing, peace in suffering, and intercession for souls in need of mercy. The heart of the devotion is trust: “Jesus, I trust in You.”

The Hour of Great Mercy - 3 o’clock

3:00 p.m.

Jesus revealed to St. Faustina that 3 o’clock in the afternoon - the hour of His death on the Cross - is a privileged time of mercy. He asked that we immerse ourselves in His Passion, especially at that hour, and entrust the whole world to His mercy.

At the Hour of Great Mercy, many of the faithful pause for a moment of prayer: recalling the Passion, praying the chaplet if they can, or at least a short act of trust. It is a daily reminder that mercy flowed from the Cross and is still poured out for sinners.

“At three o’clock, implore My mercy, especially for sinners; and, if only for a brief moment, immerse yourself in My Passion… In this hour I will refuse nothing to the soul that makes a request of Me in virtue of My Passion.” - Diary of St. Faustina (approx. 1320)

If you cannot pray the full chaplet at 3:00, even a brief prayer - “Jesus, I trust in You” - or a moment with the Cross unites you to that hour of mercy.
