Using your Rosary beads, pray this devotion at 3 o'clock, the Hour of Mercy, if possible, or after Holy Mass. Pray it anytime your heart is inspired.
Make the Sign of the Cross.
Pray: "You didst expire, Lord 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." (Optional)
"O Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a fountain of Mercy for us, I trust in You." (Three times)
Pray one Our Father.
Pray one Hail Mary.
Recite the Apostles' Creed.
On the large bead before each of the five decades:
"Eternal Father, I offer Thee 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."
On each small bead:
"For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world."
After five decades, conclude by saying three times:
"Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us and on the whole world."
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. Amen." (Optional)
