How to Recite the Chaplet of Divine Mercy
The Chaplet of Mercy is recited using ordinary rosary beads of five decades. At the National Shrine of Divine Mercy in Stockbridge, Massachusetts the Chaplet is preceded by two opening prayers from the Diary of Saint Faustina and followed by a closing prayer.
Begin with the Our Father, the Hail Mary and the Apostle's Creed:
Then, on the large bead before each decade:
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.
On the ten small beads of each decade, say:
For the sake of His sorrowful Passion,have mercy on us and on the whole world.
Conclude with (Say 3 Times):
Holy God, Holy Mighty One,Holy Immortal One,have mercy on us and on the whole world.
