the Divine Mercy Chaplet

for some time now, i've felt that it's important to pray for the world.. for God to show His mercy to everyone.
"I do not want to punish mankind, but I desire to heal it, pressing it to My merciful Heart" (Jesus to St. Faustina)
i think a great prayer for this is the Divine Mercy Chaplet. it's such a powerful prayer. God has shown me that the promises attached to it, and to the entire DM devotion, are true.

From the Introduction to St. Faustina's "Divine Mercy in My Soul":

"this chaplet was dictated to St. Faustina by the Lord Jesus Christ Himself in Vilnius on Sept. 13-14, 1935.. by means of this prayer, the petitioners request "mercy on us and on the whole world", and by so doing, they perform a work of mercy. If the faithful add to this the foundation of trust and fulfill the conditions regarding every good prayer (humility, perseverence, matters in conformity with God's will), they can expect the fulfilment of Christ's promises which are particularly related to the hour of death: the grace of conversion and a peaceful death.

Not only will the people who say the chaplet receive these graces, but also the dying at whose side others will recite this prayer. the Lord said: "When this chaplet is said by the bedside of a dying person, God's anger is placated, unfathomable mercy envelops the soul" (Diary, 811). The general promise says: "It pleases Me to grant everything they ask of Me by saying this chaplet...if what you ask for is compatible with My will" (Diary 1541, 1731). For, anything that is not compatible with God's will is not good for people, especially for their eternal happiness.

On a different occasion, Jesus said, "...by saying the chaplet you are bringing humankind closer to Me" (Diary 929). "the souls that say this chaplet will be embraced by My mercy during their lifetime and especially at the hour of their death" (Diary, 754).

THE DIVINE MERCY CHAPLET
(recited on rosary beads)

+In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit+

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy Name, Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.

Hail Mary full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the Fruit of Thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death.

I believe in God, the Father almighty, Creator of Heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord. He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit, and born of the Virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended to the dead. On the third day He rose again. He ascended into Heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Holy Catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.

("then, on the "our Father" beads, you will say the following words":)

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 "hail Mary" beads you will say the following words":)

For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world.

("In conclusion three times you will say these words":)

Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us and on the whole world.
