I believe in God, the Father almighty,
Creator of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord.

and born of the Virgin Mary.

He suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried.
He descended into hell.

On the third day he rose again from the dead.
He ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty.
From there He will come 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.

Why Pray the Chaplet of Divine Mercy?

JESUS himself revealed the Chaplet of the DIVINE MERCY to Sr Faustina and asked her to pray the Chaplet unceasingly. JESUS told her: Say unceasingly the chaplet that I have taught you. Whoever will recite it will receive great mercy at the hour of death. 
The Chaplet of DIVINE MERCY is one of the most powerful prayers we could possibly pray. JESUS told Sr Fausitna: Even if there were a sinner most hardened, if he were to recite this chaplet only once, he would receive grace from My infinite mercy.

 JESUS also told her:

One of the most important messages and powerful gifts Jesus gave to St. Faustina, and so also to us, is a very special prayer: The Divine Mercy Chaplet.

“Say unceasingly the chaplet that I have taught you. Whoever will recite it will receive great mercy at the hour of death. Priests will recommend it to sinners as their last hope of salvation. Even if there were a sinner most hardened, if he were to recite this chaplet only once, he would receive grace from My infinite mercy. I desire that the whole world know My infinite mercy. I desire to grant unimaginable graces to those souls who trust in My mercy." (Diary of Sister Faustina, Note number 687)

 “Speak to the world about My mercy; let all mankind recognize My unfathomable mercy. It is a sign for the end times; after it will come the day of justice. While there is still time, let them have recourse to the fount of My mercy; let them profit from the Blood and Water which gushed forth for them.”


Become a part of that great multitude in the world today-  Praising God for His great and abundant mercy! God is wooing us, longing for us, our trust, and our faith. Like a loved one in our lives, who just wants to be close, God wants us close to Him. Even if you do not know God, God knows you, and He loves you.  Do not hesitate to respond to his love, He simply wants to pour out His mercy on you.

 “Speak to the world about My mercy; let all mankind recognize My unfathomable mercy. It is a sign for the end times; after it will come the day of justice. While there is still time, let them have recourse to the fount of My mercy; let them profit from the Blood and Water which gushed forth for them.”
