The divine mercy chaplet
The souls that say this chaplet will be embraced by My mercy during their lifetime and especially at the hour of their death.”
The Chaplet is Prayed on a five-decade Rosary
1. Make the Sign of the Cross
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
2. Our Father
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.
3. Hail Mary
Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst 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, Amen.
4. The Apostle's Creed
I believe in God, the Father almighty, Creator of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, 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 life everlasting. Amen.
5. The Eternal Father
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.
6. On the Ten Small Beads of Each Decade
For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world.
7. Repeat for the remaining decades

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

meditating on the 7 sorrows of mary
Each group of the seven sorrows is begun with an Our Father, as in the regular Rosary. You may consider starting with an Act of Contrition since the devotion has a penitential aspect. The groups of seven Hail Marys are an occasion for meditation on each of the Seven Sorrows of Mary.
The First Sorrow
The Prophecy of Simeon
Reading: Luke 2:25-35.When Mary and Joseph present the infant Jesus in the temple, Simeon predicts that a "sword" (of sorrow) will pierce Mary's soul.
Pray the "Our Father" then pray the "Hail Mary" seven times
The Second Sorrow
The Flight into Egypt
Reading: Matthew 2:13-15.When King Herod orders the death of all male children age two or younger, Mary and Joseph flee to Egypt with the infant Jesus.
Pray the "Our Father" then pray the "Hail Mary" seven times
The Third Sorrow
The Child Jesus Lost in the Temple
Reading: Luke 2: 41-50.Mary and Joseph search for the child Jesus for three days, finding Him at last — after agonizing sorrow — in the temple.
Pray the "Our Father" then pray the "Hail Mary" seven times
The Fourth Sorrow
Mary meets Jesus carrying the cross
Reading: Luke 23: 27-29.As Jesus makes His way to Calvary, condemned to crucifixion, He meets His mother, Mary. He is bruised, derided, cursed and defiled and her sorrow is absolute as Jesus drags His own cross up the hill of His crucifixion.
Pray the "Our Father" then pray the "Hail Mary" seven times
The Fifth Sorrow
Mary at the foot of the cross
Reading: John 19: 25-30.Mary stands near her dying Son unable to minister to him as He cries "I thirst." She hears Him promise heaven to a thief and forgive His enemies. His last words, "Behold your mother," charge us to look on Mary as our mother.
Pray the "Our Father" then pray the "Hail Mary" seven times
The Sixth Sorrow
Mary receives the body of Jesus
Reading: Psalm 130.Jesus is taken down from the cross and His body is placed in Mary's arms. The passion and death are over, but for His mother, grief continues. She holds His body in her arms.
Pray the "Our Father" then pray the "Hail Mary" seven times
The Seventh Sorrow
Mary witnesses the burial of Jesus
Reading: Luke 23: 50-56.The body of Jesus is laid in the tomb. The most tragic day in history ends, Mary alone in sorrow, awaiting the Resurrection.
Pray the "Our Father" then pray the "Hail Mary" seven times
