Praying the chaplet of Divine Mercy

From personal experience, the Divine Mercy Chaplet has been a great source of both spiritual calm and intercession.


A particularly difficult situation at work was largely resolved to the greater benefit of my colleagues and I can only attribute this last-minute reprieve we gained, to praying the chaplet fervently.


Here is a good explanation and description of the Divine Mercy Chaplet.


The chaplet may be prayed at any time but the Lord Jesus Christ has also specifically asked for it to be recited as a novena. The second day of the novena in particular is especially for priests and the religious.


Here is an excerpt from the intention for the second day: "Most Merciful Jesus, from whom comes all that is good, increase Your grace in men and women consecrated to Your service, that they may perform worthy works of mercy; and that all who see them may glorify the Father of Mercy who is in heaven."


One possibility is for you to begin the novena the day before your pledged hour, so that you may pray the second day's intention during your hour before the Blessed Sacrament.
