The Divine Mercy Chaplet is a powerful prayer in which we ask for God's mercy in our lives and the lives of others.  We ask that our anxieties and worries be replaced with abounding trust in God!  We pray that we will live out the words, "Jesus, I Trust in You!"


The image you see here and the words of the Divine Mercy Chaplet were given to St. Faustina, a Polish nun, in 1931.  Jesus speaks to us through her diary.


"Souls who spread the honor of My mercy I shield through their entire lives as a tender mother her infant, and at the hour of death I will not be a Judge for them, but the Merciful Savior. At that last hour, a soul has nothing with which to defend itself except My mercy. Happy is the soul that during its lifetime immersed itself in the Fountain of Mercy, because justice will have no hold on it."

(Diary, 1075).


"At the hour of their death, I defend as My own glory every soul that will say this chaplet; or when others say it for a dying person, the pardon is the same. When this chaplet is said by the bedside of a dying person, God's anger is placated, unfathomable mercy envelops the soul, and the very depths of My tender mercy are moved for the sake of the sorrowful Passion of My Son."

(Diary, 811).


Please join us as we pray the Chaplet of Divine Mercy in the Little Church every day at 3:33 pm and the Main Church on Wednesday after the Noon Mass.



If you are already praying with us in either of the churches and would consider helping us by leading the Chaplet, we would appreciate your help.  Leaders tend to find an extra measure of peace when leading the Chaplet.
