Family Prayer: Divine Mercy Chaplet
Thank you for taking the Family Prayer Quiz from Catholic Sprouts. It is essential that your family prays—and prays together! But prayer doesn’t just happen. Praying together as a family takes planning, commitment, and a whole lot of grace from God. So, great job on taking this first important step!
According to the quiz, praying a Divine Mercy Chaplet together is the perfect way for you to establish a prayer routine in your home. Yay! And guess what–this is a favorite prayer in our home! It’s powerful, beautiful…and much shorter than a Rosary!
WHAT IS THE DIVINE MERCY CHAPLET?
The Divine Mercy Chaplet is part of the Divine Mercy Devotion, which Jesus Himself gave to us through St. Faustina just over 100 years ago. It is a beautiful practice to pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet daily for those who have died and those facing death this day, especially those who will die alone. Jesus promised many blessings for those who say this prayer before they die.
Jesus appeared to St. Faustina, a Polish nun, and asked her to promote devotion to His Divine Mercy. This devotion included an image of Christ with rays of light shooting forth from His heart. The red rays symbolize His blood and the Eucharist. The white rays symbolize the water that flowed from His side and the waters of baptism. He also asked that under His image the words “Jesus, I trust in you” be written.
To pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet, all you need is a rosary! And praying the Divine Mercy Chaplet takes less than half the time required to pray a full Rosary. Therefore it is a great prayer for young families.
