REFLECTION

What is the purpose of Divine Mercy which we celebrate

today? The purpose of Divine Mercy is to plead God’s Mercy as it

was foretold by Jesus to St. Faustina in the 1930’s in Poland.

In 1935, Saint Faustina received a vision of an angel sent by

God to chastise a certain city. She began to pray for mercy,

but her prayers were powerless. Suddenly she saw the Holy

Trinity and felt the power of Jesus’ grace within her. At the

same time she found herself pleading with God for mercy

with words she heard interiorly:

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; for

the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on

the whole world (Diary, 476).

As she continued saying this inspired prayer, the angel

became helpless and could not carry out the deserved

punishment (see Diary, 474, 475).

The next day as she was entering the chapel, she again heard

this interior voice, instructing her how to recite the prayer that

our Lord later called “the Chaplet”. From then on, she recited

this form of prayer almost constantly, offering it especially

for the dying.

In subsequent revelations, the Lord made it clear that the

Chaplet was not just for her, but for the whole world. He also

attached extraordinary promises to its recitation.

Encourage souls to say the Chaplet which I have given you

(Diary, 1547). Whoever will recite it will receive great

mercy at the hour of death (Diary, 687). When they say this

chaplet in the presence of the dying, I will stand between

My Father and the dying person, not as the just Judge but

as the Merciful Savior (Diary, 1541). 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 (Diary, 687). I desire to grant

unimaginable graces to those souls who trust in My mercy

(Diary, 687). Through the Chaplet you will obtain

everything, if what you ask for is compatible with My will

(Diary, 1731).

Prayed on ordinary rosary beads, the Chaplet of Divine

Mercy is an intercessory prayer that extends the offering of

the Eucharist, so it is especially appropriate to use it after

having received Holy Communion at Holy Mass. It may be

said at any time, but our Lord specifically told Saint Faustina

to recite it during the nine days before the Feast of Mercy (the

first Sunday after Easter). He then added: By this Novena

[of Chaplets], I will grant every possible grace to souls

(Diary, 796). It is likewise appropriate to pray the Chaplet

during the “Hour of Great Mercy” three o’clock each

afternoon (recalling the time of Christ’s death on the cross).

In His revelations to Saint Faustina, Our Lord asked for a

special remembrance of His Passion at that hour.
