Lord Have Mercy....

Pope John Paul II

1920~2005


Our beloved Father Pope John Paul II

has stepped out of the shoes of the fisherman....

it will take an exceptional man to take his place....

His lessons of mercy and love... are a challenge to the world....

May he rest in the eternal peace and love of the Lord....

Pope John Paul II..... He tried to bring Mercy to the world

In Honor of Divine Mercy Sunday....Sr. Faustina
You expired, Jesus, but the source of life gushed forth

for souls, and the ocean of mercy opened up for

the whole world. O Fount of Life, unfathomable

Divine Mercy, envelop the whole world

and empty Yourself out upon us.

O Blood and Water, which gushed forth

from the Heart of Jesus as a fountain of

Mercy for us, I trust in You!

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.

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.

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 Ghost,

born of the Virgin Mary,

suffered under Pontius Pilate,

was crucified; died, and was buried.

He descended into Hell; the third day

He arose again from the dead;

He ascended into Heaven,

sitteth at the right hand of God,

the Father Almighty; from thence

He shall 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

the life everlasting. Amen.

Then, on the large bead before each decade:


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.

On the ten small beads of each decade, say:

For the sake of His sorrowful Passion,
have mercy on us and on the whole world.

Conclude with (Say 3 Times):
Holy God,
Holy Mighty One,
Holy Immortal One,
have mercy on us
and on the whole world.
Optional Closing Prayer

Eternal God, in whom mercy is endless and the treasury of compassion -- inexhaustible, look kindly upon us and increase Your mercy in us, that in difficult moments we might not despair nor become despondent, but with great confidence submit ourselves to Your holy will, which is Love and Mercy itself.

Our Lord said to Saint Faustina:

Encourage souls to say the Chaplet which I have given you ...

Whoever will recite it will receive great mercy at the hour of death ...

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 ...

Priests will recommend it to sinners as their last home 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.

I desire to grant unimaginable graces to

those souls who trust in My mercy ...

Through the Chaplet you will obtain everything,

if what you ask for is compatible with My will.

How fitting that Our Holy Father go home to his Father in heaven....

after participating in the celebration of the Divine Mercy Mass....
