Hi everyone, I came across this chaplet and I was wondering if any one else felt like it helped thier spirituality. I was so moved by this little known devotion that I felt compelled to write about it and go to one of those online self publishers. I’d love to see if anyone got as much out of this devotion as I did, Let me know!

Concluding prayers
- Three Times: “Down in Adoration falling, to Christ our loving king and sovereign- just one thing of Thee we implore: to know and love and serve Thee more.”
- “O Lord, Jesus, by your Cross and Resurrection, both your mercy and your justice shone. Christ our King, you paid the price of death for our sins so that we may receive God’s mercy. Help me to imitate your kingship by acting with mercy and justice in my own life. Christ, our King, you surrendered to your Father’s Will by saying, ‘not my will but yours be done.’ Help me to follow your example by surrendering completely to the Divine Will and trusting in the Providence of our Heavenly Father. As the wise men laid their gifts before Thee, I lay myself before you now, O Christ the King. As the Apostles wandered with you in the world to preach the Gospel, I follow you in this world by following your Gospel. As your Mother stood beneath the Cross and waited for the third day, I wait upon your coming, Christ my King. Christ, reign in our hearts and in our lives, until you come in glory in the fullness of time to be adored through endless ages. Amen.”
- Say: “Mary, our Queen and Mother, I now beg your intercession to obtain from your Divine Son all graces and aids necessary in my state in life to bring about the Kingdom of Christ in my own heart, in the hearts of others, and in the world.” -Pray the Hail Holy Queen.
- Litany:
Christ our King, Have mercy on us
Our Lady, Queen of Victory, Pray for us
All you holy angels and saints, Come to our aid - Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel
-Sign of the Cross, and recite “In Hoc Signum Vincis” (in this sign you will conquer)
