It has been a while scince I have heard it on EWTN, How does the Chaplet of Devine Mercy go? I can’t remeber what prayers and in what order go at the begining (among other things). Thanks and God bless.
And no. You do not meditate on the rosary mysteries, but you could if you wanted to! It is much more flexible being a private devotion, and also it is a chaplet which can never take place of the Most Holy Rosary.
I use it as an intercessory prayer. On each bead I remember someone who has died or someone living that I love. I especially try to remember my family and friends who seem off-track. I also pray for my kids’ future spouses.
