When I pray the chaplet there are a couple of things I like to do. Neither of them are strictly in the instructions. I was just wondering if they were ok.
Firstly I tend to pray each decade for a different person/group of people/situation rather than praying the whole chaplet for someone. There’s generally a gap between the decades to say prayers for the person/situation before praying the decade for them.
Secondly I sometimes like to focus on a different aspect of the Passion with each prayer, something like:
For the sake of his sorrowful passion, for the crown of thorns he wore, have mercy on us and on the whole world.
For the sake of his sorrowful passion, for the beatings he received while blindfolder, have mercy on us and on the whole world.
And so on, running from the agony in the garden through to his death.
I’m sort of trying to do this largely because Faustina spent so much time contemplating the Passion and doing this helps me. But it isn’t strictly in the chaplet instructions so is it ok? Is it still the chaplet?
