I started it today, thank you for posting it. Our priest reminded us yesterday to start today, but i forgot to pick up a copy at church. I emailed this to my dear best friend who is on vacation, and she started it as well.
Awww…don’t put such a sad face. :bounce: Nowhere have I seen that it is mandatory to do it at 3pm…so don’t sweat it. The reason I am doing it at 3pm is because that is considered the “Hour Of Mercy” for Our Lord and the Lord told Saint Faustina that he wanted a “Novena of Chaplets” as it states in a book on Divine Mercy that I have…so after saying the Novena one does the Chaplet of Divine Mercy and usually its done at 3pm from what I have seen.
What happens if you don’t do it at 3pm. I am planning to do it but could not because of course we had Good Friday services. My priest is recommending it and he did it at the start of Good Friday services there. But in the mission Church(where I attended) we just had a lay led liturgy Good Friday Service. So I couldnt do it at three. But I still plan to do it tonight.

I started the novena too. I said mine this evening. I was at the Good Friday liturgy at 3 p.m. and at the Stations of the Cross at 7 p.m., so I said the Divine Mercy Chaplet with the intentions for today after I got home from the Stations. I’ll say it tomorrow at 3 p.m. On Easter, I’ll probably say it around 12 noon, since I’m going to Mass at 10 a.m. and my extended family is getting together around 4 p.m. It’s about an hour drive, so I’ll be unable to say it at 3 p.m. The rest of the next week, 3 p.m. should work.Awww…don’t put such a sad face. :bounce: Nowhere have I seen that it is mandatory to do it at 3pm…so don’t sweat it.

I am sure that Our Lord knows that there are times when life can make it impossible to pray at the same hour every day… Do the Novena of Divine Mercy as faithfully as you can at 3pm and if you are not able to through no fault of your own the Lord knows that in your heart you wanted to and that is what counts…where ones heart is.
Besides Our Lord told Saint Faustina to pray the Chaplet of Divine Mercy unceasingly (sp?)…so you can pray it as many times during the day as you like.
God bless
I prayed the prayer that you linked to - is that all? Or do I need to pray the chaplet as well?
This site gives the prayers for the intentions for each of the nine days, as well as the instructions on how to say the chaplet. You should say the chaplet too. It’s not very long. It is said using a regular rosary, but the prayers are really short, so it takes only about half the time that a rosary takes. Here’s the link. catholicity.com/prayer/divinemercy.html. If you scroll down the page, you’ll see the instructions for the chaplet, as well as the prayers for each day of the novena.
Here’s a good list. It starts with the Lord’s Pray, Hail Mary, then Apostle’s Creed.I have a quickie question. When you do the chaplet, do you only use the beads on the decades? Not the cross or the 3 beads after the cross or the medal? I’m kinda confused as to exactly how to do it.
Thanks
