Is it ok to substitute the divine mercy for the rosary. Instead of saying the rosary? I’ve always had luck with the rosary. But I like the divine mercy.

Why not do both? If only one is an option, I would pray the Rosary.
I love the Divine Mercy Chaplet and St. Faustina, but the Chaplet is not the Rosary. Although I know what sort of opinions many have on private revelation, I will continue to state that Our Lady requested that we pray the Rosary on a daily basis. I think we should all begin to go out of our way to live up to that.

Im pretty sure that the Rosary was given to St. Dominic in a “private revelation” and that Our Lady requested that we pray the Rosary in another “private revelation” at Fatima.Why not do both?

I personally say the Divine Mercy Chaplet.

Both are private devotions. You can do either or both as you care to.

I provided just one of many possible citations of why, in the mind of the Church, the rosary is a devotion lauded by the Apostolic See, the body whom indeed holds and proclaims the public revelation for the faithful:
"Since, therefore, it is clearly evident that this form of prayer is particularly pleasing to the Blessed Virgin, and that it is especially suitable as a means of defence for the Church and all Christians, it is in no way wonderful that several others of Our Predecessors have made it their aim to favour and increase its spread by their high recommendations. Thus Urban IV, testified that “every day the Rosary obtained fresh boon for Christianity.” Sixtus IV declared that this method of prayer “redounded to the honour of God and the Blessed Virgin, and was well suited to obviate impending dangers;” Leo X that “it was instituted to oppose pernicious heresiarchs and heresies;” while Julius III called it “the glory of the Church.” So also St. Pius V., that “with the spread of this devotion the meditations of the faithful have begun to be more inflamed, their prayers more fervent, and they have suddenly become different men; the darkness of heresy has been dissipated, and the light of Catholic faith has broken forth again.” Lastly Gregory XIII in his turn pronounced that “the Rosary had been instituted by St. Dominic to appease the anger of God and to implore the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary.” (Leo XIII, Supremi Apostolatus Officio, 5)
To all who posted, please understand that I look forward to your arrival on the Final Judgement with utmost esteem for what is good about you.
