"Have mercy on us and on the whole world"- is this addressed to the Father?

In the DM Chaplet. After an offering to the Father we pray those ten prayers that end as quoted in the title. Is this to the Father? Or to the whole Trinity? Or to Jesus?

I always thought the Diary was about the mercy of Jesus (who is God of course)…

So I’m going to answer this to the best of my ability. But I think right here you answered it yourself. We do say “Eternal Father…” before the repeated 10 prayers. So it seems to be addressed to God the Father. However, as you said, Jesus is God. So the mercy of Jesus is also the Mercy of God the Father. Does that make any sense to you?

Yes, this is what I thought. So when Jesus says “My Mercy” in the Diary that is the same Mercy as the Father and Holy Spirit?

Yes. I found this quote: “The Holy Spirit, who is love personified in the Trinity, is also the mercy of God personified.” The Holy Spirit isn’t referred to as much in conversation about mercy. But since the Trinity is one, then it makes sense that mercy is part of all.
