Well the title is the question
I would be intrested in the Divine Mercy Chaplet but I donât have a clue on how to pray it. And I do believe I asked this question before but never got a response.
So howâs a Chaplet prayed?
Thank you,

Not being Catholic, I might not be 100% correct on this, but this is how I learned:
Holding the Crucifix of your Rosary, cross yourself (âin the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, amenâ)âjust like you would at the beginning of praying the Rosary.
I skip the first bead and go to the 3 beads that you would normally say the first 3 Hail Marys:
1st beadâsay the âOur Fatherâ
2nd beadâsay the âHail Maryâ
3rd beadâsay the Apostlesâ Creed
Then on the next bead (where you would say the first Mystery and âOur Fatherâ if you were praying the Rosary), say:
"Eternal Father, I offer you the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity, of Your dearly beloved Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, in atonement for our sins and those of the whole world."
On each of the next 10 beads (the Hail Mary beads), say:
"For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world."
Say the âEternal Father, I offer youâŚâ on the Our Father beads and the âFor the sakeâŚâ on the Hail Mary beads. When youâve gone through the 5 decades, where you would normally say the âHail, Holy Queen,â say:
**âHoly God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us and on the whole world.â **(Say this 3 times.)
Then cross yourself again holding the Crucifix.
