How to Pray
At 3:00 PM each day, pause briefly to pray. Even a moment of prayer at this hour is powerful. You may pray the Chaplet of Divine Mercy or simply this short prayer.
Prayer Text
You expired, Jesus, but the source of life gushed forth for souls, and the ocean of mercy opened up for the whole world. O Fount of Life, unfathomable Divine Mercy, envelop the whole world and empty Yourself out upon us. O Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a fount of mercy for us, I trust in You! Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us and on the whole world. (3x)
