Praying the Divine Mercy Chaplet is s beautiful way to share, spread, and amplify God’s loving mercy. We have the opportunity to “add to” and amplify Divine Mercy through our actions and prayers. His mercy flows through the atoning death of His Son, but it can also flow through each of us. Divine Mercy has been poured forth abundantly, and it continues to pour forth! God communicates His mercy to each of us personally and to all of us collectively. In the prayer of Divine Mercy, we trust God’s love above our difficulties, praying - not just for ourselves - for everyone throughout the whole world.ĭivine Mercy is something that God has already given to us (through Christ’s saving death, communicated to us through the sacrament of Baptism), and it is something that God continues to give to us (through prayer and the sacraments of Reconciliation and Holy Communion). Praying for Divine Mercy is particularly important in our current context, when socio-political divisions cut deep and the global pandemic threatens many people’s health and livelihood. As we trust in Jesus and rely on God’s merciful love, we become more joyful and more able to share His mercy with others. Divine Mercy simply (and extraordinarily!) means that God’s love is greater than our sin and weakness. The message of Divine Mercy is simple, and yet it takes an entire lifetime to explore.
