    The Divine Mercy Chaplet.

    Saint Faustina had a very close personal relationship with Jesus, Jesus taught her the Divine Mercy Prayers to help people in these end times.

    Our Lord also made promises to those who pray his Divine Mercy Chaplet. Here are the 14 promises Jesus made to those who pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet:

    (1) “I promise that the soul that will venerate this image (of Divine Mercy) will not perish. I also promise victory over one's enemies already here on earth, especially at the hour of death. I Myself will defend it as My own glory.” (Diary of Saint Faustina, 48)

    (2) “The two rays denote Blood and Water... These two rays issued from the very depths of My tender mercy when My agonized Heart was opened by a lance on the Cross. These rays shield souls from the wrath of My Father... I desire that the first Sunday after Easter be the Feast of Mercy... whoever approaches the Fount of Life on this day will be granted complete remission of sins and punishment. Mankind will not have peace until it turns with trust to My mercy.” (Diary of Saint Faustina, 299-300)

    (3) “I desire that the Feast of Mercy... be solemnly celebrated on the first Sunday after Easter... The soul that will go to Confession and receive Holy Communion (in a state of grace on this day) shall obtain complete forgiveness of sins and punishment.” (Diary of Saint Faustina, 699)

    (4) “Whoever will recite it will receive great mercy at the hour of death.” (Diary of Saint Faustina, 687)

    (5) “Priests will recommend it to sinners as their last hope of salvation. Even if there were a sinner most hardened, if he were to recite this chaplet only once, he would receive grace from My infinite mercy... I desire to grant unimaginable graces to those souls who trust in My mercy.” (Diary of Saint Faustina, 687)

    (6) “The souls that say this chaplet will be embraced by My mercy during their lifetime and especially at the hour of their death.” (Diary of Saint Faustina, 754)

    (7) “Souls who spread the honor of My mercy... at the hour of death I will not be a Judge for them, but the Merciful Savior.” (Diary of Saint Faustina, 1075)

    (8) “The prayer most pleasing to Me is prayer for the conversion for sinners. Know, my daughter, that this prayer is always heard and answered.” (Diary of Saint Faustina, 1397)

    (9) “My mercy is greater than your sins and those of the entire world.” (Diary of Saint Faustina, 1485)

    (10) “To priests who proclaim and extol My mercy, I will give wondrous power; I will anoint their words and touch the hearts of those to whom they will speak.” (Diary of Saint Faustina, 1521)

    (11) “Through this chaplet, you will obtain everything, if what you ask for is compatible with My will.” (Diary of Saint Faustina, 1731)

    (12) “When hardened sinners say it, I will fill their souls with peace, and the hour of their death will be a happy one.” (Diary of Saint Faustina, 1541)

    (13) “When they say this chaplet in the presence of the dying, I will stand between My Father and the dying person, not as a just Judge but as a merciful Savior.” (Diary of Saint Faustina, 1541)

    (14) “At three o’clock, implore My mercy, especially for sinners; and, if only for a brief moment, immerse yourself in My Passion, particularly in My abandonment at the moment of agony... I will refuse nothing to the soul that makes a request of Me in virtue of My Passion.” (Diary of Saint Faustina, 1320)

    The Seven Sorrows Rosary.

    Promises made to Saint Brigid of Sweden for those that pray this devotion.

    1. ”I will grant peace to their families."
    2. ”They will be enlightened about the divine Mysteries."
    3. ”I will console them in their pains and will accompany them in their work."
    4. ”I will give them as much as they ask for as long as it does not oppose the adorable will of my divine Son or the sanctification of their souls."
    5. ”I will defend them in their spiritual battles with the infernal enemy and I will protect them at every instant of their lives."
    6. ”I will visibly help them at the moment of their death-- they will see the face of their mother."
    7. ”I have obtained this grace from my divine Son, that those who propagate this devotion to my tears and dolors will be taken directly from this earthly life to eternal happiness, since all their sins will be forgiven and my Son will be their eternal consolation and joy.
    These devotions I have found are particularly powerful.

    I love the Chaplet of Divine Mercy! My wife and I regularly pray it at 3 PM. Also love to join in the EWTN presentation. It has greatly enriched our prayer life and feeds our souls. Thanks for posting

    Rosary promises.

    1. Those who faithfully serve me by the recitation of the Rosary shall receive signal graces.

    2. I promise my special protection and the greatest graces to all those who shall recite the Rosary.

    3. The Rosary shall be a powerful armor against hell. It will destroy vice, decrease sin, and defeat heresies.

    4. The recitation of the Rosary will cause virtue and good works to flourish. It will obtain for souls the abundant mercy of God. It will withdraw the hearts of men from the love of the world and its vanities, and will lift them to the desire of eternal things. Oh, that souls would sanctify themselves by this means.

    5. The soul which recommends itself to me by the recitation of the Rosary shall not perish.

    6. Those who recite my Rosary devoutly, applying themselves to the consideration of its sacred mysteries, shall never be conquered by misfortune. In His justice, God will not chastise them; nor shall they perish by an unprovided death, i.e., be unprepared for heaven. Sinners shall convert. The just shall persevere in grace and become worthy of eternal life.

    7. Those who have a true devotion to the Rosary shall not die without the sacraments of the Church.

    8. Those who faithfully recite the Rosary shall have, during their life and at their death, the light of God and the plenitude of His graces. At the moment of death, they shall participate in the merits of the saints in paradise.

    9. I shall deliver from purgatory those who have been devoted to the Rosary.

    10. The faithful children of the Rosary shall merit a high degree of glory in heaven.

    11. By the recitation of the Rosary you shall obtain all that you ask of me.

    12. Those who propagate the holy Rosary shall be aided by me in their necessities.

    13. I have obtained from my Divine Son that all the advocates of the Rosary shall have for intercessors the entire celestial court during their life and at the hour of their death.

    14. All who recite the Rosary are my beloved children and the brothers and sisters of my only Son, Jesus Christ.

    15. Devotion for my Rosary is a great sign of predestination.

    You pray the EWTN Divine Mercy Chaplet as well, it’s brilliant isn’t it. In fact all the EWTN programming has been a great blessing.

    Angelic Rosary/ Saint Michaels chaplet I call it.

    Promises:

    Whosoever would practice this devotion in his honor would have, when approaching the Holy Table, an escort of nine angels chosen from each one of the nine choirs. In addition, for the daily recital of these nine salutations, he promised his continual assistance and that of all the holy angels during life and after death, deliverance from purgatory for themselves and for their relations.

    This is why we get so much help from the Angels and they visibly help us when we need them and especially in street ministry.

    Nothing can harm you when you get their help.

    I remember sending angels after a motorcyclist who blew past me at enormous speed one time. Down the road he crashed with a massive fireball and bike unrecognisable. Catching up I saw the bloke and an Angel next to him, but when I got out the Angel disappeared, and asked if he was alright and he didn’t have a scratch, he couldn’t understand why he was alive let alone uninjured.
    Use the Angels, people totally forget them, but can’t count the number of times they helped or turned the situation around.

    Important to salute the Holy Angels, we will be with them for all eternity.

    That's a beautiful testimony. I have had encounters with them and my wife as well. No could ever convince me of their presence among and of their tremendous importance in escorting us throughout this pilgrimage. Thanks for sharing your story

    My wife and I pray the Chaplet of Divine Mercy to remind ourselves that we must rely on God; we must recognize our weakness and replace our anxieties and worries with abounding trust in God.

    I will never forget the time when I was starting my journey into the Catholic Church and I was visiting a monk near his monastery north of Petersham, Mass. He was in habit and also talking to another friend at the same time. A wind came up and blew his scapular to the side revealing a small chaplet he was actively praying while conversing with us. Later I ran into him again and asked about that. He replied that he was praying for our conversion even while witnessing his faith to us. Both my friend and did convert and are grateful not only for this monks prayers but also introducing us this wonderful chaplet.

    I’ve done the 15 prayers Jesus gave Saint Bridget in honour of His wounds and Passion.

    Saint Bridget prayed for a long time to know how many blows Our Lord suffered during His terrible Passion. Rewarding her patience, one day He appeared to her and said:

    "I received 5475 blows upon My Body. If you wish to honor them in some way, recite fifteen Our Fathers and fifteen Hail Marys with the following Prayers, which I Myself shall teach you, for an entire year. When the year is finished, you will have honored each of My Wounds."

    Promises:

    1 I will deliver 15 souls of his lineage from Purgatory.
    2 15 souls of his lineage will be confirmed and preserved in grace.
    3 15 sinners of his lineage will be converted.
    4 Whoever recites these Prayers will attain in the first degree of perfection.
    5 15 days before his death I will give him My Precious Body in order that he may escape eternal starvation; I will give him My Precious Blood to drink lest he thirst eternally.
    6 15 days before his death he will feel a deep contrition for all his sins and will have a perfect knowledge of them.
    7 I will place before him the sign of My Victorious Cross for his help and defense against the attacks of his enemies.
    8 Before his death I shall come with My Dearest Beloved Mother.
    9 I shall graciously receive his soul, and will lead it into eternal joys.
    10 And having led it there I shall give him a special draught from the fountain of My Deity, something I will not for those who have not recited My Prayers.
    11 Let it be known that whoever may have been living in the state of mortal sin for 30 years, but who will recite devoutly, or have the intention to recite these Prayers, the Lord will forgive him all his sins.
    12 I shall protect him from strong temptations.
    13 I shall preserve and guard his 5 senses.
    14 I shall preserve him from a sudden death.
    15 His soul will be delivered from eternal death.
    16 He will obtain all he asks for from God and the Blessed Virgin.
    17 If he has lived all his life doing his own will and he is to die the next day, his life will be prolonged.
    18 Every time one recites these Prayers he gains 100 days indulgence.
    19 He is assured of being joined to the supreme Choir of Angels.
    20 Whoever teaches these Prayers to another, will have continuous joy and merit which will endure eternally.
    21 There where these prayer are being said or will be said in the future God is present with His grace.

    I have had powerful experiences of Mary’s intercession with Jesus, and can confirm what’s said in the video.

    Promises of Our Lord for Those Who Practice this Devotion:
    1. At each word that you pronounce of the Chaplet of the Holy Wounds, I allow a drop of My Blood to fall upon the soul of a sinner.
    2. Each time that you offer to My Father the merits of My divine Wounds, you win an immense fortune.
    3. Souls that will have contemplated and honored My crown of thorns on earth, will be My crown of glory in Heaven!
    4. I will grant all that is asked of Me through the invocation of My Holy Wounds. You will obtain everything, because it is through the merit of My Blood, which is of infinite price. With My Wounds and My Divine Heart, everything can be obtained.
    5. From My Wounds proceed fruits of sanctity. As gold purified in the crucible becomes more beautiful, so you must put your soul and those of your companions into My sacred Wounds; there they will become perfected as gold in the furnace. You can always purify yourself in My Wounds.
    6. My Wounds will repair yours. My Wounds will cover all your faults. Those who honor them will have a true knowledge of Jesus Christ. In meditation on them, you will always find a new love. My Wounds will cover all your sins.
    7. Plunge your actions into My Wounds and they will be of value. All your actions, even the least, soaked in My Blood, will acquire by this alone an infinite merit and will please My Heart.
    8. In offering My Wounds for the conversion of sinners, even though the sinners are not converted, you will have the same merit before God as if they were.
    9. When you have some trouble, something to suffer, quickly place it in My Wounds, and the pain will be alleviated.
    10. This aspiration must often be repeated near the sick: "My Jesus, pardon and mercy through the merits of Your Holy Wounds!" This prayer will solace soul and body.
    11. A sinner who will say the following prayer will obtain conversion: "Eternal Father, I offer You the Wounds of our Lord Jesus Christ to heal those of our souls."
    12. There will be no death for the soul that expires in My Holy Wounds; they give true life.
    13. This chaplet is a counterpoise to My justice; it restrains My vengeance.
    14. Those who pray with humility and who meditate on My Passion, will one day participate in the glory of My divine Wounds.
    15. The more you will have contemplated My painful Wounds on this earth, the higher will be your contemplation of them glorious in Heaven.
    16. The soul who during life has honored the Wounds of our Lord Jesus Christ and has offered them to the Eternal Father for the Souls in Purgatory, will be accompanied at the moment of death by the Holy Virgin and the angels; and Our Lord on the Cross, all brilliant in glory, will receive her and crown her.
    17. The invocations of the Holy Wounds will obtain an incessant victory for the Church.

    I prayed The Holy Wounds prayers over people in nursing homes and the dying and they had very powerful effects.
