Spiritual Benefits of the Chaplet of Divine Mercy

Spiritual benefits of the chaplet. The essence of the Chaplet of Divine Mercy is remarkable in its simplicity, but also perfectly insignificant as it is simply a summary of the original gospel message preached by Our Lord himself during his time on earth. In it, we ask God to grant his mercy to us and to the whole world. In her diary, Faustina records a vision in which an angel is sent by God to destroy a sinful city, but the angel's power is interrupted when Faustina begins to recite the Chaplet. This vision represents what happens every time we pray the chaplet of Divine Mercy, or venerate the image of Jesus as the King of Mercy. Our pleading for God's mercy calms or sates His wrath and clears the doors of His mercy on sinners.

Spiritual benefits of the chaplet, what Jesus desires

The Church has long understood that the blood and water flowing from Christ's side on the cross represent the Church, just as Eve was formed from Adam's side. The inclusion of this blood and water in the image of Divine Mercy illuminates and revives its meaning. The blood of Christ redeems us and the waters of baptism make us members of his life and partakers of the redemption he offers us. Together, they are the means by which human beings receive God's mercy. The chaplet of Divine Mercy and all other elements of devotion to Divine Mercy are ways for us to implore God's mercy on ourselves and on the whole world.

Christ told Saint Faustina that not only will he consent to be merciful, but he wishes it positively; He wants us to ask him for mercy, because he doesn't want us to perish forever. As Pope Francis said in his first Angelus address in 2013: “The Lord never tires of forgiving us.

It is we who get tired of asking for forgiveness “. We can use the devotion of Divine Mercy to bring this forgiveness, as well as countless other graces, to the world. God wants you to come to Him with confidence, as He is your Father. Let us go confidently, with Saint Faustina, to God our Father to ask him for forgiveness. We say with Saint Faustina: “Jesus, I trust in You!
