+- Start with the sign of the cross
+- On the first big bead\
+  **Optional Opening Prayer**\
+  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! (3x)
+- On the first of the 3 small beads pray an **Our Father**
+- On the second of the 3 small beads pray a **Hail Mary**
+- On the third of the 3 small beads pray\
+  **The Apostle's Creed**\
+  I believe in God,\
+  the Father almighty,\
+  Creator of Heaven and earth,\
+  and in Jesus Christ,\
+  His only Son, our Lord,\
+  who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,\
+  born of the Virgin Mary,\
+  suffered under Pontius Pilate,\
+  was crucified, died, and was buried;\
+  He descended into hell;\
+  on the third day He rose again from the dead;\
+  He ascended into Heaven,\
+  and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty;\
+  from there He will come to judge the living and the dead.\
+  I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church,\
+  the communion of Saints,\
+  the forgiveness of sins,\
+  the resurrection of the body,\
+  and life everlasting. Amen.
+- On each of the remaining large beads pray:\
+  **The Eternal Father**\
+  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 remaining small beads pray:\
+  For the sake of His sorrowful Passion,\
+  have mercy on us and on the whole world.
+- **Closing Prayers**\
+  Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us and on the whole world. (x3)
+
+  Eternal God, in whom mercy is endless,\
+  and the treasury of compassion inexhaustible,\
+  look kindly upon us,\
+  and increase Your mercy in us,\
+  that in difficult moments,\
+  we might not despair, nor become despondent,\
+  but with great confidence, submit ourselves to Your holy will,\
+  which is Love and Mercy Itself. Amen.
+- End with the sign of the cross.
