Sample Church Bulletin announcement:

DIVINE MERCY SUNDAY Jesus promised St. Faustina that on Divine Mercy Sunday "The soul that will go to Confession and receive Holy Communion shall obtain complete forgiveness of sins and punishment." Please join us Sunday, April , at p.m. , Divine Mercy Sunday, for confession, remission of all punishment for your sins, recitation of The Chaplet of Mercy, and celebration of God's Mercy and forgiveness. For more information visit www.divinemercysunday.com or call (insert name & phone of parish coordinator).

In 1935, Jesus requested St. Faustina to encourage everyone to pray "The Chaplet of Mercy." Jesus said "Encourage souls to say the Chaplet...Whoever will recite it will receive great mercy...Through the Chaplet you will obtain everything, if what you ask is compatible with My will."

Using a rosary begin with:
Our Father, Hail Mary, Apostles' Creed

On large bead before each decade pray:
"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 the 10 small beads of each decade pray:
"For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world."

Conclude by praying 3 times:
Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us and on the whole world."
