Chaplet and Novena of Divine Mercy

The chaplet is a powerful intercessory prayer given to St. Faustina by Jesus. He asked that we make a Novena to His Divine Mercy from Good Friday to Divine Mercy Sunday, the Sunday after Easter. He also asked that the chaplet be said at 3 P.M. each day in memory of His death.
