TEMPORARY SHOP CLOSING AND DIVINE MERCY DEVOTION ENCOURAGEMENT
To all our customers and supporters,
Due to the Corona virus emergency, and to protect the health of our volunteers and customers, the Shop is temporarily closed. However, the Shop will re-open as soon as State and local authorities recommend the re-opening of all non-essential businesses. We will update this website (DMRSM.ORG or just Google Divine Mercy Religious Shop), and the Shop's phone message (585-352-5485), as soon as we know when we will be allowed to re-open.
The main reason we chose Divine Mercy as the name for the Shop, was to promote the message, specifically for our times, that Our Lord gave to St Faustina of His Love for us and His offer of Mercy for us, and the whole world, if we would only approach Him with loving humility and completely trust in Him. Our Lord gave St Faustina the Chaplet of Divine Mercy as a simple devotional way to request His Mercy. You can Google Divine Mercy Chaplet for more information about this devotion and for Youtube videos that you can pray along with. The Chaplet is also prayed during the 3 pm hour every day on local catholic radio stations 1460 AM and 92.9 FM. I would encourage you to consider praying this devotion daily to implore God's Mercy on our world, and those effected families, during this pandemic.
May God bless and keep you, and your families, and give you His Peace.
The Divine Mercy Chaplet is prayed using a rosary to keep track of the prayers as follows:
Crucifix=Make the sign of the cross.
1st Our Father Bead= say the following prayers:
1 time pray: 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.
3 times pray: O Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a font of
mercy for us, I trust in you!
1st Hail Mary Bead= pray 1 Our Father
2nd Hail Mary Bead= pray 1 Hail Mary
3rd Hail Mary Bead= pray the Apostles' Creed
On each of the next 5 decades pray the following prayers:
Our Father beads pray the following:
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.
Hail Mary beads pray the following:
For the sake of His (Jesus') sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole
world.
At the end of the 5th decade say the following prayers
3 times pray: Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us and on
the whole world.
1 time pray: Eternal God, in whom mercy is endless, and the treasury of compassion is 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.
