It is often referred to as the Holy Rosary by Catholics. “The Church has always recognized a particular efficacy to the Rosary, entrusting to it, through its communal recitation and constant practice, the most difficult causes”; St. John Paul II said, ”Through the Rosary the faithful receive abundant graces, from the very hands of the Mother of the Redeemer.” DIVINE MERCY: We learn to know the merciful love of God towards every man only thanks to Revelation. It is God Himself who tells us about His mercy from the first words of Holy Scripture. In our times, we are reminded of this truth through the Message transmitted by St. Faustina and the teaching of Pope John Paul II. The Chaplet of the Divine Mercy, also called the Divine Mercy Chaplet, is a Christian devotion to the Divine Mercy, based on the Christological apparitions of Jesus reported by Saint Faustina Kowalska (1905–1938).
