Do any non-Catholics ever pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet, or ever hear of it? It is a wonderful way to pray a different way with the Rosary. It starts like this:

On the crucifix, you say:
The Creed, then a Hail Mary, then an Our Father.
At the beginning of the ten beads, you say:
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.
Then on the following 10 beads you say:
FOR THE SAKE OF HIS SORROWFUL PASSION, HAVE MERCY ON US AND ON THE WHOLE WORLD. Say it on all 10 beads. When you get to the single bead, you repeat above: ETERNAL FATHER..etc..at the end you say:
HOLY GOD, HOLY MIGHTY ONE, HOLY IMMORTAL ONE, HAVE MERCY ON US, AND ON THE WHOLE WORLD. You repeat the Holy, Holy 3 times.

This is often said in front of the Blessed Sacrament when it is exposed in Adoration of Jesus.

I have listened to and memorized the Divine Mercy as a former & potential Catholic convert.

It's a beautiful song.

I think it's beautiful also. I often listened to it on EWTN, though I haven't in several years!

I pray it sometimes, but I used to be Catholic and loved it back then. It's one of the few Catholic devotions I had that carried over into my Orthodox life.
