Third Day
Easter Sunday



Opening Prayer


  

"Today bring to Me all Devout and Faithful Souls, and immerse them in the ocean of My mercy. These souls brought me consolation on the Way of the Cross. They were a drop of consolation in the midst of an ocean of bitterness."

Most Merciful Jesus, from the treasury of Your mercy, You impart Your graces in great abundance to each and all. Receive us into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart and never let us escape from It. We beg this grace of You by that most wondrous love for the heavenly Father with which Your Heart burns so fiercely.

Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon faithful souls, as upon the inheritance of Your Son. For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, grant them Your blessing and surround them with Your constant protection. Thus may they never fail in love or lose the treasure of the holy faith, but rather, with all the hosts of Angels and Saints, may they glorify Your boundless mercy for endless ages. Amen.

Apostles Creed

Hail Mary

Our Father

V: Eternal Father, I offer Thee the body and blood, soul and divinity of Your dearly bevolved Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ...
R: ...in atonement for our sins and those of the whole World.

Following the beads of the rosary, repeat the following ten times:

V: For the sake of His sorrowful passion,
R: Have mercy on us and on the whole world

Instead of the 'Glory Be' at the end of the decade, say:

V: Eternal Father, I offer Thee the body and blood....

At the end of the 5 decades say the following three times:

V: Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One
R: Have mercy on us and on the whole world
