Prayer to the Lord of Mercy
When we talk about Mercy in Christianity, there are three things that are directly related to it: the image of Divine Mercy, the Chaplet of Divine Mercy and the Hour of Mercy.
We will talk about all of them in this article, but first we begin with the image of the Divine Mercy or also known as Señor de la Misericordia (Lord of Mercy). The devotion to this representation of Mercy comes from the vision that the nun Faustina Kowalska had in the 20th century, which corresponded to the following image:
In it, Jesus appears emitting red and white light of his heart, making Mercy one of the pillars of the values of Christianity. Thus, the importance of this image allows us to pray precious prayers such as the following:
O God, whose Mercy is infinite and whose treasures of compassion are limitless. Look upon us with Thy favor and increase Thy Mercy within us, that in our great anxieties we may not despair, but always, with great confidence, be conformed to Thy Holy Will, which is identical with Thy Mercy.
Through Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of Mercy who with you and the Holy Spirit manifests Mercy to us forever.
Amen
Prayer to Jesus of Mercy to ask for a favor
Surely you have often felt the need to ask the Lord for a favor, even if our insignificance makes you feel you shouldn’t do it. God’s mercy allows us to ask Him for favors as long as we fulfill our Christian obligations.
With this prayer, you can ask a favor to Jesus of Mercy to intercede for you and fulfill your desires. We hope you like it!
O Jesus of great mercy and infinite goodness, from our deepest humility we implore today Thy mercy, Thy compassion, O God;
Go forth with Your grace and with Your continued expression of Your mercy in each one of us, that we may faithfully come to fulfill Your holy will, throughout our lives and at the hour of our departure from this world.
May the omnipotence of your mercy shield us from the arrows that the enemies of salvation may hurl, so that with confidence, as your children, we may await the last coming. And we hope to get what Jesus promised us in spite of our stinginess.
For Jesus is our hope: through his merciful Heart, as in the Kingdom of Heaven.

How to pray the Rosary of Mercy
After seeing what the Jesus of Mercy is, we are going to explain to you what it is the Chaplet of the Divine Mercy and what you can do to pray with it following the correct steps and without making mistakes.
The Chaplet of Divine Mercy or also known as the Rosary of Mercy is a set of prayers that are usually prayed with a rosary, although it is not strictly necessary.
The steps to pray correctly with the Rosary of Mercy are as follows. Before you start, you have to make the Sign of the Cross and then recite the Our Father, Hail Mary and the Creed in the same order.
For the major grains of the rosary, where the Lord’s Prayer would normally be said, the following prayer should be enacted:
Eternal Father,
I offer you
the Body, the Blood,
Soul and Divinity
of Your most beloved Son,
Our Lord Jesus Christ,
as propitiation
of our sins
and those of the entire world.
In the smaller grains where the Hail Mary would go, recite the words you will see below:
For His painful Passion,
have mercy on us
and the whole world.
When you get to the end of the chaplet, you can’t forget to mention three times in a row the final words that will culminate your recitation of the Rosary of Mercy:
Holy God,
Santo Fuerte,
Immortal Saint,
have mercy on us
and the whole world.

3:00 p.m. Prayer
To conclude today’s prayers, let’s teach you what is the hour of mercy and why it is so important for many Christians.
As the Gospels say, Jesus was crucified at the ninth hour after sunrise, which in today’s clocks corresponds to 3 o’clock in the afternoon:
“When it was about the sixth hour, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour. ” (Luke 23:44)
Thus, this hour acquires a very great importance in our religion, especially as regards Mercy. Jesus gave his life to save humanity, this being the greatest act of Mercy ever seen in history.
Thus, three o’clock in the afternoon (15h) has become a unique hour that even deserves its own prayers designed for that very moment. In Your Online Bible we want you to know one of them and for this reason we leave it here:
O Jesus stretched out on the cross, I beg you to grant me the grace to faithfully carry out your Father’s most holy will in all things, always and everywhere. And when this will seems to me heavy and difficult to fulfill, it is then that I pray to You, Jesus, that from Your wounds may flow upon me strength and fortitude and that my lips may constantly repeat: Your will be done, Lord.
O Savior of the world, Lover of human salvation, amidst terrible torments and pain, you forgot yourself to think only of the salvation of souls. Most Compassionate Jesus, grant me the grace to forget myself so that I may live totally for souls, helping You in the work of salvation, according to the most holy will of Your Father.
Amen
These have been the prayers we wanted to teach you today about God’s Mercy, so that His love may invade your whole body and heart. Remember that prayer is the way to follow in the footsteps of Jesus and have a spiritually fulfilled life that leads to salvation.
Act with love in your daily life and transmit Divine Mercy to the people you live with. We are all children of God and deserve to know the goodness of Our Lord.
