My Chaplet of Divine Mercy

My Chaplet of Divine Mercy is a simple, prayerful way to pray the Chaplet of Divine Mercy on your phone. It walks you through the chaplet step by step, the way Our Lord taught it to St. Faustina.

A picture of prayer beads fills in as you go, so you always know which decade you’re on and can keep your mind on the prayer. There is an audio version of the whole chaplet to pray along with, a counter for the chaplets you’ve prayed, the Divine Mercy Novena with its intention for each of the nine days, a short explanation of the devotion, and light and dark themes.

What I like is how quiet it is. There are no feeds or extras competing for your attention, just the prayer. That suits the chaplet, which is best prayed slowly, and it makes the app a good companion at three o’clock, the Hour of Mercy.

It’s good for anyone learning the chaplet, for praying the Divine Mercy Novena before Divine Mercy Sunday, and for families who want to pray it together with the audio.

It does one devotion only, so it isn’t a general prayer book. The developer, Maria Chua, makes a small family of simple Catholic prayer apps, including My Stations of the Cross and Reflections on Divine Mercy, and keeps them up to date.

It’s free, from Maria Chua. A simple, faithful way to make the Divine Mercy Chaplet part of your day.
