is the same. When this chaplet is said by the bedside of a dying person, divine anger is placated, an unfathomable mercy envelops the soul, and the very depths of My tender mercy are moved for the sake of the sorrowful Passion of My Son (811). Write that when they say this chaplet in the presence of the dying, I will stand between My Father and the dying person, not as the just Judge but as the merciful Savior. My daughter, encourage souls to say the chaplet which I have given to you. It pleases Me to grant everything they ask of Me by saying the chaplet. When hardened sinners say it, I will fill their souls with peace, and the hour of their death will be a happy one (1541). We may be surprised by the statement “divine anger is placated.” We must keep in mind that God does not hate us, His beloved children. But whatever cuts us off from Him, namely sin, causes a blindness and fear in us and makes us see God as being angry at us. Through the prayer of this chaplet “an unfathomable mercy envelops the soul” and changes its false perception about God’s attitude towards us. Saint Faustina wrote: “I realize more and more how much every soul needs God’s mercy throughout life and particularly at the hour of death. This chaplet mitigates God’s anger, as He Himself told me” (1036). The Chaplet was given by Jesus to be prayed for any and every intention, but he specifically emphasized its use on behalf of the dying. When a patient is dying, the nurse or doctor should entrust him/her to Jesus — The Divine Mercy, and begin praying The Divine Mercy Chaplet at the bedside, or wherever the nurse or doctor may be. The Chaplet can be prayed 26
