Interactive Chaplet Instructions

When you enter the Interactive Divine Mercy Chaplet page, you will see several crosses layed out in rows next to a picture of the Divine Mercy Image. These crosses correspond to the rosary beads that you would usually use. They are laid out as follows:

The first row, containing three crosses, are the introductory prayers of the Our Father, Hail Mary, and Apostle's Creed. The next five rows, consisting of a cross set off by itself, followed by ten crosses, represents the five decades of the Chaplet. The last row, consisting of three crosses, is for the "Holy God" prayer, which is prayed three times consecutively.

When you place your mouse pointer over one of the crosses, it will begin to move, giving you a visual cue as to where you are in the Chaplet. You will notice that the mouse pointer changes from an arrow to a hand. If you click on any of the crosses, you will be taken down the page to a section that explains how to pray and/or sing the Divine Mercy Chaplet.

Sheet music, in Adobe Acrobat "pdf" format, is provided for each of the main Chaplet sections. To view the sheet music, you will need to have the free Adobe Acrobat reader.

To go back to the Interactive Chaplet after viewing the prayers, use the link that is provided, rather than using the "back button" on your mouse (this only applies if you already have music playing). If you use your mouse button to go back, it will reload the page and stop playing the music. Using the provided link allows the music to continue playing.

The music is in MIDI format, so you must have either a plugin or external program that will play the music. The most common MIDI player is the Microsoft Media Player that is provided with Windows. Newer browsers have builtin support for MIDI.
