- The Lord Jesus gave Sister Faustina a promise that even the most hardened sinner, if he prays the Divine Mercy chaplet once, will receive grace at the hour of death. He later said that praying this chaplet for someone has the same effect as if that person had prayed it himself.
- There are already more than 8 billion people in the world. Our goal is that the chaplet will be prayed for everyone so we need millions of willing hearts to undertake this task.
- It’s hard to pray as many as 8 billion chaplets, so you can start by praying for the dying on any given day. It is about 160,000 people.
- The goal of the project is to convince people to say one chaplet for themselves at the beginning. However, for those who want to help others, this project is meant to serve as a tool. A tool to save all those dying on a given day, but not only. It’s also about saving other people. Those known and unknown, those more loved and liked, and those less so.
- The tool to achieve our mission for today is this website that presents the whole idea. Meanwhile, an app is also planned to streamline the use of the project and enable it to reach the farthest corners of the world.
- Adventure – is a bookmark containing a description and consideration of the clues that are to lead people to the Source of Mercy. Day by day, step by step.
- The application will consist of three layers:
Vessel – a prayer for the dying, drowning at sea, to whom it is necessary to throw a last resort that is to say the chaplet for everyone,
Tree – a leaf grows on the tree after each chaplet we recite for a particular person. We can create twigs, branches and branches in this way,
Network – consists of 144 billion elements, the task of the Network is to save people from drowning.
Origins
“Last resort.”
In 2013, my adventure with the Diary of Saint Sister Faustina Kowalska began. It took me about six months to read the entire diary, and this reading was sometimes interrupted by long meditations on the words that the Lord Jesus dictated to the humble nun. In this book I found many answers to spiritual questions that were bothering me. Answers that I was convinced at the time we would only know after death.
But in addition to this knowledge concerning God and man, I understood the main message of the Diary, and that is the immensity of God’s mercy. And also that God wants everyone to know about this His Mercy and Kindness and to use it as much and as often as possible. God is pleased when people draw from this source, and the source of this Mercy cannot be exhausted. The problem is that people draw too much they don’t want to, or don’t know how to. That’s why the Lord Jesus dictated to Sister Faustina ways, one could say an instruction manual on how to easily and effectively use this Mercy. These ways are tools that anyone can use and the promises associated with their use. In my mind, one of these promises in particular gave birth to a thought that has been maturing for 10 years, and now I have also matured to share it with the world.
The mainpromise on which the project was based.
In order to get a good understanding of what I want to talk about I will use a quote from the Diary of St. Joseph. Sister Faustina:
“At one moment, as I walked down the corridor to the kitchen – I heard in my soul these words: Recite constantly this chaplet that I have taught you. Whoever recites it will receive great mercy at the hour of death. Priests will
administer to sinners as a last resort; even though the sinner may be the most hardened, if he prays this chaplet once, he will receive grace from My infinite mercy. I want the whole world to know My mercy. I desire to grant incomprehensible graces to souls who trust in My mercy.” (Diary 687)
After reading these words I wanted to go out and shout to the whole world: people!!! everyone only needs one chaplet and they will be saved!!! This is the opportunity of a lifetime, a six in the totem pole is a pittance compared to this promise! After all, to refuse lace is so simple and short. We devote 10 minutes and Heaven is assured. Not like everything on earth only for life, that is, a dot on the world timeline. We have Heaven for all eternity! Why is there so little talk about it? At the time I couldn’t understand it, but today I see for myself that it also took me 10 years to get seriously involved in the mercy project. That’s who we are, “We stand behind closed doors,” as the amazing Agnieszka Kaluga, a blogger who once worked in a hospice, said about it at a TEDx talk.
Slow blossoming of the project
At the time, I did not drop everything, but prayed a chaplet for myself. I then began to pray for individuals, those in the family, friends and even strangers. But then it occurred to me that this is too small a scale. I wondered how to convey the information about the lace to others. So that all people on Earth; today it’s more than 8 billion have recited it for themselves at least once. I realized that this is rather impossible. That’s why I took a different approach.
160 000
I checked how many people in the world die every day. It turned out to be about 160,000 people according to worldometers.info. This already changes the character of things, this number does not scare as much as 8,000,000,000. But what is the point of those who die, after all, they will no longer say the chaplet for themselves, it is too late. This is where we come into action. We the living who can say the chaplet for one person who will die on any given day. It will complete its earthly journey and pass to the other side equipped with this salutary prayer. It takes 160,000 chaplets a day around the world to ensure that everyone who dies on any given day has a chaplet with them.
Is it possible to do this for someone?
Another question arose, does the chaplet have to be prayed in person? If you collude for someone, will it also work? Well, and again in the Diary I found the answer:
“When I entered my solitude – I heard these words: I defend every soul at the hour of death, as my glory, who will recite this chaplet, or by the dying others will recite it – yet the indulgence of the same is available to them. When (205) by the dying recite this chaplet, the wrath of God is appeased, and unfathomable mercy embraces the soul, and the bowels of My mercy are moved, for the sorrowful passion of My Son. Oh, if everyone knew how great is the mercy of the Lord, but how much we all need this mercy, and especially in this decisive hour.” (Diary 811)
Does it work?
One more uncertainty is practicality. A promise a promise but does it work? That’s why I’m posting here a recent excerpt confirming the effectiveness of the crown:
“On the second day it was already after twelve o’clock when I entered the room, I saw a person dying and learned that the agony had begun during the night. When I stated – it was at the time when I was asked to pray. Suddenly I heard a voice in my soul: Recite this chaplet I taught you. I ran to get the rosary and knelt by the dying woman, and began to recite the chaplet with all the fervor of my spirit. Suddenly the dying woman opened her eyes and looked at me, and I didn’t have time to pray the whole chaplet, and she was already dying with a strange calmness. I earnestly asked the Lord to fulfill the promise He had given me for praying this chaplet. He let me know that this soul had received the grace that the Lord had promised me. This soul was the first to experience the Lord’s promise. I felt the power of mercy envelop this soul.” (Diary 810)
Well, and we have the first winner, I don’t know if you noticed, but Sister Faustina didn’t even finish saying the chaplet. I wonder if at least half of it reached… It was enough, however, for God’s mercy to overwhelm the soul. Of course, let’s not match the Divine Mercy secretary, she just broke the bank time and time again. We rather focus on praying the entire Chaplet because it is a short prayer anyway. Now I had all the answers. It remained to find a way to tell the souls. How to encourage people to take advantage of this mega offer better even than the best Black Friday.
The solution I have decided on is a website and in the future an app.
