Out of the Wounds of Christ was born the Chaplet of Divine Mercy |
Divine Mercy Chaplet was born out of the Wounds of Christ because with the chaplet, the Lord has given us His wounds to offer to the Father for all our needs including the power to save a dying soul on its way to perdition, One who has failed to seek God’s mercy in his life and is incapable of doing so on his dying bed. So dying the soul is redeemed through the recitation of the Chaplet and by inspiring God’s love and mercy goes into the next life with Jesus.
Our Saviour could have redeemed the world for the sins of man with one word, with one prayer to the Father. He could have appeased justice through the Incarnation itself, even saving man from sin through an act of perfect sorrow. However, such satisfaction would not externally reveal the evil of sin in the world and the infinite power of God's Mercy in its remission.
For this reason, He took on His life so many pains, so much suffering especially in His passion and death in which He accepted a boundless amount of suffering, the extent of which was manifested through His wounds, remaining even in His glorified body after the resurrection.
Through this Chaplet Our Lord wanted to inspire our souls to an ardent and constant recitation of the prayer and show a continuing life long demonstration of our belief in what He suffered and died for. He desires to inflame our hearts with the depth of His sufferings, and through the Chaplet, awaken in us a fire of boundless trust in His mercy.
He wanted to show us the infinite evil of our transgressions, as though He were saying through His wounds to everyone, ask ceaselessly for the mercy of God.
