All of Your ways are peace, all of Your ways are peace.
Though we are pressed on every side, we trust that You are peace.
All of Your ways are true, all of Your ways are true.
Though we have heard so many lies, we trust Your words are true.
All of Your ways are just, all of Your ways are just.
Though we may say it through our tears, we trust that You are just.
All of Your ways are peace (x4)

Chaplet of Divine Mercy
Opening Prayers (all): You expired, Jesus, but the source of life gushed forth for souls, and the ocean of mercy opened up for the whole world.
O Fount of Life, unfathomable Divine Mercy, envelop the whole world and empty Yourself out upon us.
O Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a fount of mercy for us, I trust in You! (Said three times)
Our Father ...
Hail Mary ...
The Apostles’ Creed: I believe in God, the Father almighty, Creator of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died and was buried;
He descended into hell;
on the third day He rose again from the dead;
He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty;
from there He will come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting.
Amen.

All: have mercy on us and on the whole world.
After Five Decades :

Closing prayer (all):
Eternal God, in whom mercy is endless and the treasury of compassion inexhaustible, look kindly upon us and increase Your mercy in us, that in difficult moments we might not despair nor become despondent, but with great confidence submit ourselves to Your holy will, which is Love and Mercy itself
