How The Divine Mercy Chaplet Can Help Your Fallen-Away Loved Ones

Today Jesus said to me, 

I desire that you know more profoundly the love that burns in My Heart for souls, and you will understand this when you meditate upon My Passion.

Call upon My mercy on behalf of sinners; I desire their salvation. When you say this prayer, with a contrite heart and with faith on behalf of some sinner, I will give him the grace of conversion.

This is the prayer: 

“O Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a fount of Mercy for us, I trust in You.”

(Diary, 186, 187).none

O Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a fount of mercy for us, I trust in You!

This prayer is said at the opening prayer of The Chaplet. During this moment, think about your loved-ones reversion or conversion back to our faith. Jesus, promises the grace of their conversion.

As what Father Chris Alar from thedivinemercy.org reminds, that even if we do NOT see their conversion during our lifetime, our prayers will count even up to the moment of their judgement. So, do not give up hope if you do not see any changes.
