Question / Issue:

"Every day at 3 p.m. I say the chaplet of Divine Mercy. During Lent, is it omitted?"

Answer / Resources:

[click link(s) below, as applicable]

First, note that it is traditional for Catholics to recite the Lord's Prayer each day at 3:00 p.m., the hour of Christ's death. Those who are devotees of Faustina's 'Divine Mercy' devotion may instead supplant the Lord's Prayer given to us by Jesus Christ in Holy Scripture with Faustina's prayer(s) based on her alleged private revelations. [Tradition-minded Catholics, however, may avoid this 'questionable devotion' as Faustina – who admits her body smelled like a corpse (in contrast to other saints who emitted pleasant fragrances) – is known for a diary which contains factual errors, contradictions, unfulfilled prophecies, and theological issues. For more information on issues with respect to Faustina's 'Divine Mercy' devotion, please try the "What's Up With Faustina's Divine Mercy Devotion?" publications (see here for links).]

Given the many concerns regarding Faustina's 'Divine Mercy' devotion, my opinion is that it is best to use the Rosary beads for what they are intended for – the Holy Rosary! – rather than use them for prayers associated with a novel devotion that was forbidden prior to the Second Vatican Council. Wouldn't it be preferable to instead pray the daily rosary as Our Lady has requested and have a strong devotion to the Sacred Heart?

However, those who wish to participate in the 'Divine Mercy' devotion would not omit the prayers, especially during Lent.
