Chaplet of the Holy Name
The Chaplet is prayed on a 33 bead chaplet (3 decades of 1 large bead followed by ten small beads).
To pray the Chaplet of the Holy Name:
Make an Act of Contrition (Say this prayer earnestly):
O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee and I detest all my sins because of Thy just punishments, but most of all because they offend Thee, my God, who art all good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve, with the help of Thy grace, to sin no more and avoid the near occasions of sin.
Amen.
And pray:
Incline unto my aid, O God. O Lord, make haste to help me.
First Decade:
On the first large bead:
Lord, Thou hast said: "Ask and ye shall receive; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall
be opened unto you," I seek, I knock, I ask this favor [name your intention].
On each of the first group of ten small beads:
Incline unto my aid, O God. O Lord, make haste to help me.
Second Decade:
On the second large bead:
"Amen, I say unto you, if ye ask the Father anything in My Name it shall be given unto you." It is of the Father and in Thy Name, Lord, I ask this favor.
On each of the second group of 10 small beads:
Incline unto my aid, O God. O Lord, make haste to help me.
Third Decade:
On the third large bead:
Lord, Thou hast said: "Heaven and earth shall pass away, but My Word shall not pass away," Thou wilt grant me this favor because Thou hast said it and Thy word is true.
On each of the third group of 10 small beads:
Incline unto my aid, O God. O Lord, make haste to help me.
