The mystery of the Holy Trinity: How God can be both three Persons and still one God? It is a meditation worthy of our time and energy. The traditional instruction says that the chaplet should be prayed through the Five Sacred Wounds of Our Lord in reparation for the crimes of sinners.

As an optional assistance, there have been added, Scripture meditations for each decade of this chaplet. They are not part of the traditional prayers, but can be found at the end of the prayers.

Prayers:

Introductory Prayer on the crucifix:

Incline unto mine aid, O God, O Lord make haste to help me.

On the first four beads above the crucifix (1 large, 3 small) say:

Glory be to Thee, O most sweet, most noble, resplendent, peaceful, ineffable Trinity. Amen.

There are no traditional prayers for the divider beads, but if you are using the meditations, announce them at the large bead preceding each decade.

On each of the ten prayer beads for each decade, say:

Glory, honour and praise be to the great Eternal God. Amen.

Following each decade say the Glory Be.
