Welcome back to The Chaplet of Divine Mercy. I'm Ed Morrissey, filling in for Drew today, and we are taking your prayer requests right now at 888-914-9149, 888-914-9149.
And if you want to give us a call, you can join us on air to pray your intentions along with praying for ours.
If you don't want to be on the air, you can also just tell the call screener that you don't want to be on the air, you want to pass along your prayer intentions. You can also go to relevantradio.com/pray to pass along your prayer intentions. And that's true 24-7. There's always somebody here to pray for you. So relevantradio.com/pray. And for this show, of course, for The Chaplet of Divine Mercy, you can also go to X slash Twitter, our account for The Drew Mariani Show. It's easy. Drew Mariani Show, at Drew Mariani Show. And we are looking forward to having you join us. And I'm looking forward to talking with our producer, Nick, to pray The Chaplet of Divine Mercy. I think, Nick, you're going to be my partner for today, right?

**Nick** (1:33)
Thanks, Ed. Yeah, happy to be here.

**Ed Morrissey** (1:35)
Well, it's great to have you here. I know that you always participate by gathering the petitions from our social media streams and the website. But now we get to have you for the entire Chaplet, which is really nice. Do you have any special prayer intentions for today?

**Nick** (1:51)
I do, Ed. Yeah. So Drew's former producer, Jake, asked us to pray today for his mother-in-law, his wife, Cathy's mom, Anne, who had a stroke on Saturday morning.
So she's in the hospital, Jake said, and we'll hopefully start onpatient rehab in a few days. So prayers for her. And Jake is also asking prayers for Cathy's grandma, also named Anne, who is 102 years old and close to death. So prayer for a peaceful repose of her soul when she's nearing death. But 102 years old, wow, what a life.

**Ed Morrissey** (2:28)
That's that's that's a life. Yeah, that's God bless her. And I hope that she's at peace and pray for that as well. I have a couple of prayer intentions. I just want to pray for a friend of mine at our parish who is, I believe, still in the hospital, hopefully recovering well. We'll be back with us soon. He's a good friend and somebody I am in ministry with. And again, pray for my wife who's a huge prayer warrior.
She's always praying the Chaplet of Divine Mercy with Drew and the entire Relevant Radio community. And so she's listening now, making sure that I do this right, Nick.

**Nick** (3:15)
Quality control check.

**Ed Morrissey** (3:16)
Quality control, absolutely quality control. She's probably in there right now.
I guess that I said that, but no, she's lovely. And she is such a prayer warrior for not just for me and but for everybody that we know. And so I share those prayers and prayers of all the faithful of St. Jerome Parish here. And we'll just join with that. And honestly, prayer of thanksgiving for being able to do this while I'm filling in for Drew because it is such a it's such a humbling experience and and such a great way to feel connected to all the people who are listening out there. And I just want to thank everybody who's calling in or who will call in, who have called in while I've been guest hosting. So big prayer of thanksgiving for that. With that, let's begin in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

**Nick** (4:13)
Amen.

**Ed Morrissey** (4:14)
You expired Jesus, but the source of life gushed forth for souls and the ocean of mercy opened up for the whole world. Oh, fount of life, unfathomable divine mercy, envelop the whole world and empty yourself out upon us.
Oh, blood and water, which gushed forth from the heart of Jesus as a fount of mercy for us.

**Nick** (4:35)
I trust in you.

**Ed Morrissey** (4:36)
Oh, blood and water, which gushed forth from the heart of Jesus as a fount of mercy for us.

**Nick** (4:41)
I trust in you.

**Ed Morrissey** (4:43)
Oh, blood and water, which gushed forth from the heart of Jesus as a fount of mercy for us.

**Nick** (4:47)
I trust in you.

**Ed Morrissey** (4:49)
Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
