Using regular rosary beads: Begin with the Sign of the Cross, 1 Our Father, 1 Hail Mary and The Apostles Creed.
Then on the Our Father Beads say the following: “Eternal Father, I offer You the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Your dearly beloved Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, in atonement for our sins and those of the whole world.”
On the 10 Hail Mary Beads say the following: “For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world.” (Repeat for all five decades).
Conclude with (three times): “Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us and on the whole world.”

+"Your task is to write down everything that I make known to you about MY MERCY, for the benefit of those who by reading these things will be comforted in their souls and will have courage to approach ME." (Diary of St. Faustina, 1693).
The Interior Life
I asked the Lord today that He might deign to teach me about the interior life, because of myself I can neither understand nor conceive anything perfectly. The Lord answered me,
+"I was your Teacher; I am and I will be;
strive to make your heart like unto My humble and gentle heart.
Never claim your rights.
Bear with great calm and patience everything that befalls you.
Do not defend yourself when you are put to shame, though innocent.
Let others triumph.
Do not stop being good when you notice that your goodness is being abused.
I Myself will speak up for you when it is necessary.
Be grateful for the smallest of My graces, because your gratitude compels Me to grant you more graces." (1701).
