This chaplet consists of a Trinity Crucifix, Scapular center piece with 30 beads and is in the colors of the USA which also reflect the Father, Son, Holy Ghost and Our Lady. Each group includes the Trinity and Our Lady, hence the 4 beads. This pattern follows the first 4 beads for each group. The Pater's are in a deeper Royal blue because God is the King of the universe.

We begin with the Sign
of the Cross:
In the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
The Crucifix: The Creed
1. Our Father/Pater (clear bead - The Father's Love &
Mercy) - *not announced, just to inform and associate
bead colors
2. Fatima prayer (red bead
- Precious Blood of Jesus) *
3. Glory be (clear bead - The Spirit's Guidance & Power)
*
4. Hail Mary/Ave (light blue
bead - for Mary & obedience) *
5. Prayer for the most vulnerable
(red bead - Precious Blood of Jesus) *
"Merciful Lord, please protect and save the most vulnerable; the
unborn, disabled, sick, elderly and those that know not Your Love and
Mercy."
Then pray 5 groups of 4 beads preceded by a Pater:
(Dark blue bead) *
The first group begins left of the center piece
on the clear or white bead.
We announce & contemplate:
1st group: We consider the Father's great love for us and His Mercy
in giving us Jesus & the gift of Faith.
2nd group: We consider the Son's Perfect Sacrifice, His Passion,
Death and Resurection for our sins.
3rd group: We consider the Spirit's Mighty gifts, power and guidance
in our lives if we but ask.
4th group: We consider Our compassionate Mother's trust, love and
obedience, pleading for her intercession.
5th group: We consider and beg grace, safety and protection for
the most vulernable. Especially those that don't realize how much they
truly need God.
Each Group:
(1 Dark blue Pater and 4 Ave's: Clear bead, red
bead, clear bead and light blue bead)
1 Pater:
"Sweetest Jesus, for the sake of those that love You, by merit of
Your Holy Passion, lift not Your Protective Hand from us and please bless
the USA!"
4 Ave's: "Eternal God, united
to the Perfect & Holy Passion of Jesus, we offer You our joys, sorrows,
breaths, heartbeats and tears to strengthen the faithful, renew the lukewarm,
restore the fallen away and convert the proud."
On the chain before the Pater's: "Most loving Father, may
Your Will be done on earth as it is in heaven."
In Conclusion on the Scapular: "Merciful Father, Who's tender Love has no bounds, grant, in Your Goodness and Mercy that we always embrace Your Perfect Will in all things with a joyful heart. Please cover us with the Precious Blood of Jesus in which we trust and rely. Send the Holy Spirit to renew our souls and our land that it may bring You honor and glory and we may, once again, be a nation under God! Bring us daily closer to the Sacred & Immaculate Hearts and increase our Faith that we may always strengthen each other, in Jesus' Name. Amen."
