Pray and Color: Beautiful Divine Mercy Chaplet Resources for Your Classroom
If you’re still in school and need a quiet activity, I have the perfect new resource for you! The Divine Mercy Chaplet Prayer & Coloring Pages. This 3-page resource is perfect to guide students in praying the Divine Mercy Chaplet.
Students can use the instructions page to pray the Chaplet and follow along with the words of the prayer. The next 2 pages are coloring pages that can be used for bulletin boards, activities, notebook covers, and calming meditation. When my students pray the chaplet, I like to offer a coloring page students can keep their hands busy while their minds are focused on God. The first coloring page says, “For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world.”
The second coloring page is Saint Faustina’s Prayer for Sinners as a part of the Divine Mercy Chaplet. I had never read through this prayer until recently, and WOW, this is a BEAUTIFUL prayer! The language of the prayer would be great for a close reading activity. The vocabulary, symbolism, and imagery in the prayer is challenging and gorgeous.
If you’ve used these in your own classroom, I’d love to hear how they worked for you! Let me know in the comments, and if you’re curious about how I lead class prayer, I’ve shared more details in a blog post linked HERE.
