A special prayer of Russ’s - The Closing prayer of the Chaplet of Divine Mercy:

‘Oh Holy and Eternal God, in whom mercy is endless and the treasury of compassion inexhaustible, increase Your mercy in us that in difficult moments we may not despair nor become despondent, but with great confidence submit ourselves to Your Holy Will which is love and mercy itself.’
