Every day in Poland, an average of more than 1,000 people pass away. Globally, at any given moment, countless individuals require not only medical assistance but, more importantly, spiritual support. This spiritual care is crucial in the final hours as individuals transition from this world to eternity. The Congregation of the Sisters of Our Lady of Mercy runs the Chaplet for the Dying initiative, offering swift assistance—sometimes within 20 seconds—through mobile and Internet communications. This aid is facilitated by individuals who participate through prayer or financial support.  This year, volunteers from 40 countries have pledged their support, but more are needed to urgently provide prayers for those in their final moments.

The sisters warmly invite you to join this meaningful work of mercy and assure you of their prayers. The next Mass dedicated to this cause, praying for a serene death for the dying and eternal joy for the departed, will be celebrated on August 20 at 5 p.m. at the Shrine of the Divine Mercy in Krakow-Łagiewniki, in front of the renowned image of the Merciful Jesus and at the tomb of St. Faustina.
