A chaplet is a short, repeated prayer — usually prayed on a set of beads, much like the Rosary — that lets you enter into a specific devotion one bead at a time. If you’ve never prayed one before, don’t worry about getting the words exactly right on your first try. The repetition itself is part of the gift: it quiets the mind and lets your heart settle into the prayer, rather than needing your full concentration on every phrase.
You’ll find a range of chaplets here, from the Divine Mercy Chaplet to devotions honoring specific saints and mysteries of the faith. Looking for prayers for the Holy Souls in Purgatory specifically?

New to praying with beads? You don’t need a special set — a chaplet can be prayed on your fingers, a knotted cord, or simply by counting in your head. What matters isn’t the object in your hand, it’s the intention behind each repetition. Pick one chaplet below, read through it slowly the first time, and let it become part of your regular prayer life. Many people find a particular chaplet becomes a lifelong companion, prayed the same way, week after week, for years.
