The term Chaplet is used commonly to designate
Roman Catholic prayer forms which use
prayer beads, but are not necessarily related to the
Rosary. Some of these chaplets have a strong
Marian connotation, others are more directly related to
Jesus or the
Saints. Chaplets are considered "personal devotionals," and there is no set form and therefore they vary considerably. Often they have fewer beads than a traditional Rosary, and a different set of prayers. Common Chaplets include:
Chaplet of Divine Mercy, using ordinary rosary beads of five decades.Chaplet of the
Infant Jesus, made up of three and twelve beads.Chaplet of the
Sacred Heart, consisting of 33 small beads, 6 large beads, a centerpiece, a Crucifix and a Sacred Heart Medal.Chaplet of the Holy Face, to honor the Five Wounds of Jesus Christ, composed of a cross and six large beads and thirty-three small.Chaplet of the
