THE HOUR OF MERCY
Dear friends in the Lord, allow me share with you something on "THE HOUR OF MERCY"
On December 1937, our Lord Jesus Christ recommended to Sr. Faustina to honor the hour of mercy as the hour of His death: "...as often as you hear the clock strike the third hour, immerse yourself completely in my mercy, adoring and glorifying it; invoke its omnipotence for the whole world, and particularly for the poor sinners; for at that moment mercy was opened wide for every soul..."
The Lord Jesus also determined the prayers that are appropriate for this form of the divine mercy devotion: "...try your best to make the stations of the Cross in this hour, provided that your duties permit it; and if you are not able, then at least step into the chapel for a moment and adore, in the Blessed Sacrament, My Heart, which is full of mercy; and should you be unable to step into the chapel, immerse yourself in prayer there where you happen to be, if only a very brief instant..."
Christ Jesus assures us that in this hour, we can obtain everything for ourselves and others, it a an hour of grace to the world when mercy triumphed over justice.
