Sr. Mary Joe CSN
Jesus revealed to FaustinaKowalska that 3:00 pm is the ‘Hour of Great Mercy’. 3:00 pm is honored as the moment one of the soldiers pierced the heart of Jesus, causing an outpour of blood and water. To these Rays of Mercy that flowed from Jesus’ heart, let us remember everyday to flock to at 3:00’o clock. When we ‘honor the hour’ Jesus is happy and he pours out his mercy upon us. ‘Mercy’ means love and forgiveness, even if we don’t deserve it.
What would you be mostly doing at 3:00 pm? Maybe attending classes in school or playing with your friends or watching a movie. Decide today that no matter where you are or what you are doing, you will honor the hour. When the clock strikes three, stay still for a while, and in the depths of your heart visualize you are standing at the foot of the cross with Mother Mary. The two of you are gazing at the Crucified Jesus. May the Blood and Water that flows from his heart touch you. Give him all your deepest desires and ask for his mercy – pray for your family to be blessed, pray that you do well in your studies, pray that you are able to discover and develop your talents, pray for help to grow in virtues and values, pray for your friends, pray for everybody in the whole wide world to be blessed. Let His Rays of Mercy Shine!
Tell your friends about 3:00 pm. Remind each other when it is 3:00 pm. Let us honor the hour…the ‘Hour of Great Mercy’!
To the foot of the Cross lets flock to at 3:00’clock
