The Hour of Mercy
Part ll
The Hour of Mercy is a time of infinite possibilities
because Mercy can do all things.
Meanwhile, humanity continues to be indifferent.
Christ gives us the best of what exists in the Universe, and what do we do with these Graces?
We do not take advantage of them, Friar, even His most dedicated disciples.
In the same way, we place the innumerable practical needs and responsibilities
before the spiritual needs and responsibilities that humanity and our planet experience.
Christ sees all those things, and in a message He tells us:
"The infinite Graces that I pour out every day, at three o'clock in the afternoon,
are not fully taken into consideration by some souls
at the time that those graces are poured out.
It is similar to the loss of water in a river."
For this reason, He calls us to not only pay attention
to the time of Mercy as something special and important,
but to also become guardians and soldiers faithful to the Hour of Mercy.
"I call on you to be faithful defenders of the Hour of My Divine Mercy.
If this is done, in spite of circumstances and unforeseen contingencies,
I would be able to say that I can count on soldiers of Mercy."
In the Communities where we live, at three p.m., all the bells ring,
thus reminding the soldiers of Mercy that the hour has come.
So the bells invite us to close our eyes
and imagine that we are the foot of the holy cross.
At that most important moment in the spiritual history of this humanity:
the moment of liberation,
the moment in which Christ, because of love,
liberated us from evil and from slavery.
What can we do at this special universal conjunction?
Christ tells Saint Faustina:
"My Child, at that hour try to study the Via Crucis, while your duties allow it.
And if you are unable to pray the Via Crucis, at least enter for a moment in the chapel
and in the Most Holy Sacrament adore My Heart, which is full of Mercy.
And if you are unable to enter the chapel, fall into prayer wherever you are,
even if for a brief moment."
He is trying to broaden our devotion to His Infinite Mercy,
and He has asked even more of us in these times.
In His daily messages, Christ has asked many times for us,
at the hour of Mercy, to pray the Chaplet of Divine Mercy.
In this way, we announce a very concrete first period,
a prayer of the heart to Divine Mercy.
He also asked for something more.
He increased other requests for prayer that can be done at that hour.
For example, the Devotional to the Powerful Blood of Jesus,
the Devotional to the five Sacred Wounds,
the Rosary to the Seven Agonies of Jesus,
the Rosary to the Tears of Jesus.
Now He has made a special request so that we may prepare for this Sacred Hour,
and He makes that request at two points.
"I ask that, in your homes, among your families, and among your most loved ones,
you offer a special devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and to the Merciful Christ.
Do this for 15 minutes before the Hour of Divine Mercy.
Today I ask that every day, before three p.m.,
you re-read the last message that has been published,
for in humility you will understand what I ask for daily."
Within the disseminated teachings based on the work of Saint Faustina,
the time of Mercy begins at the moment in which the clock registers three in the afternoon.
There is no indication that says it should last an hour, that is to say, 60 minutes.
But in His daily messages, Christ Jesus brought us up-to-date on this, telling us the following:
"Between three and four p.m. each day,
My Eucharistic Heart is radiated to the most distant spheres of the Earth,
where a soul may exist that is crying out for My Mercy."
Do we know the power of Mercy?
Do we understand what the possibilities are that It contains? Do we believe in that?
Lastly, when our heart has united with Christ,
He is able to triumph over the evil of this world.
On that day on which that took place, He tells us the following:
"Today My Priestly, Universal, and Planetary Consciousness
interceded for the broken spirit of humanity, and during the Hour of Mercy,
the portals of liberation removed the souls
that where in a condition to be redeemed and forgiven.
My Love for you, which is infinite, restored all that was damaged, and once again,
My immeasurable Mercy gained Its victory on Earth."
To bring this reflection to a close, we want to leave you with the following words of Our Lord:
"Through merciful prayer at three in the afternoon, day by day,
I come so that, through My Precious Blood,
your hearts, and the hearts of the whole world are washed of all stain.
I come at three in the afternoon
to purify your souls of desires and self-love through My Water.
I also come at three in the afternoon so that, through My Soul,
I unite that which the enemy cleverly separates from Mine
and which I call love of the heart.
For this reason, at three in the afternoon, it is your task to make an effort so that,
through love and redemption, you receive the merits of My Glory and of My Resurrection.
I invite you to spiritually avail yourselves of the Gifts of My Heart,
and to find in these a quick way out from this material world.
Unite with Me, in spite of all the circumstances,
and be good instruments for My Hands,
for now is the time for giving up what is past
and the hour for renewing yourselves through the presence of My Spirit.
Those that proclaim the Hour of My Mercy as important
will be satiated by My Love
and will drink with Me from the chalice of reparation of the coming time.
Supreme existence of humble love,
Supreme consciousness of universal Creation,
descend with Your Immaculate spirit
and incarnate now in this little heart,
so that Your selfless purpose
may be fulfilled in the mission that you have entrusted to me.
Erase from my heart all arrogance,
wash my soul of all stain,
and dissolve with Your divine light
all debts in my consciousness,
because free from myself
I will be able to help You, beloved Father,
to fulfill Your infinite Will in all that has been manifested.
Unite me with the spirit of humility,
consecrate me to the essence of Your Truth,
raise me up to Your Kingdom,
so that this being, manifested by Your Origin,
may with Your Angels fulfill
the purpose of the glorious coming of Christ.
Amen
