Three O'clock Prayer to Divine Mercy

The Hour of Great Mercy

Jesus, King of Mercy

You expired, O Jesus, but the source of life gushed forth for souls and an ocean of mercy 

opened up for the whole world. O Fount of Life, unfathomable Divine Mercy, 

envelop the whole world and empty Yourself out upon us. 

(recite one time)

O Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a fount of mercy for us, 

I trust in You. Amen 

(recite three times)

St.Faustina's diary states:

At three o’clock, implore My mercy, especially for sinners; and, if only for a brief moment, immerse yourself in My Passion, particularly in My abandonment at the moment of agony. This is the hour of great mercy. In this hour, I will refuse nothing to the soul that makes a request of Me in virtue of My Passion. (Diary, 1320)

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 poor sinners; for at that moment mercy was opened wide for every soul. In this hour you can obtain everything for yourself and for others for the asking; it was the hour of grace for the whole world — mercy triumphed over justice. (Diary, 1572)

My daughter, 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 to make the Stations of the Cross, then at least step into the chapel for a moment and adore, in the Most 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 for a very brief instant. (Diary, 1572)
