Hour Of Mercy

 August 2, 2024

Verse of the day - Matthew 5:7 (NRSV)

Blessed are the merciful, for they will receive mercy.

In chapter 2 of my third book, Jesus speaks to us about the hour that He gave His life over for the sins of the world.

Excerpt from Come To The Cross

At the three o'clock hour in the afternoon, I gave over My life to My Father in Heaven for the sins of the world.  It was a very dark day.  The Son Of God was crucified for the sins of mankind.  I was the Unblemished Lamb that was slain.  I sacrificed Myself unselfishly so that one day My dear children who believe in Me may join Me in Paradise.  I am He of whom John spoke about in the desert.  

The three o'clock hour in the afternoon is the hour of Divine Mercy because that was the hour Jesus died on the cross for the sins of the world.  The Sunday after Easter is known as Divine Mercy Sunday.  On this day, one year when I went to the Divine Mercy Service, I had an experience that touched me deeply.  I closed my eyes as the Divine Mercy Chaplet was being sung.  I was unable to keep my eyes closed because Jesus was allowing me to see Him suffering on the cross for the sins of the world. I saw His Precious Blood being poured out.  Even though I only caught a glimpse of what Jesus experienced as He suffered and died upon the cross, it was too much for me to handle.
