Prayer at the Hour of Mercy (Stations of the Cross) | March 19, 2022

Every Saturday of Lent at 3:00pm the Sisters of Our Lady of Mercy invite us to pray the Stations of the Cross.

As the Lord Jesus said to St. Faustina - “At three o’clock implore My mercy, especially for sinners; and, if only for a brief moment, immerse yourself in My Passion (...)” (Diary 1320) - the subject matter of the Prayer at the Hour of Mercy is the mystery of the Passion of Our Lord. He himself encouraged us through St. Faustina to pray the Stations at 3:00pm, if possible (see “Diary”, 1572).

During Lent we are especially invited to spend more time in prayer. Let us spend more time with Jesus meditating on His Passion on Saturdays at 3:00pm. The Chaplet of Divine Mercy can be said in a different moment during the day.

A Prayer for World Peace by Saint John Paul II:

“O God, Creator of the universe, / Who extends Your paternal concern over every creature / and guides the events of history to the goal of salvation, / We acknowledge Your fatherly love / when You break the resistance of mankind / and, in a world torn by strife and discord, /You make us ready for reconciliation. / Renew for us the wonders of Your mercy: / send forth Your Spirit / that He may work in the intimacy of hearts; / that enemies may begin to dialogue; / that adversaries may shake hands / and peoples may encounter one another in harmony. / May all commit themselves to the sincere search for true peace / which will extinguish all arguments, / for charity which overcomes hatred, / for pardon which disarms revenge. / Amen.”
