Dearest Jesus,
King of Divine Mercy,
During this Hour of Mercy,
Help me to slow down my life,
To let go all of my worries,
And to give them to Our Lady,
So that she can gently lay them
At the foot of your cross;
And so I humbly place myself,
Lovingly and wholeheartedly,
In your most holy presence —
Help me to recall your passion,
Your painful bloody passion,
And how much you suffered,
In the agony in the garden,
In the scourging at the pillar,
In the crowning of thorns,
In the carrying of the cross,
And in the crucifixion,
So that I may better understand
How much I have wounded you
With all my sins!
And so, as I stand at Golgotha,
Watching the blood and water
That flow from your side,
I approach this Sea of Mercy
With great trust —
Please fill my heart
To overflowing measure
With your unfathomable mercy.
Amen.
