Excerpts taken from the Diary of St. Faustina

 Jesus told St. Maria Faustina that the Blessed Sacrament is the "throne of mercy on earth, " and to daily "Adore, in the Blessed Sacrament, My Heart, which is full of mercy."  "I want Adoration to take place...for the intention of imploring Mercy for the world" (Divine Mercy Diary, 300, 1485, 1572 & 1070)

Jesus asked Saint Faustina to tell the world of His great love and mercy by spreading the Mercy of God Devotion.  "My Heart overflows with great mercy for souls, and especially for poor sinners.  If only they could understand that I am the best of Fathers to them and that it is for them that the Blood and Water flowed from My Heart...For them I dwell in the tabernacle as King of Mercy.  I desire to bestow grace upon souls...They have time for everthing, but they have no time to come to Me for graces." (367)

"Call upon My mercy on behalf of sinners; I desire their salvation.  When you say this prayer, with a contrite heart and with faith on behalf of some sinner, I will give him the grace of conversion.  The prayer is this: O Blood and Water, which gushed forth from teh Heart of Jesus as a fount of mercy for us, I trust in You"  (186)

How To Make a Holy Hour

• Upon entering the Church or chapel, reverently genuflect to Jesus personally present in the Most Blessed Sacrament whether exposed or hidden in the tabernacle (bow if you cannot genuflect)
• Adoringly praise the Lord for His Real Presence in the Holy Eucharist and always being there for you, 24 hours a day, seven days a week!
• Thank God for His love, His sacrifice, His Eucharistic Presence.  Rest in Him.  He waits for us in this Sacrament of Love!

• Adoration - Recite prayers of adoration pouring out your love to God.  Ask for the Holy Spirit, the Blessed Mother, your Guardian Angel, Archangels Michael, Gabriel and Raphael and or the saints to assist you in adoration.
•  Thanksgiving - Thank Jesus for His great sacrafice and His presence always in the Blessed Eucharist.   Thank Him for His Love and Mercy.  Thank Him for all He has given to you and to your family and loved ones.   Ask Him for the grace to always praise and thank Him and to never allow the treasures of this life to overshadow those of everlasting life in Heaven with Him.
• Offering - Make an offering of yourself and all that you have, think, do and say to Jesus. Express sorrow for the times you hurt and offended Him by something you said, did or failed to do.  Ask for his grace and help to resist temptation and sin and pray to be an instrument of His mercy and love to others for the forgiveness of their sins.
• Petitions - Express your requests for the needs of your family, friends and loved ones.  For the Church, the Pope, Bishops and Priests (especially our own pastor) and for all consecrated religious.  Pray for all who suffer and for your special intentions.  (Please pray for the petitions in the petion basket in the Chapel also.)
