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 of Faustina Kowalska, 1572)
After the Easter Octave, the Alleluias linger in our hearts. The Gospel draws our gaze once again to Christ—not only risen but wounded, and showing His wounds to His disciples. The marks of the Passion remain visible and integral to how He is known in His victory, His love, and His Mercy. The suffering that precedes the Resurrection is made radiant in His form.
