The Three O'clock Hour of Mercy
At That Moment, Mercy Was Opened Wide
I remind you, My daughter, that 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, 1572).It-Tielet siegħa, Is-Siegħa tal-Ħniena
Meditate upon My Passion
My Mercy on Behalf of Sinners
Today Jesus said to me, I desire that you know more profoundly the love that burns in My Heart for souls, and you will understand this when you meditate upon My Passion. 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. This is the prayer: (Diary, 186).
"O Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a fount of Mercy for us, I trust in You." (Diary, 187).
Immedita fuq il-Passjoni Tiegħi
Il-ħniena Tiegħi għall-midinbin
186. + Illum Ġesu’ qalli: Jiena nixtieqek tkun taf b’mod iktar profond l-imħabba li hemm taqbad ġewwa Qalbi għall-erwieħ, u dan inti tkun tista’ tifhmu meta timmedita fuq il-Passjoni Tiegħi. Itlobni għall-ħniena Tiegħi għall-midinbin. Jiena nixtieq is-salvazzjoni tagħhom. Meta inti tgħid din it-talba, b’qalb niedma u bil-fidi għal xi midneb, Jiena nagħtih il-grazzja tal-konverżjoni. Din hi t talba:
187. ‘O Demm u Ilma, li ħriġtu mill-Qalb ta’ Ġesu’ bħala għajn ta’ ħniena għalina, jiena nafda Fik.’
Jesus the Teacher
The Generosity of Jesus
Once, the Lord said to me, My daughter, take the graces that others spurn; take as many as you can carry. At that moment, my soul was inundated with the love of God. I feel that I am united with the Lord so closely that I cannot find words to express that union; in this state I suddenly feel that all the things God has, all the goods and treasures, are mine, although I set little store by them, for He alone is enough for me. In Him I see my everything; without Him — nothing (Diary, 454).
December 18, [1936]. Today I felt bad that a week had gone by and no one had come to visit me. When I complained to the Lord, He answered, Isn't it enough for you that I visit you every day? I apologized to the Lord and the hurt vanished. O God, my strength, You are sufficient for me (Diary, 827).
Il-Ġenerożità ta’ Ġesù
454. Darba, il-Mulej qalli, Binti, ħu l-grazzji li l-oħrajn ma jriduhomx; ħu daqskemm inti tiflaħ iġġorr. F’dak il-waqt, ruħi, mtliet kollha kemm hi bl-imħabba ta’ Alla. Inħossni maqgħuda hekk mill-qrib ma’ Alla li ma nistax insib il-kliem biex infisser x’inhi sewwa din il-għaqda; meta nkun f’dan l-istat, f’daqqa waħda nħoss li dak kollu li Alla għandu, l-affarijiet u t-teżori kollha, huma tiegħi, għalkemm ma jimpurtanix wisq minnhom, għax Hu waħdu huwa biżżejjed għalija. Fih jiena nara l-kollox tiegħi; mingħajru – xejn.
827. 18 ta’ Diċembru(1936). Illum ħassejtni daqsxejn diżżapuntata li kienet għaddiet ġimgħa u ħadd ma kien ġie jżurni. (nota152) Meta lmentajt mal-Mulej, Hu weġibni, Mhux biżżejjed għalik li niġi nżurek Jiena kuljum? Tlabt skuża lill-Mulej u l-weġgħa ma baqgħetx hemm. O Alla, saħħa tiegħi, Inti biżżejjed għalija.
