Jesus, manifest Thyself in the hearts of Thy people as the Eternal Son of God, Whose earthly life began in the womb of Most Holy Mary.

Thou didst take on the total human existence from conception to death. Thou didst consent to be carried in the womb of the Blessed Virgin Mary and then, after birth, saved us by Thy suffering and death on the Cross. From conception to death we live and have our being in Thee.
Jesus, we adore and thank Thee for choosing to become incarnate in the womb of Thy Mother, Mary. We beseech Thee to bless all mothers and intercede with the Holy Spirit and Thy Father, that every infant in the womb receive Thy precious gift of life.
Jesus, conceived in the womb of Mary, grant that Mary's loving mantle overshadow these precious pre-born infants in the wombs of their mothers and assist in their birth. We ask this, Jesus, in Thy name, Who with the Father and Holy Spirit, livest and reignest forever. Amen.

Meditation for Hour of Mercy
Oh Jesus, Your Pierced Heart is the Ocean of infinite Mercy from which Your Blood and Water so generously emanate over us – Your Blood that set us free from our sins and You Water that purifies and enlivens our hearts. You are the open fountain of Salvation in which we desire to submerge ourselves, so that we may be transformed by the redemptive power of Your Mercy.
Jesus, in this image of Your Merciful Heart revealed to Saint Faustina, You have offered us a vessel through which we can come to the fountain of Mercy to receive without limit your abundant graces of conversion, healing and redemption.
Oh Jesus, I trust in You! To You I entrust my entire life, my heart, my fears, my fragilities, my dreams, and all the sufferings of my body as well as the most intimate sufferings of my heart and soul.
I trust in You, oh Divine Mercy! You, Who see my weakness with compassionate eyes; You, Who lift up my misery with the power of Your Love; You, Who give life to my unfruitfulness and Who trust in me in spite of my failings.
In You, I trust! You Who calm the tempests of the soul and the great storms that violently assail the ship of our lives, families, communities, nations and the entire world. In You, Jesus, I entrust the past that in so many ways crushes us; the present that causes much anxiety; and the future that often times we face with anguish.
Oh, Merciful Heart! In your Sacred Wound we hide, finding our refuge and our rest… our everlasting peace. In the unfathomable Ocean of Your Heart, we sinners submerge ourselves today, awaiting with confidence the greatest gift of Your Love for humanity: Your Mercy.Amen

Pray Daily the Chaplet of Seven Sorrow
We start with an Act of contrition :
O my Lord, Thou who alone art most worthy of my love, behold me standing before Thy Divine Presence all in confusion at the thought of the many grievous injuries I have done Thee.
I ask Thy pardon for them with my whole heart, repenting of them purely for love of Thee, and hating and loathing them above every other evil of this life, when I think of Thy infinite goodness.
As I would rather have died a thousand times than have offended Thee, so now I am most firmly resolved to lose my life rather than offend Thee again.
My crucified Jesus, I firmly purpose to cleanse my soul as soon as possible by Thy most Precious Blood in the Sacrament of Penance.
And thou, most tender Virgin, Mother of Mercy and Refuge of sinners, do thou obtain for me the pardon of sin by virtue of thy bitter pains; whilst praying according to the mind of so many holy Pontiffs in order to obtain the indulgences granted to this thy holy Rosary, I hope thereby to obtain remission of all pains due to my sins. Amen
Make the sign of the cross. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
