December 8th "Hour of Grace"

by Dr. Peter Howard and Patricia A. Fason

The following devotion was forwarded to me by a friend who has had two miraculous cures from cancer attributed to faithfully observing this devotion called "The Hour of Grace". I hope you will participate and please let us know if any favors you request are answered!

~~~~~

The Blessed Mother promised that whatever a person asked her for during this Hour of Grace (even in impossible cases) would be granted to them, if it was in accordance with the Will of the Eternal Father.

The request of Our Heavenly Mother

for the Hour of Grace

1. It is to be observed from 12 noon until 1 pm (one full hour of prayer).

2. During this hour the person making the Hour of Grace either at home or in a church must put away all distractions. (Put the dog outside, shut off your cell phone, do not answer the door, do not be cooking or doing laundry, completely cut yourself off from the noise and distractions of the world for one hour). If you are at work, take your lunch hour at that time and find a quiet place to observe the hour.

3. Begin the Hour of Grace by praying three times the 51st Psalm with outstretched arms. (It is Psalm 50 in the Douay Rheims Bible. Both editions are attached below for your convenience.)

4. The rest of the Hour of Grace may be spent in silent communication with God, adoring the Sacred Host, meditating upon the Passion of Jesus, saying the Holy Rosary, praising God in you own way or by using favorite prayers, singing hymns, etc. (The Precious Blood devotional prayers work very well for this hour!)

It is imperative that you follow these directions of Our Lady exactly as she gave them. Modifying them to suit one's personal desires or public Church functions may void the reception of the grace entirely. Obedience is a great virtue that is lacking in today's society. The most powerful place to observe this hour is in front of the Blessed Sacrament exposed in Adoration.

Let us know of any graces you received from observing this hour.

Psalm 51

Prayer for Cleansing and Pardon

To the leader. A Psalm of David, when the prophet Nathan came to him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba.

¹Have mercy on me, O God,
    according to your steadfast love;
according to your abundant mercy
    blot out my transgressions.
²Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity,
    and cleanse me from my sin.

³For I know my transgressions,
    and my sin is ever before me.
⁴Against you, you alone, have I sinned,
    and done what is evil in your sight,
so that you are justified in your sentence
    and blameless when you pass judgment.
⁵Indeed, I was born guilty,
    a sinner when my mother conceived me.

⁶You desire truth in the inward being;
    therefore teach me wisdom in my secret heart.
⁷Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean;
    wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
⁸Let me hear joy and gladness;
    let the bones that you have crushed rejoice.
⁹Hide your face from my sins,
    and blot out all my iniquities.

¹⁰Create in me a clean heart, O God,
    and put a new and right spirit within me.
¹¹Do not cast me away from your presence,
    and do not take your holy spirit from me.
¹²Restore to me the joy of your salvation,
    and sustain in me a willing spirit.

¹³Then I will teach transgressors your ways,
    and sinners will return to you.
¹⁴Deliver me from bloodshed, O God,
    O God of my salvation,
    and my tongue will sing aloud of your deliverance.

¹⁵O Lord, open my lips,
    and my mouth will declare your praise.
¹⁶For you have no delight in sacrifice;
    if I were to give a burnt offering, you would not be pleased.
¹⁷The sacrifice acceptable to God is a broken spirit;
    a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.

¹⁸Do good to Zion in your good pleasure;
    rebuild the walls of Jerusalem,
¹⁹then you will delight in right sacrifices,
    in burnt offerings and whole burnt offerings;
    then bulls will be offered on your altar.

Psalm 50

Unto the end, a psalm of David,

²When Nathan the prophet came to him after he had sinned with Bethsabee.

³Have mercy on me, O God, according to thy great mercy. And according to the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my iniquity.

⁴Wash me yet more from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.

⁵For I know my iniquity, and my sin is always before me.

⁶To thee only have I sinned, and have done evil before thee: that thou mayst be justified in thy words and mayst overcome when thou art judged.

⁷For behold I was conceived in iniquities; and in sins did my mother conceive me.

⁸For behold thou hast loved truth: the uncertain and hidden things of thy wisdom thou hast made manifest to me.

⁹Thou shalt sprinkle me with hyssop, and I shall be cleansed: thou shalt wash me, and I shall be made whiter than snow.

¹⁰To my hearing thou shalt give joy and gladness: and the bones that have been humbled shall rejoice.

¹¹Turn away thy face from my sins, and blot out all my iniquities.

¹²Create a clean heart in me, O God: and renew a right spirit within my bowels.

¹³Cast me not away from thy face; and take not thy holy spirit from me.

¹⁴Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation, and strengthen me with a perfect spirit.

¹⁵I will teach the unjust thy ways: and the wicked shall be converted to thee.

¹⁶Deliver me from blood, O God, thou God of my salvation: and my tongue shall extol thy justice.

¹⁷O Lord, thou wilt open my lips: and my mouth shall declare thy praise.

¹⁸For if thou hadst desired sacrifice, I would indeed have given it: with burnt offerings thou wilt not be delighted.

¹⁹A sacrifice to God is an afflicted spirit: a contrite and humbled heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.

²⁰Deal favorably, O Lord, in thy good will with Sion; that the walls of Jerusalem may be built up.

²¹Then shalt thou accept the sacrifice of justice, oblations and whole burnt offerings: then shall they lay calves upon thy altar.

The History

During the period of November 24, 1946 to December 8, 1947, the Blessed Mother appeared to Sister Pierina in a little church in Montichiari, Italy, eleven times.

On the first appearance the Blessed Mother told Sister Pierina She wanted to be known as the Mystical Rose and that an hour of grace should be kept at noon, December 8th, in all the Catholic Churches of the world. The Blessed Mother wanted this to be known through all Italy, and the entire world.

It was November 16, 1947 when Sister Pierina was finishing Her Thanksgiving after Holy Communion when she saw a great light. She then saw a vision of the Blessed Mother as the Mystical Rose.

Sister was so deeply moved by the stunning beauty of Our Lady that she began talking to Her. All of a sudden a gentle force made her kneel down in front of Our Lady. The Blessed Mother spoke these words. "My Son is so greatly offended by the sins of impurity. He is already planning to send the deluge upon the people, for their destruction, but I have asked Him to show mercy, and not send the destruction. So that is why I have appeared, to ask for penance and atonement for the sins of impurity."

On the 22nd of November, Sister Pierina felt the overwhelming urge to go to church at 4:00. The Mother Superior, four Sisters, and a group of friends accompanied her. They were all saying the Rosary when the Blessed Mother appeared as before.

Again, Our Lady asked for penance. She said, "Penance is nothing more than accepting all our crosses daily willingly. No matter how small, accept them with love." At this time She told Sister Pierina to come again on December 8th at noon. "This will be my Hour of Grace." The Sister asked how she was to prepare for this Hour of Grace? To which the Blessed Mother said, "with prayers and penance. Pray the 51st psalm with outstretched arms three times. During the Hour of Grace, many spiritual graces would be granted. The most hard-hearted sinners will be touched by the grace of God." The Blessed Mother promised that whatever a person asked her for during this Hour of Grace (even in impossible cases) would be granted to them, if it was in accordance with the Will of the Eternal Father.

On the morning of December 8th, people began arriving at the little church at 8:00 in the morning form neighboring towns. By noon, some 10,000 people had gathered to see the Blessed Mother... In the most gentle and loving voice, Our Lady smiled and began to speak to Sister Pierina, "I am the Immaculate Conception, the Mother of my Beloved Son, Jesus. I want to be known as the Mystical Rose. My wish is that every year on the 8th of December, at noon, an Hour of Grace will be installed. Many spiritual graces and physical blessings will be received by those who pray, undisturbed, during this hour."

* Interesting note*

The Consecration Prayer to the Precious Blood of Jesus found in our prayer book originated in Montechiari and was first given at that apparition site. When someone noticed that and brought it up to the visionary, the young visionary asked Our Lord why he had given them, in Nigeria, the same prayer of consecration from Montichiari.

Our Lord replied, "I didn't have a better one to give."
