The 3 O’Clock Prayer: Making It A Daily Habit in Honor of the Divine Mercy

At 3 o’clock in the afternoon, Catholics around the world pause for a moment of reflection and prayer, honoring the hour of Jesus’ death on the cross. Known as the 3 O’Clock Prayer, this practice has its roots in the Divine Mercy devotion, inspired by the visions of St. Faustina Kowalska in the early 20th century. In these visions, Jesus emphasized the importance of this hour as a time of great mercy and grace.

Incorporating the 3 O’Clock Prayer into your daily routine can be a powerful way to reconnect with your faith and seek God’s mercy. Whether you’re at work, at home, or on the go, taking a few moments to say this prayer can bring peace, reflection, and a sense of spiritual renewal.

The 3 O'Clock Prayer

You died Jesus, but the source of life flowed out for souls and an ocean of Mercy opened up for the whole world. O Fountain of Life, immeasurable Divine Mercy, cover the whole world and empty Yourself out upon us.

O Blood and Water, which flowed out from the Heart of Jesus as a Fountain of Mercy for us, I Trust in You!

Holy God, holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us and the whole world (3 times)

Amen.
Jesus, King of Mercy, I. Trust in You!

We invite you to make the 3 O’Clock Prayer a daily habit. By doing so, you join a global community of believers in honoring the sacrifice of Christ and opening your heart to His infinite mercy. Let this prayer be a daily reminder of love, hope, and redemption.
