The Hour of Grace on December 8

[Dawn Marie]

The Hour of Grace on December 8th.

The Blessed Mother promised that whatever a person asked Her

for during this Hour of Grace, Noon on December 8th (even in impossible cases)

would be granted to them, if it was in accordance with the

Will of the Eternal Father.

 

Psalm 51

 

Have mercy on me, O God,
according to thy steadfast love;
according to thy abundant mercy blot out my transgressions.

Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity,
and cleanse me from my sin!

For I know my transgressions,
and my sin is ever before me.

Against thee, thee only, have I sinned,
and done that which is evil in thy sight,
so that thou art justified in thy sentence
and blameless in thy judgment.

Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity,
and in sin did my mother conceive me.

Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward being;
therefore teach me wisdom in my secret heart.

Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean;
wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.

Fill me with joy and gladness;
let the bones which thou hast broken rejoice.

Hide thy face from my sins,
and blot out all my iniquities.

Create in me a clean heart, O God,
and put a new and right spirit within me.

Cast me not away from thy presence,
and take not thy holy Spirit from me.

Restore to me the joy of thy salvation,
and uphold me with a willing spirit.

Then I will teach transgressors thy ways,
and sinners will return to thee.

Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God,
thou God of my salvation,
and my tongue will sing aloud of thy deliverance.

O Lord, open thou my lips,
and my mouth shall show forth thy praise.

For thou hast no delight in sacrifice;
were I to give a burnt offering, thou wouldst not be pleased.

The sacrifice acceptable to God is a broken spirit;
a broken and contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.

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

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 neighbouring towns. By noon, some 10,000 people had gathered to see the Blessed Mother…

In the most gentle and loving voice, Our Lady smiled ad 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."

@Alley...a limit?  No way :)

[Alley]

I will be there with bells on! lol

I wonder if there is a limit as to the number of intentions you can pray for or

a limit on how many people you can ask for conversion or special help for?

Yes, thank you, Dawn!  A most beautiful devotion.  May many people practice it and many souls be saved!
