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. It is Psalm
51 in the Revised Standard Catholic edition. Both of these Biblical
translations 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! But whatever you do, do it from the depths of your heart!

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, but you can pray this hour just as well in the silence of your
room. The focus is to be alone with God.

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

Psalm 51Prayer for Cleansing and PardonTo the leader. A Psalm of David,
when the prophet Nathan came to him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba.

1 Have mercy on me, O God,
    according to your steadfast love;
according to your abundant mercy
    blot out my transgressions.
2 Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity,
    and cleanse me from my sin.
3 For I know my transgressions,
    and my sin is ever before me.
4 Against 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.
5 Indeed, I was born guilty,
    a sinner when my mother conceived me.
6 You desire truth in the inward being;
    therefore teach me wisdom in my secret heart.
7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean;
    wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
8 Let me hear joy and gladness;
    let the bones that you have crushed rejoice.
9 Hide your face from my sins,
    and blot out all my iniquities.
10 Create in me a clean heart, O God,
    and put a new and right spirit within me.
11 Do not cast me away from your presence,
    and do not take your holy spirit from me.
12 Restore to me the joy of your salvation,
    and sustain in me a willing spirit.
13 Then I will teach transgressors your ways,
    and sinners will return to you.
14 Deliver me from bloodshed, O God,
    O God of my salvation,
    and my tongue will sing aloud of your deliverance.
15 O Lord, open my lips,
    and my mouth will declare your praise.
16 For you have no delight in sacrifice;
    if I were to give a burnt offering, you would not be pleased.
17 The sacrifice acceptable to God is a broken spirit;
    a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.
18 Do good to Zion in your good pleasure;
    rebuild the walls of Jerusalem,
19 then you will delight in right sacrifices,
    in burnt offerings and whole burnt offerings;
    then bulls will be offered on your altar.

*(Repeat 3 times with arms outstretched)*

*Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition:*
Psalm 50 *Unto the end, a psalm of David,*

*2 When Nathan the prophet came to him after he had sinned with Bethsabee. *
3 Have mercy on me, O God, according to thy great mercy. And according to
the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my iniquity.
4 Wash me yet more from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
5 For I know my iniquity, and my sin is always before me.
6 To 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.
7 For behold I was conceived in iniquities; and in sins did my mother
conceive me.
8 For behold thou hast loved truth: the uncertain and hidden things of thy
wisdom thou hast made manifest to me.
9 Thou shalt sprinkle me with hyssop, and I shall be cleansed: thou shalt
wash me, and I shall be made whiter than snow.
10 To my hearing thou shalt give joy and gladness: and the bones that have
been humbled shall rejoice.
11 Turn away thy face from my sins, and blot out all my iniquities.
12 Create a clean heart in me, O God: and renew a right spirit within my
bowels.
13 Cast me not away from thy face; and take not thy holy spirit from me.
