  Little prayer for use at 3 p.m. the Hour of Great Mercy
  You expired Jesus, but the source of life gushed forth for souls, and the ocean of mercy opened up for the whole world. O Fountain of Life, unfathomable Divine Mercy, envelop the whole world and empty Yourself out upon us!
  ~ St. Maria Faustina of the Most Blessed Sacrament

• Prayer for Vocations
  Prayed daily by our nuns and guests
  Lord of the harvest, send workers into your vineyard! Bless the Church in our diocese and throughout the world with many priestly and religious vocations. We pray especially that many may welcome your call to Passionist life in this monastery, so that the Passionist Nuns may continue to give witness to your merciful love poured out in the Passion, death and resurrection of Jesus your Son. We ask this through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.
