I just finished praying the Divine Mercy Chaplet as it’s the Hour of Mercy (3PM) in my timezone. This reminded me that I had an idea for a blogpost with the title of this post. And as it’s been a week since my last post and I don’t want my boss angry over any slacking.

To paraphrase a popular Country music song, “It’s Three O’Clock Somewhere,” meaning that somewhere on this planet it is 3:00, the Hour of Mercy, the hour when Jesus died on the Cross on that original Good Friday. You see, if you’re a devotee of the Divine Mercy Message your are encouraged to pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet during that hour.

But not all of us can. Work and other obligations get in the way. We sometimes forget. But fear not! Our twenty-four hour planetary rotation comes to the rescue because regardless of what time it is where you live on Earth, It’s Three O’Clock Somewhere!!!

Somewhere, it is the Hour of Mercy. That it’s not where you are shouldn’t matter because someone, maybe even many someones, are commemorating the hour Christ died by reciting the Chaplet. You can join them!

Yes, it is best to do it when it’s 3PM in your locale, thus keeping the devotion going worldwide for twenty-four hours. But like I said earlier in Pray for us sinners, “Someone, somewhere, right now, is praying…” when you can’t.

Are you a creative Catholic? "The Catholicpunk Manifesto" is my new book exhorting Catholics to apply their faith to change the culture for the better!

Know someone, perhaps yourself, who might like Catholic devotionals for alcoholics? Please take a look at my books! "The Stations of the Cross for Alcoholics" and "The Recovery Rosary: Reflections for Alcoholics and Addicts" (Thank you!!)
