A minute at the hour of the Passion, asking mercy for one person who needs it.
A short stop at three in the afternoon, the hour the Gospels give for the death of Christ, made in memory of his Passion and offered for someone who needs mercy.
When: At three in the afternoon, or as near it as the day allows. On Fridays especially, and every day of Lent.
Why: It ties one hour of the day to the Cross, and it turns attention outward. Naming one person and asking mercy for them is a small act of intercession anyone can offer.
