REFUGE%20%26%20CITADEL.jpg

 

Excerpt from Message of May 21, 2024
Strength from a New Pentecost:

 

The Blessed Mother speaks--

My beloved little children,

I speak to you from My new Tepeyac,[1] where I will gather all the Words that I have spoken to you throughout the centuries; where I will renew all the various Graces that your Heavenly Father has granted in My holy places as a seal of His Love and Blessing, and as an answer to the prayer of My Motherly Heart for all My children.[2]

How much I love you, children, with the Love of the Father, and of My Son, and of the Most Holy Spirit of God, that descends into My Heart as a flame and from there, as from a spring of water, I give It to you to drink – to console your hearts, to heal the wounds in your spirits, to heal your bodies if it is necessary for your salvation.

And to give you the encouragement that you are not alone.

****

 

The footnotes are added by Sr. Ammapola:

[1] When She began to speak I perceived strongly Her Presence as Our Lady of Guadalupe and the particular Grace of Her Apparitions in Mexico – bringing Her maternal Presence and the Truth of God to a very complicated historical situation; the encounter between two such different cultures – the struggle between the paganism that was so entrenched and Christianity.  And how our current situation is similar (though now affecting not just a small region but the whole world): the division between the world that has rejected God and is sinking once again into paganism (and worse), and the Christian world – so fragmented, attacked, and weakened – that realizes more and more that the only solution will have to come from Heaven.  And that just as in 1531 God intervened directly, so now also there will come a direct Divine intervention – a much greater one because it must reach every soul and place.

When She says “My new Tepeyac” it is not as a way of diminishing or taking the place of the original Tepeyac – very much to the contrary – it is rather to remind us of what happened in 1531, as a reason to hope, as a reminder of the essential Truths, and as consolation and encouragement knowing that She is truly our Mother Who cares for us, and that God is about to intervene once more on our behalf.  [At the end of this Message I include several extracts from Her Words to Juan Diego because when She said, “I speak to you from My new Tepeyac,” I felt those words to be very present and alive.]

 

[2] When She says that here all the Words and Graces that have been granted through Her Apparitions, Messages, and various Manifestations throughout the centuries will be gathered and renewed, I perceive that She is alluding to the Manifestations that God has announced to us and that will happen soon on this little hill.  That these coming Manifestations will gather all of the others and will show their Divine origin and will make present once again the Graces of each of them – as if pouring them out again – this is why She says that from here will flow the River of Grace that will unite all the other Waters.  Difficult to explain what I perceive, but it is definitely not a lessening of other Apparitions, but rather showing that they are all a part of God’s Plan, and that they have all helped and prepared for this Hour.

A NETWORK OF TRUST 

"This is what MDM is called to be: a growing communion of trust in His Mercy for our needy world." ~ Fr. John Mary

MDM started encouraging people to pray "Jesus, I trust in You"  ten times a day back in 2011. Recently we felt it was important to remind people to turn to Jesus with this simple, powerful prayer in a world that feels more and more out of control. We are suggesting 20 times, but some people find themselves repeating it hundreds of times. It reminds our troubled souls that GOD IS IN CONTROL. 

Many of you have put your name on our growing list and have also left a comment or testimony. We ask that prayer intentions be placed at Prayer Request on our website.

Thank you Father John Mary & each of your Associates. I look forward to receiving all messages regarding the Word of our Lord & also recite the Divine Mercy daily. I will do my utmost to pray Jesus I Trust in You daily & as often as my memory serves. ~Jennifer

 

THANK YOU Fr.John and everyone at MDM so much for your encouragement and hope. Please pray for my daughter and son in law’s Godly outcome from their recent miscarriage. I too, will pray “Jesus, I trust in You” 20 times a day -not just for my personal intentions-but for all intentions. May Our beautiful Mother of Mercy and Her Son, Jesus guide and protect us. Amen ~Anonymous

My brother, diagnosed with Chagas disease, prayed the Chaplet of Divine Mercy every day at 3 pm. For five years he did not show the characteristic symptoms of the disease, and had a good quality of life (breathing without difficulty, eating, moving around, sleeping, no pain). When he woke up on the morning of April 19, 2001, he saw two rays of light emanating from the image of the Sacred Heart of Jesus that he had in his room; at 6 pm he died peacefully. I share this testimony of faith to encourage us to repeat incessantly: Jesus, I trust in You!~Pilar

Thank you, Father John Mary Foster and Sister Amapola and all of the Mission Of Divine Mercy for bringing these messages , homilies and teachings to us poor sheep (laity) who otherwise would be VERY LOST AND CONFUSED. You are a vital lifeline, a beacon of shining hope in this very dark world. I personally depend greatly on these messages to help guide me in these confusing times when our local Cardinal and most priests in this archdiocese are utterly silent - nothing, crickets. Thank you sooo much.~Leedell

My husband prays the Divine Chaplet daily at the 3:00 p.m. hour or around that time. He suffers terribly from advanced end stage COPD. Please pray for him that God gives him some relief as he struggles to get air in and out of his lungs. It's a terrible suffering 24/7. I will pray 20 times per day JESUS I TRUST IN YOU because we only have GOD to trust in this world of so much evil. COME LORD JESUS RETURN to US. ~Gloria

I have been going to the MDM...but never signed up. Just did though. I drive in from San Antonio and bring my wife and 2 boys . We love the MDM. It is a place like no other. There is a calm and a peaceful presence that draws us back every time. The messages are so beautiful and so full of hope. Fr John Mary and the community are very special to us. The Mass is so reverent. Thank you Jesus for bringing to us the MDM. JESUS I TRUST IN YOU~Juan
