Everyone Must Make a Choice
To each soul there comes a time of decision, when they must choose who they will serve, who they will follow, who they will surrender to. And throughout your life there are multiple moments of choice. Each an opportunity to draw closer to God. Each an opportunity to rectify your way, to make amends and walk even closer to Jesus.
You see the confusion that now reigns over our world. You see the lies that are enveloping every aspect of our lives. You see how God is being more and more sidelined: ignored, rejected, mocked, betrayed, ABANDONED, forgotten.
You have a choice to make.
CHOOSE JESUS. With your eyes and your ears open, with the knowledge of the pain, sorrow and work that come when you choose Jesus--- For His road is difficult. His formation painful. His work exhausting.
But it is HIS Road, HIS Formation, HIS Work. And only these lead to HIS Love, HIS Mercy poured out in overabundance over you; HIS LIFE IN YOU, Your UNION IN LOVE forever.

MEMORIALS IN THE SHRINE FOR HOLY SOULS
“Between us and the Holy Souls is a relationship of profound mutual love and respect.”
Over the years people have asked us for a way to memorialize their loved one out here at the Mission. We asked God to show us an appropriate means and we believe that He inspired us with an approach that would allow people to not just acknowledge their loved ones and support the Mission, but help remind and encourage all visitors to the Mission of our sacred obligation to pray for the Holy Souls in Purgatory.
This six- minute video offers a simple introduction to our religious community, our apostolate, and our prophetic mission. It was developed primarily for people who have never been to the Mission. It is available on our website, on Rumble and Youtube, on our Facebook page and by using the button below.

"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 prayer intention or testimony:
