Upon this Rock I Will Build My Church
SAINT%20PETER.jpg

...and the Gates of Hell Shall Not Prevail Against It.

(The following is an excerpt from a July 1, 2024 letter from Bishop Joseph Strickland that appeared on his Substack account. A link to the entire letter can be found below.)

 

The Lord does not interject things into the world abruptly and without warning that are necessary for our salvation.  He builds a framework for them to rest upon, and then begins to teach us, step by step, how to enter in and partake of this salvific reality. And what is required in order to accept this reality is something I have written about in a previous letter--supernatural faith.  Supernatural faith is of the utmost importance because salvific realities are far beyond human understanding and, therefore, supernatural faith is required to accept them.  The "mystery" of the Church is one of these salvific realities which requires supernatural faith to understand and accept, for the Church came from the salvific plan of the Lord and is the "universal sacrament of salvation."

...it is the Church that brings forth Christ's saving mission in the world.  The Church is both a sign and an instrument that brings forth God's grace.

...The Church of divine origin shall never fall, even though it may at some point be relegated to the catacombs for a time.

Our Lady of the Americas
to Sr. Mary Ephrem:

“Peace is from within, not from without. If mankind were at peace with itself, there would be peace in the world. Man will only have peace if he has in his heart that true love of neighbor that springs from a whole-hearted love for My Son."

February 3, 1957

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 prayer intention or testimony:

 

Hello, I lived in CL and this mission was my peace, my refuge, and my place to find answers that I really believe God put the words in the mouth of  Fr. John Mary to answer me or comfort my heart in pain. Please keep me in your prayers. I move out of CL but I know this mission brings peace to my heart. ~Anonymous

The holy spirit gives me great peace when I'm listening to your messages from our heavens. Thank you for your courageousness and love in these troubling times. May God bless you and be at peace. ~ Jennifer

I received the Sacrament of Penance this morning and my priest also said to pray, "Jesus, I trust in you." How beautiful to get home and read the same message from the Mission! -Anne

*****

Please add me and my family to the list. Also please pray for my husband PL and two stepchildren who are atheists. Please pray for me and my broader family for increase in faith, trust, hope and love for God and that we would never deny Christ and for the graces never to be deceived. ~Anonymous

In union with you and The Most Holy Trinity..from Paris no more the City of light ...may our Loving God enlighten it. ~ Anonymous

We think we can solve our problems on our own - we can’t!  Jesus, I trust in You for everything. -Luci

*****

Jesus I trust in you for you work all things for our good - you knew us before we were conceived in our mother’s womb - I surrender to you and thank you for your great gift of mercy - let us always trust in your mercy with the trust of a little child .~Janice
