Deo Gratias! Sister received a new public Message which we expect to publish this Tuesday, March 3.
The Battle Looms, My Angels Draw Closer
The Enemy Is Blind to MY Growing Army Throughout the World
Excerpt from Message of March 1, 2024 To My Faithful Priests God the Father speaks:
My sons prepare yourselves for battle.
YES, We – you and I – have been in this battle for a long, long time. Warding off constantly the attacks of the Ancient Serpent, the great Accuser.
But the battle that looms now, My sons, is far greater, far subtler, far, far more dangerous. And it is why I have reserved Grace upon Grace for these times.
My enemy – our enemy – thinks he has the victory in his hand, he sees the destruction and deception he has caused and is pleased, so pleased with himself that his pride blinds him. Blinds him to My growing Army, spread throughout the world, and kept hidden by Me until this Hour.
He is blind to the Army of My Holy Angels that are drawing ever closer to you, to help and protect and fight alongside you.

Faithful Prayer Warriors
Recently Father John Mary offered a special blessing for members of the Marian Movement of Priests prayer group who have been meeting faithfully after Mass at the Mission for over five years. We should all be grateful for their fidelity to these prayers for our world and the Church. Thank you, ladies.
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.

We must have Faith in the Holy Trinity One God, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, and in The Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother Of God, Our Mother, no matter what happens to us or to the World around us.~Jose

Please pray that my surgery goes well. I am in need of prayers, to be strong and not fearful, and to do God's will. May our Lady cover us with her mantle, and protect us. Thank you ~Miriam

I am almost 69 years old and I have lived a life of suffering, which I unite with the LORD and offer for the souls and for the pain of those in need. I don't know if I have the right to ask for relief for my own suffering, because a meningioma and a broken spine sometimes make my days quite difficult. If you think I should ask for help, I leave it to your discretion, because I think that if the LORD sent this to me, it's not right to ask to alleviate the pain. I humbly embrace MARY MOST HOLY and the CROSS of our LORD JESUS CHRIST.
PEACE AND GOODNESS. ~Nancy

Thank you, dear Father Juan María, for each of your homilies, as simple as they are profound that fall on the soul like drops of refreshing dew. Especially thank you for making us feel part of the community regardless of time and space through your words: «The people who have gathered now in this chapel and other people who are further away, but who are attentive» [2026-01- 04]. Also thanks to each member of the MDM for interweaving time, work and dedication so that we can access the messages and homilies. Thank you for being privileged instruments of the Good God. ~Pilar
After the temptation in the desert, Satan waited “for an opportune time” to attack again: in Jesus’ agony in the Garden of Gethsemane. This was a different temptation: to fear, to despair. We share a Message from Our Blessed Mother about how much he is attacking us today with this temptation. And how to resist it.

Yes, You Can Help!
Thank you for considering making a donation in support of MDM. Your donations go directly to the Mission of Divine Mercy Inc. which as of March 2024, is considered "not an approved Catholic apostolate of the Archdiocese of San Antonio." The Mission has no regular source of income. Every bit of support comes from people like you; people who God introduces to the Mission. We try to steward your money wisely and make each dollar work hard for Him and for His people.
