Dear Friends,
Next week on Thursday, February 1st our Community will have an important meeting with Archbishop Gustavo, Bishop Mike and Bishop Gary. The meeting was called for by the Archdiocese, and we feel that it is also a Providential act on God’s part. We would appreciate your keeping this meeting in your prayers this week, asking that God’s Will be done.
Jesus, we trust in You!

In Darkness, Confusion and Chaos
The Light You Need
When you enthrone Jesus in your heart, when through your Faith, Humility and Obedience you welcome the indwelling of the Holy Trinity, the Divine Mystery, then you carry within yourself the Light you need to walk His Path--- Even in the darkest darkness. Even in the greatest confusion. Even in the midst of the thundering storm.
When you choose Jesus, He can guide you when all seems utter chaos. THERE IS NO OTHER.

"Houston, we have a problem..."
Last week the company that sends out our Friday Meditations had some technical problems that prevented a large portion of people from receiving the Meditation from us. We are told that the problem has been rectified. For the future, you can always find our latest Meditation at the bottom of our website's home page.

It is available on our website, on Rumble and Youtube, on our Facebook page and by using the button below.
We are very sorry that the February 8-11 EWJ in Spanish for women is canceled for reasons beyond our control. We hope to be able to offer this retreat again in the near future. Those participants who registered for this retreat will have priority for the next one.
For the same reason, we have delayed opening the February 29 EWJ for men. As soon as the situation has been resolved we will post the registration link.

"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:
I am a cradle Catholic who lived by some principles of the faith but never really lived by the faith. Church was part of my life every Sunday. A special relationship began to flower in my life. One that only God could have put in my path. For he is the farmer who broadcast the seeds. It is up to us through our own conscience to comprehend, and provided through the grace of God, to return yields of 10-fold, 20-fold, 50-fold for the Lord of Hosts. This helped me discover the need for true growth in Jesus Christ. Not for me alone anymore, but for others. ~Anonymous

Jesus, I trust you with my health. I’m asking and believing in a miracle to heal completely from cancer. You are and always will be a miracle worker and healer. In Jesus Holy name I pray.~Angelica
"The time is running out....The world in its present form is passing away." On this Sunday of the Word of God, St. Paul, Jonah the Prophet, and Our Lord Himself all speak of urgency. How can we make good use of our time?
