We Have A Special Gift for You Today
from Our Blessed Mother
Last Thursday night we had no idea that the next day we would receive the letter from the Archdiocese with the results of the trial. But Our Blessed Mother obviously knew. And She gave Sister this beautiful Message of loving support that was directed to the Community and staff, but which we feel also applies to everyone who serves in Her Reconquest Army, and all those who are taking part in the Queenship Novena. If the archdiocesan decision felt like poison, the Blessed Mother's words were the antidote.
I Bless You
August 13th, 2026
Our Blessed Mother.
My beloved little ones,
My faithful Team (smile), the little handful of the Father (smile),
How much I love you, and how much your love consoles Me.
My Heart is pierced anew by the swords of indifference, disobedience to the Truth, all the attacks on My children, in particular the smallest ones, the most vulnerable ones.
I gather each one of you – each of My children – into My Arms, close to My Heart; I gather your tears, pain, sorrow, and offer them to the Father together with Mine, and in the Chalice of Redemption that My Jesus lifts to the Father on your behalf.
My little ones, do not fear.
Let your trust in the Love of the Father grow in you without any bounds, let it fill every aspect of your lives.
The Father is at work, My little ones, and you cooperate in His Work.All you see is the difficulties and the weight of each day that goes by without yet seeing His Action visibly, without yet seeing the signs of His Victory.
Be at Peace.
I receive your prayers and your efforts during this time of the Novena you faithfully offer to Me.And I obtain for you the grace of Perseverance in the midst of pain, confusion, and the dryness of the path of Faith, Humility, Obedience.
How much I love you, My little ones, how much!
I bless each of you, I bless your families, and all those you carry in your hearts and prayers.
Be at Peace.
The Lamb Who Was Slain, My Jesus, is the Conqueror, have no fear.
Remain in My Heart, and in My Peace.
Your Heavenly Mother Who loves you, and keeps watch over you day and night. +
Mary Most Holy, Queen of Heaven and Earth by the Will of the Father.Amen
August 21, 2026 Mission of Divine Mercy
A Gathering for Our Friends This Sunday
This is a momentous time for the Mission and we know that people have many questions. This Sunday, August 23, we will have a gathering at the OCC after Mass at 11:45. We want to give you, our friends, an opportunity to comment and to ask questions of Father and the Community.
But Sunday is also a day of rest, so no one should feel an obligation to stay.
Tomorrow Saturday, August 22, is the Feast of the Queenship of Mary.
It also concludes our 18th annual Novena to the Queenship of Mary
This year's general intention over which we asked Our Lady to exercise Her Queenship is: FOR THE RECONQUEST OF THE HEARTS OF ALL GOD'S CHILDREN.
Our Blessed Mother responded:
"I receive your prayers and your efforts during this time of the Novena you faithfully offer to Me." (Aug. 13, 2026)
Setting the Facts Straight About the Mission Property
A recent article in a European-based publication about the canonical trial incorrectly stated that the archdiocese had "ordered the seizure of the community's property." This false information was then repeated in a local publication.
We want to state clearly that the archdiocese did not and cannot seize the property or assets of the Mission of Divine Mercy. The Mission property is owned by Mission of Divine Mercy, Inc., which is a 501(c)(3) private corporation, and as such, the archdiocese has no ownership of it.
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 for your mission and your obedience to the Voice of God. May the Lord continue to bless you abundantly, and may Our Lady cover you day and night with her Immaculate Mantle. May Saint Joseph guide and protect you as he guided and protected Jesus and Mary. To Jesus through Mary. Jesus, I trust in You ~ Anonymous ****

The statement by Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger—"Even in the realm of supernatural faith, there are many who live off the few, and few who live for the many" (*Looking at Christ*, 1989)—clearly defines the Mission of Divine Mercy. Renewed thanks to Father Juan María, Sister Amapola, and all the members of the MDM for being privileged instruments of the Good God in faithfully conveying His messages, which serve as a light during these times of uncertainty and confusion. Fraternal greetings from Ecuador.~Pilar
**** I look forward to reading more messages because they are so inspiring and beautiful, like a bolt of truth coming from God’s heart into our hearts. The language is so elegant and lovely. I listen to these messages over and over again like a favorite song that I just cannot get enough of…. ~Krista
**** Let us continue to build the Church, with the powerful protection of the Eternal Father, with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, and with Our Lord Jesus Christ as the cornerstone of the Church... To Jesus through Mary, Amen. Most Holy Mary, through your most pure and Immaculate Conception, pray for us who have recourse to you. ~ Adal
The poor mother in the Gospel is experiencing this. We have too. Someone she loves is suffering from an evil spirit. What is the Lord teaching us through her?

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.
