For the Battle That Is Looming

Faith Is Your Shield
and Sword 

HOUR%20OF%20DECISION.jpeg

 

Excerpt from the Message of  October 24, 2024
This Is the Hour of Decision

Jesus speaks:

THIS IS THE HOUR OF DECISION, CHILDREN.

Year after year, event after event, I have given you Signs, I have given you warnings, I have spoken and called you to return to Me without ceasing.

But how few have listened to Me and have put My Words into practice, and have let them take root and produce their fruit:  the simple and powerful Faith that is your shield and your sword for the battle that is already looming.

Whoever rejects My Words – that come forth from My Heart out of love and Mercy for each one of you – whoever rejects My Words rejects the necessary help in order for you to live My Will in these times and in this never-before-seen battle. 

I gather you now in My Army; I call you to it from every corner of the world and from any situation you are in.

COME, CHILDREN.  TAKE YOUR PLACES BY MY SIDE.

Yes, you are wounded, you are weak, you are dirty, you feel incapable of anything.

DO NOT THINK ABOUT YOUR WEAKNESS, BUT RATHER ABOUT MY POWER AND STRENGTH.

Stop looking at yourselves and look at Me.

LOOK AT ME.

LOOKING FOR GOLF CARTS!

GOLFCART.JPG

Golf carts at the Mission get A LOT OF USE  transporting people from parking lot to Mass, giving tours to visiting pilgrims and assisting staff make deliveries around the property.  And now that the Sisters are living on the property, we would like to provide them with one or more carts as a convenient means of negotiating the hills and distance.

 Among his many jobs, Dave Sommers has learned a lot about golf cart repair, but he has warned us that some of our carts have reached the point where parts are no longer available. And duct tape can only do so much.

SO IF YOU LIVE IN THE AREA, AND HAVE A GOLF CART IN GOOD REPAIR THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO DONATE TO THE MISSION, WE WOULD BE VERY GRATEFUL!

Prayer for God's Healing - Thursday, March 6 at the conclusion of 7 PM Holy Hour

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.

You are giving me a lot of peace and spiritual understanding. Thank you and God bless this ministry.~Beverly

Praise God in His Mercy May the Mother of God aid us in this endeavor .~ Anonymous

Lord, may your Holy Will be done, which is always better than what we can ask for. At Your Feet, Lord, is Ecuador. On Sunday, February 9, there will be an electoral process. Let us look only to You while we repeat: “JESUS, I TRUST IN YOU!” with the certainty that Our Mother holds us in the cross of Her arms, in the hollow of Her cloak, as She assured Saint Juan Diego. Thank you, Father Juan María and the MDM community, for being privileged instruments of the Good God who courageously weave this network of trust, calling us to Truth and Goodness. ~ Pilar

Glad to recite Jesus I trust in You ~ Mary

Thank you Father John Mary & each of your Associates. I look forward to receiving all messages regarding the Word of our Lord & also recite the Divine Mercy daily. I will do my utmost to pray Jesus I Trust in You daily & as often as my memory serves. ~Jennifer

My brother, diagnosed with Chagas disease, prayed the Chaplet of Divine Mercy every day at 3 pm. For five years he did not show the characteristic symptoms of the disease, and had a good quality of life (breathing without difficulty, eating, moving around, sleeping, no pain). When he woke up on the morning of April 19, 2001, he saw two rays of light emanating from the image of the Sacred Heart of Jesus that he had in his room; at 6 pm he died peacefully. I share this testimony of faith to encourage us to repeat incessantly: Jesus, I trust in You!~Pilar

Thank you, Father John Mary Foster and Sister Amapola and all of the Mission Of Divine Mercy for bringing these messages , homilies and teachings to us poor sheep (laity) who otherwise would be VERY LOST AND CONFUSED. You are a vital lifeline, a beacon of shining hope in this very dark world. I personally depend greatly on these messages to help guide me in these confusing times when our local Cardinal and most priests in this archdiocese are utterly silent - nothing, crickets. Thank you sooo much.~Leedell

THANK YOU Fr. John and everyone at MDM so much for your encouragement and hope. Please pray for my daughter and son in law’s Godly outcome from their recent miscarriage. I too, will pray “Jesus, I trust in You” 20 times a day -not just for my personal intentions-but for all intentions. May Our beautiful Mother of Mercy and Her Son, Jesus guide and protect us. Amen ~Anonymous

Thank you to all the members of the MDM because with humility, faith and obedience you persevere in the combativeness for the Truth and the Good in the light of the Holy Spirit, guiding us in these circumstances, not at all ordinary and very difficult... ~Pilar

My husband prays the Divine Chaplet daily at the 3:00 p.m. hour or around that time. He suffers terribly from advanced end stage COPD. Please pray for him that God gives him some relief as he struggles to get air in and out of his lungs. It's a terrible suffering 24/7. I will pray 20 times per day JESUS I TRUST IN YOU because we only have GOD to trust in this world of so much evil. COME LORD JESUS RETURN to US. ~Gloria

I have been going to the MDM...but never signed up. Just did though. I drive in from San Antonio and bring my wife and 2 boys . We love the MDM. It is a place like no other. There is a calm and a peaceful presence that draws us back every time. The messages are so beautiful and so full of hope. Fr John Mary and the community are very special to us. The Mass is so reverent. Thank you Jesus for bringing to us the MDM. JESUS I TRUST IN YOU~Juan
