TEPEYAC%20CROSS.jpg

What is the Holy Mass?

The Most Perfect Offering of My Jesus, Who, taking on Immaculate Flesh, humbling Himself completely, obeying Me in everything, bearing with everything out of love for you and for Me, takes upon Himself all the hatred and mockery of Satan, paying with His Most Pure and Precious Blood your redemption from the slavery of sin.

It is the Mystery of the Divine Word made Flesh to give you My Love, My Word, My teachings, My Will, to teach you how to live and how to die.

The Mystery of the Eternal Love Made Flesh Who dies in the midst of pain and abandonment in order to gather My children in My Heart once more.

There are no words, children, that could communicate to you in your present condition, ALL that is contained in what My Jesus has done for you out of Love for Me.

Since We Are Being Accused of Schism
and there is some confusion about it,
we encourage you to read this statement
from our website which says in part:

"...Eminent canonists recognize, however, that one who has sincere and reasonable doubts about the legitimacy of the ostensible pope cannot be charged with schism. Such a person is not willfully refusing to submit to one he knows is the pope—true schismatic behavior—but rather refusing to submit to one he precisely believes is not the true pope. "

Found in FAQ's under "Is MDM Schismatic?"

DIVINE MERCY NOVENA

Day One:

"Bring to Me all Mankind"

DMS%20IMAGE%203.jpeg

"Today bring to Me all mankind, especially all sinners, and immerse them in the ocean of My mercy. In this way you will console Me in the bitter grief into which the loss of souls plunges Me."

Most Merciful Jesus, whose very nature it is to have compassion on us and to forgive us, do not look upon our sins but upon our trust which we place in Your infinite goodness. Receive us all into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart, and never let us escape from It. We beg this of You by Your love which unites You to the Father and the Holy Spirit.

Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon all mankind and especially upon poor sinners, all enfolded in the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. For the sake of His sorrowful Passion show us Your mercy, that we may praise the omnipotence of Your mercy for ever and ever. Amen.

(Now continue the novena by reciting the Divine Mercy Chaplet.)

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, Father, for confirming what I've known for 10 years and have told my followers... God bless you from Bogota, Colombia. May Our Lady of Christianity cover you with her mantle.~Jorge

Just said the rosary for Father John Mary after receiving the email today. Whilst meditating on the joyful mystery and Mary’s fiat obeying Gods will, I was praying for Father John Mary who is also obeying Gods will. May God bless you all. From London UK ~ Anonymous

With humility and deep gratitude, I turn to the Network of Trust to ask for prayer for Ecuador, which on Palm Sunday will face a very dangerous crossroads between the defense of our Catholic roots and the imposition of perverse doctrines condemned by Leo XIII, Pius IX, John Paul II, and Benedict XVI. Let us entrust Ecuador to Our Lady of Good Success, and may the Holy Trinity grant us the grace of faith, so that God may act. Jesus, we trust in you. Amen~Pilar

I truly appreciate your mission and your message. May you persevere in God's Will. ~Nora

Jesus I Trust In You! Thank you for all the miracles in our lives. Forgive me for I am a sinner! Mission Of Divine Mercy has changed my life in Christ and in my faith. I ask for prayer for my daughter-in-law and my son. May Jesus and Mother Mary stir love, faith, wisdom and respect in their hearts to save their marriage. Thank you.~Anonymous

Please pray for the Miraculous healing of my bed-ridden mute husband Paul (56 years old) from his massive stroke in Oct 2021. My family and I care for him at home in PA. In a recent web-search for heavy-lifting aides to supplement my sons who are graduated (& -ing) and holding full-time jobs, we were recommended to investigate patient assisted-suicide!! ~Lori

Dear Fr JM Please keep praying for the Church in China . I believe the Lord will work in a powerful way through the people of that country to help save Christianity in the East and West.~Marlena

******

The Mission of Divine Mercy bears a great resemblance to Saint Joseph, patron of the Church, because, like him, they began with a silent "yes" to the Will of God and advance day by day, interweaving prayer and action, inviting us with their example of integrity and consistency, perseverance and combativeness in the Faith, to be part of the Army of Jesus, beyond the dimensions of time and space. Thank you for transforming Benedict XVI's words into a living experience: "Saint Joseph invites us, on the one hand, to this interior journey in the Word of God, to be ever closer to the person of the Lord, but at the same time he invites us to a sober life, to work, to daily service in order to fulfill our duty in the great mosaic of history.~Pilar

Wonderful idea, keep up the extraordinary work! ~Diane

I trust in Jesus only and I throw myself at the feet of His dear Mother for Her comfort. ~Anonymous

I believe that a broken mountain gently nudged by our Lady towards our Lord (who can deny her nothing) can be made whole once again. My dear Jesus I Trust In You. Dearest Brothers and Sisters graciously pray for my sister in law Maria who has stage 4 liver cancer.~Marilyn

Jesus Christ Son of The Living God have Mercy on me a sinner… Jesus, I trust in You! ~Anonymous
