Our Last Battle
"Precious in the eyes of the Lord is the death of His faithful ones." (Ps 116:15)
Each child of God is precious to Him. And being precious, would He not accompany us at the moment of our last witness on earth? For this is what death is: our last offering, our last testimony, our last battle, and therefore precious in His sight.
And if He is present for each one of His children, regardless of whether they call upon Him or not, how much more present must He be with those who have Loved Him, Served Him, Believed Him, and Obeyed Him. His Heart is completely open for them at that hour, as a refuge, as a protection from last attacks of the enemy, as consolation and encouragement, and especially as a foretaste of the fullness of His Love to give them strength for the last effort.
With our limited human capacity for love and understanding, it is impossible for us to fathom how infinite is God's Mercy, how vast and unfathomable His Love. He wishes to save all, to have all His children with Him forever. He works ceaselessly, using every means available to pour out His Mercy, to draw His children to Him.
How beautiful is the entrance into Paradise of those who have let God accomplish His Will in them. How beautiful!

"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:
Dear Jesus, I pray for your Bride, the One, Holy, Catholic, Apostolic Church. I pray for her special sons, the successors to Your first Apostles, that they may serve Her courageously as true Shepherds of the flock. ~ E. ***** For a special intention heavy on my heart.~ Anonymous *****
Dear Lord, we ask You, Who always hears us, for Bryan Guerrero's health. He is very young and suffers from cancer. May Your will be done.~Teresa
****
Jesus, I trust in You. ~ David

I am trying very hard to be a better Christian but seem to be slipping in the last month and losing hope. I feel comfort since finding and doing The Divine Chaplet the last several months but have gotten out of the habit this last few weeks so getting back to it. ~ Anonymous
