Take Him in Your Arms

What Is Done in Faith
Is Done in Truth

BABE%20IN%20ARMS%202.JPG
                     This is the final installment of the Dec. 16, 2017 Message.
Jesus speaks-

My little ones so beloved.

Take Me in your arms. [smile] Remember that what is done in Faith is done in truth, even if you do not perceive it thus.

My little ones, I want to rest in your Faith, rest on your heart; take Me in your arms without fear, without embarrassment, [smile] because I come gladly.  And I come with SO MUCH Love!

I take you into My Arms, and you take Me into yours. [smile]

Let us spend these Holy Days that are coming in this way.

How much I love you!

I wait for you. [smile]

                                                         Your little Jesus+

CONTACTING YOU WHEN IT IS URGENT

Recently when we suddenly had to cancel a weekday Mass because Fr. John Mary wasn't feeling well, we felt compelled to send the notice to all of our subscribers, because these days someone can be coming to Mass from another state, another country, or another continent. 
However, we would vastly prefer not to send an unnecessary email to your inbox.

If you would like to be aware of last minute changes or urgent information, please sign up for our text messages. You can update your Personal Information Portal (PIP) communication preferences by using this link: 

 

Or please check our website for last minute changes before coming to the Mission for Mass.

 

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 MDM. I look forward to all your messages, and visiting your chapel one day, please pray for my granddaughter who experiencing a high level of Anxiety Disorder. Jesus I Trust in You!🙏🏼~ Anonymous

We went to the new Tepeyac right after the messages were posted, there was a breeze and a stillness that we had never felt before, we thought… this is where the Virgin has given her messages and we felt very fortunate to be able to be there.~Susy

The thought of how easily souls can drift into eternal separation from God fills me with a terror that defies words. It’s a torment I cannot fully express, but it ignites in me an urgency to spread God’s Divine Mercy, to reach those who are deceived by such indifference. ~Jessie

Have been visiting the mission for years but did not sign up. Enjoyed Sunday Mass and the weekly smaller Mass as well. ~Judy

At this time I definitely need prayers to Trust in Jesus… My husband needs a lung transplant, but another medical issue came up and now has to wait 5 years before being considered again for a lung transplant. Jesus, I trust in you! ~Nina

COMMUNITY%20SUPPORT.jpg

 

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.
