A Sign of God's Love While We Occupy This Vale of Tears
Over the 4th of July weekend, all of Texas-- indeed all of the country and much of the world-- was praying for the victims of the terrible flooding in the Hill Country. Here at the Mission the Community prayed for the children, the families and the first responders at Mass and in their Holy Hours.
Requests for prayers came in:
"Please pray for a friend whose parents and daughter are missing..."
" Please pray for my neighbor whose nephew and nephew's family are missing..."
On Sunday evening, July 6, as the Sisters stepped out of their house, they were confronted by a beautiful rainbow stretching across the sky directly in front of them. Sister Amapola took some photos that she shared with the Community and staff.
In posting she said, "The quality of the light was impressive, 'golden.' Photos don't do it justice."
Others added their comments:
Mother Magdalene:"Yes, beautiful! For me the golden horizontal light centered in the full arc makes me think of God the Father with His Arms spread out."
Sarah: "To me it looks like it has profundity and that Jesus could come out of the depth walking towards us."
Fr. John Mary: "I saw it too. I was on the road, next to Bethel, the house where I live, and looking down the road. The rainbow was over the road. It was an extraordinary rainbow, with golden light in the middle. It made me think of a gate to heaven. Then, yesterday at Mass, the reading was about Bethel and the Gateway to Heaven."
Then the next day, the first day of their annual Community retreat, Sr. Amapola received a Message from God the Father which said in part,
...I gave you the gift and sign of My rainbow last night, as a sign of My Love, of My Presence, of My Power, and of My fidelity to My Covenant with you, to My Promises.
All that I have spoken to you will come to pass, all in its proper time. All in its proper order.

As we continue to pray for all who are affected by this terrible tragedy, let us reflect on these words of Our Blessed Mother from the Message of August 15, 2024:
"Remember that the Light of God is infinitely greater than the deepest darkness. Engrave this Truth in yourselves and do not forget it. All other 'light' fades, but the Light of God remains alive, strong, eternal, beautiful.... I bring you flashes, little rays of this infinite Light that you might survive, but the fullness of this Light --that will one day envelop you completely-- will recompense you for everything, will heal you of all wounds."

BISHOP STRICKLAND SPEAKS FORCEFULLY AND CLEARLY
When Wolves Wear Vestments: The Synodal Siege Within the Church.
Excerpt from Message of Nov. 23, 2024, Feast of Christ the King The Light is Coming
God the Father speaks:
It is the time of DECISION for My Priest sons and Bishops, of defending My Truth and the honor of My Name, of defending the holiness of My House, of My Temple, of My Throne.
The Hour is coming to a close. CHOOSE, SONS.
You cannot serve two masters.
And you, My little flock, do not fear. I will never leave you without a Shepherd, for the Divine Shepherd NEVER abandons His sheep, even if the rest of the shepherds do.
Children, do not complicate yourselves with so many reasonings that only lead you to even greater anguish and confusion.
Contrast the words and the actions – not only the public and evident ones, but also the more hidden and unnoticed – of the false shepherds, of the wolves dressed in sheep’s clothing, with the holy, pure and simple Words of My Jesus. Contrast them with His actions – all of them gathered into a single one: to do ALL that I asked of Him.
Recognize the difference between imitating out of love and imitating out of convenience and hatred.
Examine them well, children, for even if in appearance they are the same – similar words and actions – their origin and effects are entirely different.
I will act at the necessary moment to bring to light the traitors, do not fear.
But I teach you, I guide you, and I give you Light – you who love Me in simplicity and with Faith – so that you may recognize the errors and dangers, and help Me to give Light to your brothers.

This is a talk that Father John Mary gave recently to the Amici Christi. He was not intending to make it public. After the talk however, some members of the community thought it would be helpful to do so. In the talk he reflects on how the Messages, though they do not name Leo XIV, may apply to him.
"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.

Miracles do exist. But not every miracle happens. I would be grateful if you pray for me too. With all my heart ~ Angelina ****
Our Blessed Mother in Medjugorje called us to be peacemakers. And my heart reflects: how do we want peace in the world if we are not capable of living it first within ourselves, in our homes, in our communities, and in all that we undertake day by day, especially in the adverse circumstances of life? True peace begins in the depths of the soul, where God dwells. Queen of Peace, pray for us. Prayer: Blessed Mother of Medjugorje, teach us to be peacemakers, beginning within ourselves, so that even in adversity, we may know how to reflect the peace that transforms the world. The Medjugorje Peace Prayer goes like this: O Jesus, we want to be instruments of peace with you! Spread the spirit of peace throughout the whole world. O Mary, Queen of Peace, pray for us and for the whole world. Also, in one of her most memorable messages, Our Lady said: Dear children! If you pray, the Holy Spirit will enlighten you, and you will know what you must do. I want you to pray, pray, pray, and be bearers of peace. NOTE: Medjugorje Message, July 25, 1993~Gabriella
**** Thank you for trusting in God and being a voice of reason in these crazy times. " Jesus, I trust in you". ~Denise

Thank you for your most recent podcast. Some of the questions that i had was answered in your talk. I'm starting to understand why God has said BE On Guard. In these times it is so easy to be confused and deceived. I pray for everyone in the Mission and for those who read these messages that God blesses, guides them and keeps them wrapped in his arms. ~Jo Anne

🙂I feel like discovering you folks on YouTube as well as signing up for this email has been a blessing straight from heaven. I’m a devout Catholic. I attend daily mass say the Divine Mercy chaplet and the holy Rosary as we are in dire need of it. I was a cradle Catholic fell away for many years and by the Grace of God with True Miracles! with a hand from Heaven came back five years ago. This is an absolute, Jesus I trust in you. Thank you for everything you do. His will be done for his flock. ~Mary ****
"REMAIN IN THIS LOVE, CHILDREN. DO NOT ALLOW IT TO BE PROFANED BY SATAN'S LIES – Not in your minds, not in your hearts, not in your homes, not in My Church, not in the world." (Excerpt from the Message of August 5, 2024). As I reread these words, I felt the urgency to review the books I had at home; I found a large amount of New Age literature that I sent to a recycling plant for final destruction. I thank the Good Lord for having freed my home from this horrendous desecration and, of course, thank you for His Messages through the Divine Mercy Mission that guide us, sustain us, and strengthen us. JESUS, I TRUST IN YOU! Here I am to submit to Your Holy Will.~Pilar
**** My beloved Father has manifested Himself in my life in such great and beautiful ways. He is the love of my life. Everything I have, including my miseries, all belongs to my Father. JESUS, I LOVE YOU. JESUS, I TRUST IN YOU. ~Gabriela

For me, coming to the Mission is like drinking from a cool, fresh, stream of water. ~Michael
**** Dearest brothers and sisters in Christ, my wife and I have been praying for you since February of 2024. We are dedicated to the Holy Spirit that lives within you each individually and as a community. Our offering comes through the love of your eternal dedication to the service of God's Children in a world and in the state of Holy Mother Church that increasingly denies the right to live in Christ with one purpose: to serve Him and to Him alone as His gift of His Son restored for us through our faithfulness. If that means that we stand against apostasy within our Church, then we stand against it where it is evident. Faith is obedience to God. His revelations have been sent for the purpose of restoring hope for each one of us in a completely fallen world. We stand with you all in our total dedication to God no matter what the consequences may come to be. God's assurance of life in Him is all we are living for. His revelations are an infusion of His own substance. What more dobwe need? Viva Christ's Faithful Souls Now And Forever! ~Bill

I am new to your site but have heard only good things!! I look forward to staying abreast of the work you are doing to restore ALL things to Christ!!! ~ Margaret

It is comforting to find a group of people committed to the Truth, Goodness, and Beauty that come from Our Creator; and also covered by the protective mantle of Our Holy Mother. May the Grace of God continue to guide us all. Blessed are you! "For us, mercy is nothing other than contemplating human misery from the Heart of God, of Christ, of the Holy Spirit." "JESUS, I TRUST IN YOU."~Anonymous
**** I stumbled upon the message of 5/16/25 today, and I feel truth, I feel the father's love and I feel the urge. Only on 5/13/25 I finally consecrated myself to the Immaculate Heart, it is a long story .... Since then and since last year (my first and decisive visit of Medjugorje that brought me back into the catholic church) so so much has happened, has formed me, moulded me (is that the right expression? My mother tongue is German.) I also got the Stefano Gobbi who was told to initiate the Marian Movement of Priests through his Internal Locutions, the "blue book" right after the retreat from an Irish priest in Liverpool. Perfectly taking up the thread where the retreat had stopped.... We have been betrayed, we are being betrayed, and we must pray for our lukewarm shepherds and be disobedient to the sinister ones. To use something as beautiful and important as obedience, in order to destroy the church - so I learned - was the trick from the freemasonry plot, as it was revealed to Pope Paul VI. I will include your priests and community into my daily Holy Rosary that I call my Priest's Kindergarten.... ~Nicole
