Tomorrow, Saturday, September 14 is the Feast of the Exultation of the Holy Cross
*****
September 15 is the Feast of Our Lady of Sorrows. But because it falls on Sunday, the Sunday liturgical celebration takes precedence
Contemplating the Triumph of Love
Exultation of
the Cross
Relic of the True Cross
This excerpt is taken from the previously published Message of
March 22, 2024:
Do Not Reject My Gift
...the Ineffable Love of Our Most Holy Trinity – Love that is expressed in the Gift that I, your Father, give you in My Most Beloved Son, My Firstborn Son – My Jesus – My Living Word, sent to you to bring you My Love, to show you My Face and My Heart, so that receiving My Love in Him, you would return to Me.
Love that is expressed by the Obedience and total Sacrifice – Body, Soul, Spirit, Divinity – of My Jesus, out of love for Me and you, to ransom your souls from the dominion of Satan, to defeat sin in your hearts with His Victory, and to bring to you the balm of hope.
Love that is expressed in the Cross, where Love and Pain are united
in the Most Perfect Offering that makes you capable of receiving the Divine Fire, Our Most Holy Spirit.
You see, children, how – in the midst of the most atrocious betrayal, abandonment, hatred, and blasphemy after blasphemy – Our Action had never been manifested with such Love, Power, and Grace, as in those very dark Hours.
And you see what Our Love for you has accomplished in That Hour.

"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:

We are one with you in seeking the truth. For God is truth even before His Incarnation.~Tom

I am going through a very devastating time right now. I say often throughout the day, "Jesus, I trust in you." I trust that all the pain I am suffering will be joined to the eternal sacrifice offered at Masses throughout the world and will be pleasing to God, that Jesus will have mercy on me, and be with me in the challenges I am facing in my life right now. ~Anonymous

I do not even know how I became acquainted with the Mission. I do remember ordering holy oils and water from a very nice woman on the phone. I am a Catholic therapist, and I passed along some of those sacramentals to a client who was trying to conceive and had a reproductive condition. She did just give birth to a baby girl last week. I know feelings are not facts, but when using your sacramentals, I do feel the love and comfort of Our Lord. Thank you for this Mission and ministry. I hopefully can order more of the oil and water. God bless all of you connected to this Mission and please pray for my family and I. Viva Cristo Rey! ~Anonymous

I pray this prayer, “Jesus I trust in you”, everyday now, throughout the day, especially when things seem difficult. My wife was recently diagnosed with breast cancer and for several weeks we didn’t know how things would go. We trusted Jesus and often times I would pray the prayer, “Jesus I trust in you.” I’m happy to announce that after a successful surgery, my wife is free of cancer. Jesus I trust in you! ~Marty

Please pray for my brother James who is struggling with physical pain, unable to hold a job, and mostly lacks faith in the Risen Lord. Lord have mercy! ~Flaget

I met an angel after my 1st car accident at age 17. I never lost consciousness. I’ll make this short, I had no idea she was an Angel until I asked my mom if she had gotten the lady’s name that was holding me when my mom arrived to the scene. My mom said there wasn’t any woman holding me, that I was alone. The feelings of calm, peace and most of all, complete Love I felt in her arms, I could and can never describe in words. She demanded I leave her and go to my mom when my mom arrived. I refused and told her I wanted to stay with her. The feelings I felt were so comforting I could have remained with her for eternity. Nothing else mattered to me. ~Julie

I don't know if I'll ever be able to meet you, it all depends on the plans God has for me! We live in difficult times but all this is for the arrival of Our Lord Jesus in Glory! My name is Maria Jesus and I am writing to you from Spain. I pray for you and I commend you! God bless you and may Our Mother cover you with her mantle of stars! 🙏🏼~ Maria Jesus

I believe you. We are headed into difficult times and must prepare ourselves spiritually.~ Christina
“Ephphatha! Be open!” The deaf-mute can symbolize the barriers we experience to communication, and the isolation it causes. God breaks down those barriers.
