Pray for My Priests

"You do not work alone...

In Persona Christi, Sons."

An excerpt from the Message of August 15, 2024, Feast of the Assumption
The Citadel of My Heart

Our Blessed Mother speaks:

Especially on this day I thank you, beloved sons of Mine, Priests of My Son – I know your efforts; I see your humiliations and sufferings; I see My Jesus on His Throne in your hearts and I rejoice in your fidelity and Love.

 And I see how much exhaustion and discouragement you carry – such a heavy weight – at seeing the devastation of all that the Father has created.

My little sons, come and recover your strength in My Love, come and bring Me all the suffering of My children, come and unite your heart to Mine, and like little children, come and rest on My Heart.

I bless you, My sons.  Be encouraged.  You do not work alone; you do not work in vain.  Each prayer, each work will have its fruit.

Remain by My side, do not separate yourselves from Me, and I will always guide you to the Will of the Father, especially when the fog of darkness and of sin becomes thicker and more horrific.  Allow Me to guide you, and by My Hand you will be able to guide My children, feed them, heal them.

IN PERSONA CHRISTI, sons.  At all times, in every circumstance.

You have Me as My Son had Me at His side – at all times.

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.

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

"I heard these words spoken distinctly and forcefully within my soul: 'You will prepare the world for My final coming'." (Diary of Saint Faustina # 429) I have no doubt in my heart and soul that The Mission of Divine Mercy is an integral part of God's plan. ~Joseph

Fr. John Mary, thank you for what you are doing. For your "Yes" to Jesus and Mama Mary. I pray that one day not far away, I can come to your divine mission and attend one of your holy Masses. Please pray for my nephew. He is still saying "No" to Our Lord and I know that he has a calling! We love you Father!!! ~ Anonymous

Thank you, thank you, thank you to Father Juan María, Sister Amapola and every member of the Divine Mercy Mission, for their courageous apostolate that sustains us spiritually. The statement of Saint John Paul II is not gratuitous nor coincidental: “THE DIVINE MERCY WILL BE OUR LAST OPPORTUNITY.” JESUS, I TRUST IN YOU! ~ Pilar

****
I believe! ~Stewart

****
Since I began to pray the Surrender Novena which is pretty much the same as "Jesus, I trust in You", the daily miracles have increased in an astonishing manner!!! ~ Anonymous

****

You are giving me a lot of peace and spiritual understanding. Thank you and God bless this ministry.~Beverly

****
My heart is at peace because of You...~Mary
