For the Times You Are Facing
NEVER BEFORE SEEN GIFTS AND GRACES
Excerpt from the Message of Sept. 20, 2024 "I Am the Head and the Victory"
"In My Army of Light all the gifts and charisms are present, both human and spiritual, and for each I give the formation and Grace needed to receive them, to offer them to Me, and to use them.
Children, you will see gifts and Graces never before seen, for the times and the situations that you are facing, and will face, will need them.
What is taking place now, children, has not happened before. Do not forget this.
Each time requires its grace, its formation, and the necessary tools to accomplish My Work.

"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 a prayer group of Maria of Divine Mercy following the Book of Truth and we are a place of refuge for the chastisements in France. We want to be informed of the messages received from Heaven by Sister Amapola~ Anonymous

Thank you, we wish to unite with all who say this prayer daily. We need his mercy, and lead all our fallen away Catholics, children, siblings, extended family members, relatives, friends, neighbors, parishioners. We pray for a vast conversion of souls, especially uncatachised people who wander in blindness and indifference to their salvation. We need and hope, and pray for God’s mercy, grace, and interior light for all. ~Anonymous

Thank you Father John Mary for the podcast. The most recent podcast was very helpful in explaining the Mission of the Divine Mercy and to some extent what we need to do during a crisis or problems. Trust, hope and Pray is what we can do. Couple of months ago i found out about your Mission. I believe in Divine Mercy of Jesus. I almost strayed away because I didn't have discernment of the mission. Read several people's comment in regards to the trouble this mission is having. But I didn't leave and I'm not listening to those who say negative things. That's the fog and confusion of these times. I came across a beautiful picture of Jesus under a wave with his hand stretched out-making you feel to put your hand into his. The caption is our Lord saying "Look at Me, not the storm around you." I believe at that time it was meant for me to turn myself around. The storm is all around us and looking at Jesus and trusting in him is what we need to do. So, thank you for sharing the messages and this mission. In all this darkness around us we need his light more than ever. We need him more than ever. ~Joann

A year and half ago I was diagnosed w Stage IV Metastatic Breast Cancer. 2 liters was drained out of my pericardium and 3 tubes were placed in my right and left lung and heart. I keep envisioning the Divine Mercy image. My oncologist said No CHEMO, NO RADIATION and No Surgery. By God's Saving GRACE the tumor just melted and I am healed by his stripes. I had my encounter w the Lord on March 27 and he told me it's not my time and he will use me to testify his healing power. ~Anonymous

I firmly believe what you are saying and realize how fortunate my parish is, being Traditional and even has support of our Bishop, but he has to walk the fine line as he could easily be replaced. I wish you and your group success and hopefully this will be resolved, in a good way, soon. I cannot share our parish at this point, though it is growing quickly, especially with the younger families, when most parishes are losing members. Many of us in the Traditional or Latin Mass churches are aware of the danger this man from Argentina has done, this even though he had one of the greatest "Miracle of the Eucharist" in 1996, when he was a Bishop. ~Steven

In Truth, Beauty, and Goodness zealously preserve the Deposit of Faith and prepare hearts, minds, souls for the Reconquest. For Gods grace and mercy bestowed upon Veritatis Splendor. Especially for the strength and protection, guidance and love over the bodies and souls at Mission of Divine Mercy. ~Kathy
Divine Mercy is given especially for our times, with their sin and suffering. What light does it shine on the severe words of today’s Gospel? And on our struggles?
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.
