Surrendering to God's Will for You
This coming Thursday, May 2, our weekly Holy Hour of Adoration will conclude with the Prayer for Healing. During this service, Father blesses each person who comes forward with the Relic of the True Cross. As he touches the person's forehead with the Relic he invites that person to be surrendered to God's Loving Will for them, whatever that may be.
Know that each time your heart turns to God in trust and surrender, it is a victory, not just for you, but for all your brothers and sisters. It is a victory in His Plan.
The Prayer for Healing is offered on the first Thursday of the month.

The Message that we released this week:
"We Have Entrusted Our Words to You."
It can be found under FROM US>MEDITATIONS on our website, or by using the button below.
Rakes are at the ready to spread the mulch under the new addition to St. Joseph Chapel. Thanks to a generous benefactor, we were able to have shade protection installed to shield the overflow crowd from the sun. It makes a big and welcome difference!
Do You Have A Question?
Our publication of the Lord's Messages, and the recent decrees from the Archbishop have raised many questions in the minds of people and many are emailing us. So many, in fact, that we are having difficulty responding to all of them. Father John Mary would like to try answer the most frequently asked questions through FAQs on our website, and eventually through a video blog that he hopes to begin. If you have a question you can send it to: questions@mdm.faithUnfortunately, we won't be able to answer all of them, but we will read all of them.
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 prayer intention or testimony: ******

******* God Bless you and thank you. ~Tina
******* I lived all over Texas and the last place was in Cedar Park north of Austin. I volunteered at Christina Gallagher's house of prayer for about 3 years before it was closed . I am in Salem, South Dakota now. My husband died 16 years ago in Houston. The Lord has been using me. But the weather is so cold compared to TX. That gives me something to give Him. Devotion to Divine Mercy is very strong here. I belong to the Lord. ~Anonymous

I have been hearing Jesus in my heart for many years. I hear His voice through you, in these messages. Thank you! It gives me great strength to keep going . ~Tina

I have visited this community once so far. I loved the reverence of the Mass and the peacefulness that surrounds. Even in the face of persecution, the faithful are offering up prayers for the unjust. I have struggled immensely with despair in witnessing what is taking place in the Church and the US, but to despair is sinful. So many are desperately sick and blinded with evil. We need the truth in love condemning the evil. Pray for the Lord's strength to persevere to the end. Philipians 2:12 So then, my beloved, obedient as you have always been, not only when I am present but all the more now when I am absent, work out your salvation with fear and trembling.* 13 For God is the one who, for his good purpose, works in you both to desire and to work 14 Do everything without grumbling or questioning, 15 that you may be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation,* among whom you shine like lights in the world .~ Anonymous *******
Very comforting, peaceful and hopeful information — God’s blessings on all of you! ~Anonymous
Thank you for considering making a donation in support of the Mission of Divine Mercy. 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.
Another Way of Supporting the Mission: Social Media, Videos and Podcasts
Many people are asking how they can help the Mission as we enter this new time of the Messages. As always, your prayers are the most important!
But another way of helping is by sharing the Lord’s Messages with others. To give the Messages the widest possible audience we are using social media, video streaming and podcasts--yes, we even have a Mission of Divine Mercy podcast site!
And still another way is by leaving positive comments on social media, when you feel you can, in response to comments from those who don't know the Mission at all. We ask you to clear up misconceptions and share the truth peacefully, without engaging in protracted battles. Thank you for your efforts.
These are the current platforms where the Messages, homilies, videos, etc. can be found:
Social Media: Facebook, X, Gab, Truth, Locals and Telegram
