Divine Mercy Sunday

If We Are The Body (ABC’s)


Jesus said, “All of you have been called to My work of salvation, fathers and mothers, learned and ignorant, the well and the sick. All can work for Me, the free man and the one suffering in prison. What is important is the availability of the soul and the spiritual freedom which constitutes the culture of the soul.” (Jesus) (May 24, 1963)


Today’s Readings: Yet more than ever, believers in the Lord, great numbers of men and women, were added to them. Thus they even carried the sick out into the streets and laid them on cots and mats so that when Peter came by, at least his shadow might fall on one or another of them. A large number of people from the towns in the vicinity of Jerusalem also gathered, bringing the sick and those disturbed by unclean spirits ,and they were all cured.(Acts 5)


Prayer Meditation- Lord, sometimes we can wonder as we read the Acts of the Apostles, why does it seem that the Church is not healing and not converting? There is a Casting Crowns song, if we are the body, why aren’t His Arms reaching, why aren’t His Hands healing, why aren’t His Words teaching? The answer Lord is found in the ABC’s of Divine Mercy and we can begin today- Ask for mercy, Be merciful, Completely trust in Your Divine Mercy! Lord if even a few of us, no matter our state of life, lived the ABC’s in deeds as we are able, words, and prayer the Gospel will indeed be reaching, healing and teaching through us!

Carried In Her Arms — February 11, 2025

Our Lady of Lourdes

Carried In Her Arms

After this, I was in such a state of mind that I almost did not have strength to walk. I felt that physical strength was no longer needed; only the strength of my soul carried me with the Blessed Virgin to travel the dark paved roads of Bethlehem.(August 31, 1962)

Today’s Readings: As nurslings, you shall be carried in her arms,
and fondled in her lap;
As a mother comforts her child,
so will I comfort you;
in Jerusalem you shall find your comfort. (Isaiah 66)

Prayer Meditation- Today we honor the Blessed Virgin Mary in her title as Our Lady of Lourdes. The Immaculate Conception came down from Heaven to a young girl to teach us, heal us, and restore us! There are times Lord that can be so tough- illness or caring for those who are ill. We can feel so overwhelmed. And yes we want healing but sometimes what we really need first is to be heard and to be held because the road can seem so dark. And yet Lord, Our Blessed Mother traveled many dark roads and she knows what it is like to be totally emptied of strength in the natural and yet Her Strength of Soul because of Her union with You at all times carried Her through. And She wants to carry us through, Her children, and bring us to Your Comfort and Peace which surpasses all understanding! (Philippians 4:7). Our Lady of Lourdes please intercede for us for physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual healing in Jesus Name!

Only Say The Word — December 2, 2024

Only Say The Word

Monday of the First Week of Advent

Only Say The Word

“I tell you and I promise with My Divine Word that whenever you pray for someone, you will never be refused, because the drops of oil of your sacrifices not only fall on the lamps of souls, but also upon My wounds which burn with fever. (Jesus) (April 12, 1965)

Today’s Readings: The centurion said in reply,
“Lord, I am not worthy to have you enter under my roof;
only say the word and my servant will be healed. (Matthew 8)

Prayer Meditation- Lord, today we meet the centurion who like us is totally unworthy to receive You but who hopefully like us has faith that You can heal by just one Word! Because one drop of Your Favor is all that it takes to turn any situation around. So let us pray boldly and with confidence, unworthy though we are, because You want our healing and the healing of our loved ones more than we do! Lord I am not worthy that You should enter under my roof but only say the Word and my soul will be healed!
