Divine mercy is–
Infinite.
Free.
Bold.
Powerful.
Trustworthy.
I am–
A pilgrim of mercy.
You're about to become a pilgrim of mercy. Are you excited? Divine mercy is our destination. Our goal is to have a deeply personal, utterly radical encounter with divine mercy. Along the way, we will learn about God's astounding mercy, open our hearts to receiving it, and discover practical ways to share it with others. But ultimately, this pilgrimage is about encountering Jesus and allowing him to transform our hearts and our minds. Jesus knows we are broken. He knows our lives are a mess. He knows the struggles we have relating to each other. He knows we get overwhelmed, and yet He stands before us, beckoning us to come to Him. If we accept this invitation from Jesus, our lives will forever be changed. He is waiting to heal you, forgive you, and remind you that you are enough. It's time to bring your mess to Jesus and open yourself up to His mercy. The beautiful thing is mercy. It's contagious. So as we encounter God's generous mercy, we have a growing desire to share this mercy, His mercy, with others. A pilgrim of mercy journeys through life sharing kindness, compassion, forgiveness, and love. We live in a world marked by division, judgment, and suffering. A pilgrim of mercy walks a different path, one illuminated by God's grace and guided by the call to bring mercy to others. This journey is not confined to a single destination, but unfolds in everyday encounters, where acts of mercy transform lives and relationships. A pilgrim of mercy begins by recognizing their own need for God's forgiveness. This humility fosters empathy, making us more attuned to the struggles and wounds of other people. A pilgrim of mercy recognizes those who are burdened by guilt, pain, and regret. They do not walk with condemnation, but with understanding, reminding others that our God is a God of second chances. This pilgrimage requires courage and perseverance. It challenges societal norms that value retribution over reconciliation and pride over humility. But a pilgrim of mercy stays the course, remembering that each act of mercy can have an unimaginable impact. Over the next 33 days, I will be praying and fasting for you. I pray this spiritual pilgrimage will be a profound and deeply mystical journey. May the divine mercy of Jesus Christ find a home deep in your soul and remain with you forever. This is his invitation to you today. Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. And Jesus' message to you today is unmistakable. In a world where so many people feel unseen, unheard, and unworthy, Jesus generously proclaims, "I see you. I hear you. I know you. You are worthy. I am with you. I care. I am yours and you are Mine." Jesus wants to enter your heart in a new way, but the door to your heart can only be opened from the inside. It has no handle on the outside. And so the words from the Book of Revelation take on a deeply personal meaning for us today, "Behold, I stand at the door knocking. Will you open the door of your heart?" Trust, surrender, believe, receive.
Are you sick and tired of hearing people say Mass is boring? We want to eradicate those words from the Catholic vocabulary forever. Our Catholic Moments Initiative has already delivered groundbreaking programs for confirmation, first communion, first reconciliation, daily prayer, baptism, marriage preparation, and the fourth quarter of your life. And this year, we're excited to announce we're creating a game-changing program that will transform the way Catholics, young and old, experience the Mass. Nobody who experiences this program will ever say, "Mass is boring," ever again. Everyone knows that Mass is boring. Epidemic is a huge problem. The question is, who's willing to do something about it? If you are a Dynamic Catholic Ambassador, thank you. And this is what we are spending your money on this year. If you are not a Dynamic Catholic Ambassador, become one today, and together, let's eradicate Mass is boring from the Catholic vernacular. Click the button below and choose your welcome gifts today. If you're already an ambassador, increase your gift, and we will send you these exciting new gifts also. Thank you for partnering with us to put an end to Mass is boring. God bless you. And remember, Be Bold, Be Catholic.
Eternal God.
In whom mercy is endless.
And the treasury of compassion inexhaustible.
Look kindly upon us.
And increase Your mercy in us.
That in difficult moments–
We might not despair.
Nor become despondent.
But with great confidence–
Submit ourselves to Your holy will.
Which is love and mercy itself.
Amen.
Amen.
Amen.
See you tomorrow.
Thank you, Ambassadors.
You are changing the world.
Have a great day. Have a great day.
Have a great day!
Hey, Ralph. One of the best ways to be a pilgrim of mercy is to collaborate with God to create holy moments. So I figured while we have a couple of minutes, you could inspire our audience. So tell me, what is today's Holy Moment Challenge?
It is reach out to someone who's going through a hard time
