I got the privilege of praying the Divine Mercy Chaplet at the hospital bedside of my Mum before she died. I can vouch of their efficacy and power. Grace upon grace. I too will pray for your sister. Do not be surprised if she survives.
Sometimes God not so much tap you on the shoulder as sits on your head. I had not been in touch with for years because I did not approve of the relationship. Anyway her 'boyfriend', well let's say ..I wasn't happy with him. The last time I saw him I went to slug him but was pulled off.
Praying for Ethne. You expired, Jesus, but the source of life gushed forth for souls, and the ocean of mercy opened up for the whole world. O Fount of Life, unfathomable Divine Mercy, envelop the whole world and empty Yourself out upon us. O Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a fount of mercy for us, I trust in You! (Repeat three times)
I had not really spoken to my sister or her , 'boyfriend' for o many year until last night. A very holy nun one time, regarding this said to me. 'You do not change people by refusing to talk to them'. Still I could not do it. ..and so the years rolled on. But last night after years of prayer, very quickly , right out of the blue I rushed to do and did so joyfully. Just when it was needed. A Miracle. Anyone who tells me there is no God is a Damned Liar. For God just sat on my head last night. I felt Him there.
Years of quiet anger gone in an instant, just when it was needed. The odds must be billions and billions to one. Just at the exact right time. A miracle. An astonishing miracle. But after many, many years pf praying.
Today Jesus said to me, I desire that you know more profoundly the love that burns in My Heart for souls, and you will understand this when you meditate upon My Passion. Call upon My mercy on behalf of sinners; I desire their salvation. When you say this prayer, with a contrite heart and with faith on behalf of some sinner, I will give him the grace of conversion. This is the prayer: (Diary, 186). “O Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a fount of Mercy for us, I trust in You.” (Diary, 187). Praying for your sister, padraig
you know I could write that story from my own book of life..my own son is in the position you are in his sisters boyfriend has caused such a split in my family same story ..my son retaliated the same way and now hasn't spoke to his sister in three years..we are quite lucky because our own daughter has just started speaking to us again..thanks to the prayers of Terry (Mario).. it most certainly is a grace from God to bite ones tongue and keep calm... Lord grant me the serenity ..... My own experience of getting whacked on the head involved a great insult to me I actually choked every time I prayed the Our Father my mouth actually dried up at forgive those who tress pass,,I couldnt say it for a year or two then one day I had the grace to forgive lol I remember shouting those words out loud in mass to the bewilderment of a few people .... God Love for sure...
ohhh you are so right Padraig! Death is nothing! Eternal death is everything! This may bring her back to the church.
Good morning Padraig. I am just reading this now. I am heading out to do an hour of Adoration shortly and will bring your dear sister Ethne before Our Lord.
