Divine Mercy Prayer Group

Transcription

1 July 23, 2017 Divine Mercy Prayer Group -Fr. John Williamson For over three years now, The Cenacle of Divine Mercy (cenacle means prayer group) has been meeting to thank and praise God and discuss how to incorporate and live the message of Divine Mercy (from passages in the Diary of St Faustina) into their daily lives. The group is small (7-10 people so far) but powerful. Fr. John has entrusted them to pray for people who are estranged or nominal Catholics, that they may have their hearts touched by our efforts and brought back to the Church. Besides the Monday prayer and discussions, they routinely pray the Rosary and the Divine Mercy Chaplet outside the Route 40 abortion clinic to support the Forty Days for Life outreach and made a pilgrimage to the Franciscan Monastery. The testimonies of Divine Mercy members are compelling: Humbled by God s mercy, we seek to follow Christ and live the joy of the Gospel through love and service. Mission Statement
