St Mary’s Divine Mercy Devotion
In February before a capacity attendance in the RDS at the Divine Mercy Conference, Fr Pat Collins called on all faithful followers of Jesus to pray fervently for the Church and the whole world in these troubled and dangerous times. The Christian message is to love God above all else, and to love our neighbour as we love ourselves. This is being increasingly ignored and rejected. More and more, the world is ignoring God and attempting to rewrite the Ten Commandments to suit its own sinful ways. The Church is being persecuted in many countries and from within itself.
Pope John Paul II, Pope Benedict XVI, and Pope Frances have in turn sounded the alarm about the direction society was taking by ignoring God. As it continues unabated, all three Popes warned that unless the world repents and changes its ways major catastrophe and suffering is inevitable.
We must pray earnestly, on our own, in our families and with others for change to come in the world. By turning away from evil, and instead turning to God, repenting and seeking His Mercy for our sins and the sins of the whole world.
We must not doubt the value of prayer. Prayer is the only thing that will avert inevitable catastrophe and suffering.
Divine Mercy devotion is held in St. Mary’s Church each Wednesday after 10am Mass (unless there is a funeral).
