Divine Mercy Enthronement

Every human being has two instincts that are basic, fundamental and strong . The first one is hunger the other is sex . God implanted both of these inside of us. It is thanks to hunger that we preserve individual life. It is thanks to sex that we preserve social life. God instilled in us these two desires with the intentions to be used for good, but because of human freewill there is the likelihood of abuse in both instincts. Overindulgence of the hunger instinct it can lead to the sin of gluttony and of health consequences in the body. The same principle can be applied to overindulgence in sex, in that by allowing filth to enter the mind - it corrupts the body in its action and leads the spirit down a dark path. One would not put garbage into the stomach but yet so many put garbage into the mind. Sex and the two trains For example, let’s compare the sexual instinct to the analogy of an engineer and two trains; one a slower paced and the other a faster paced train (Sex instinc...

Where do the greatest miracles take place? Our Lord’s words from the Diary of Saint Faustina: “In the tribunal of mercy [the Sacrament of Reconciliation]... the greatest miracles take place and are  incessantly repeated” (Diary 1448).  I would have never thought it would be in the confessional, but that’s what Our Lord told Saint Faustina. I would have thought it would be some healing service, or I would have to go to Lourdes, or Fatima, or to one of these apparition sites. But, no, Our Lord says in the Confessional. Our Lord Speaks: “ To avail oneself of this miracle, it is not necessary to go on a great pilgrimage or to carry out some  external ceremony; it suffices to come with faith to the feet of My representative and to reveal to him  one’s misery, and the miracle of Divine Mercy will be demonstrated” (Diary 1448). He doesn’t say; go to Medjugorje or Lourdes, or Fatima, but to the confessional. How many of you have been to Medjugorje? What’s the key ...

“But woe to you who are rich for you have received your consolation.”(Luke: 6, 24) “And He called to him the Twelve, and began to send them out two by two, and gave them authority  over the unclean spirits. He charged them to take nothing for their journey except a staff; no bread, no  bag, no money in their belts … and they cast out many demons, and anointed with oil many that were  sick and healed them.” (Mark 6:7, 13) He instructed them to take nothing for the journey, no food, no sack and no money in their belts, which seems like a very odd command. You would think our Lord would better equip his apostles in their journey. What leader in his right mind would send his troops into the battlefield so poorly prepared? Would it not been better if He would’ve supplied them with plenty of food and plenty money for their journey? Our Lord’s command seems impractical and irresponsible. This is why we should pay close attention to it. Where human wisdom fails, divine wi...
