There is also a poetry book called The Place Within which has St. Pope John Paul II’s poetry. I gave a copy to my father, who wrote and published some poetry books, and my Dad was amazed at his deep, poetic thoughts.<br />

Sadly, I have not met Pope John Paul II in person, during his pontificate, before his passing in April 2005.

Tomorrow is Good Friday. It is the day that Christ died for our sins. It is also the first day for the Divine Mercy Novena.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;" class="mycode_size"><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;" class="mycode_font">Saint (Sister) Faustina (Helen) Kowalska, through her diary, gave the world Jesus’ words on Divine Mercy, His Chaplet of Divine Mercy, and a very powerful Novena that He asked be prayed especially during the nine days immediately preceding Divine Mercy Sunday. Good Friday (today) marks the beginning of the Novena. In her diary, St. Faustina wrote what Christ told her about the Novena:<br />
</span><span style="color: #ff0000;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;" class="mycode_font">“I desire that during these nine days you bring souls to the fountain of My mercy, that they may draw there from strength and refreshment and whatever grace they have need of in the hardships of life, and especially at the hour of death.<br />
“On each day of the novena you will bring to My heart a different group of souls and you will immerse them in this ocean of My mercy … On each day you will beg My Father, on the strength of My passion, for the graces for these souls.”</span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;" class="mycode_font"><br />
Completing the Novena involves praying the Divine Mercy chaplet daily for that day’s intention.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, serif;" class="mycode_font"><span style="font-size: x-small;" class="mycode_size">From the diary of a young Polish nun, a special devotion began spreading throughout the world in the 1930s. The message is nothing new, but is a reminder of what the Church has always taught through scripture and tradition: that God is merciful and forgiving and that we, too, must show mercy and forgiveness. But in the Divine Mercy devotion, the message takes on a powerful new focus, calling people to a deeper understanding that God’s love is unlimited and available to everyone — especially the greatest sinners.<br />
</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 1pt;" class="mycode_size"><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;" class="mycode_font">The message of mercy is that God loves us — all of us —no matter how great our sins. He wants us to recognize that His mercy is greater than our sins, so that we will call upon Him with trust, receive His mercy, and let it flow through us to others. Thus, all will come to share His joy. It is a message we can call to mind simply by remembering ABC.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;" class="mycode_size"><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;" class="mycode_font">A — Ask for His Mercy. God wants us to approach Him in prayer constantly, repenting of our sins and asking Him to pour His mercy out upon us and upon the whole world.<br />
B — Be merciful. God wants us to receive His mercy and let it flow through us to others. He wants us to extend love and forgiveness to others just as He does to us.<br />
C — Completely trust in Jesus. God wants us to know that the graces of His mercy are dependent upon our trust. The more we trust in Jesus, the more we will receive.<br />

			<description><![CDATA[Hi everyone,<br />
    It's hard to believe that February starts THIS WEEK! Time is flying. Please spread the word about this!  <img src="https://catholichangout.com/images/smilies/Hands.png" alt="Hands" title="Hands" class="smilie smilie_28" /> <img src="https://catholichangout.com/images/smilies/Cross2.png" alt="Cross2" title="Cross2" class="smilie smilie_33" /> <br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">TO ALL THE MEN: </span>A group of us are praying a novena for our vocation. We are going to start another round on the Feast of Saint Joseph (Sunday, February 2). Please invite others who may be interested. Remember that "vocation" can be either the priesthood, diaconate, religious life or MARRIED life. If you are dating someone, then I encourage you to continue the novena until you get engaged. Deadline to join us is February 9.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">TO ALL THE LADIES:</span> There is a group of women praying a similar novena. They are starting their next round in mid to late February. I would be glad to connect you with their leader.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">TO EVERYONE:</span> Everything done is over email. Please email me if you are interested.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Overview of the novena:</span><br />
<br />
Part 1. Novena to St. Joseph (February 2-10) - prayed by EVERYONE.<br />
<br />
Part 2. Novena prayer for our vocation (February 11-XXX) - This is the rotating part. Two of the men will be praying this Novena from February 11-19, then two more from February 20-28, etc.<br />
<br />
In summary, each man will be praying the novena for 18 days during the duration, but someone (actually TWO men) will be praying FOR you the entire time (about three months)!<br />
<br />
What a deal!<br />
<br />
Note: The prayer the first day is the LONGEST for the novena (about 10 minutes). It gets shorter each day. You pray it on your own.<br />
<br />
Questions? Contact me.<br />
<br />
Happy Ordinary Time!<br />
