A Prayer for the Sick and Dying


The Chaplet of Divine Mercy

What a truly powerful prayer!

When I prayed the Chaplet of Divine Mercy for my mother, never did I realize the graces she would soon receive.

Never did I realize the graces I would receive!

How blessed we are to have an awesome God Who loves us unconditionally.

His mercy is unfathomable!

Pray for those who may die today, especially those who have no one to pray for them; that God will show them His mercy and His peace.

Jesus, I Trust in You!

Now is the Time for God's Mercy


God's Mercy and The Chaplet

God wants to see fruits in our lives. He wants us to make it known to all those we love that His mercy is endless!

At the time of my mother's death, I was not totally aware of the mercy of God and the Chaplet of Divine Mercy.

A friend introduced the chaplet to me and I prayed it at my dying mother's bedside. She opened her eyes and shared with us her amazing visions of Heaven.

My mother's death opened my eyes to the reality that Our Heavenly Father is waiting for us.

Heaven is real and God wants all of us to live with Him for all eternity!

But God needs our help.

We can be great apostles of His mercy by:

A) Performing acts of mercy everyday through deeds of kindness to others
B) Spreading the Mercy of God to our family and friends through word
C) Praying for God's Mercy for ourselves and the whole world

By doing this, God can and will work miracles!

Now is the time.

God needs us to help Him embrace our world with His mercy.

May we all delight ourselves in the healing rays of God's mercy!

God's blessings,

At Time of Death, God's Mercy is Greater!

The Gift of God's Mercy

A friend of mine's husband passed away very suddenly a few days ago and she said to me...

"Kathy, I am worried. I don't know where his soul is? Is he in Purgatory? Is he suffering terribly?"

My answer to her was this, "God's mercy is greater!"

We do not know for sure, where our loved one's soul is upon their death, but we should be rest assured of one thing...God's mercy is unfathomable!

God's mercy is beyond our comprehension!

If we completely trust in God's love for us, then when we die His mercy will be endless!

God knows all things. He see's all of our prayers for all of time!

Pray for those who have gone before you.

Pray for your parents.

Pray for your spouses or children.

Pray for your friends or relatives who may have gone before you.

When you are united to them again, they will thank you!

Ask God to have mercy on their souls.

God wants all of us with Him in Heaven.

Pray a Chaplet of Divine Mercy for those souls who may die suddenly today...that God may be their Merciful Savior.

Then trust in His mercy, for it is great!

God bless you always,

A Reflection on My Mother's Death

"I am not afraid to die..."

The greatest gifts my mother gave to me were her visions of Heaven at the time of her death as well as her deep faith in God. Through all her trials and tribulations, this omnipotent and merciful God was her strength.

As Mother's Day quickly approaches, I cannot help but remember some of her last words to me before she died.

"Kathy, remember I told you I was afraid to die?", she said.

"Yes Mom, I do.", was my reply.

"Well, I'm not afraid to die!", she expressed after revealing her visions of Heaven.

I was so happy for my mother... her greatest fear was no longer a reality!

Through His mercy, God had granted my mother the grace of a peaceful death.

My prayer is that God in His mercy will bring a peaceful death to all of those you love.

If you seek His will and ask for this amazing grace, God will shower His Divine Mercy upon you.

You need only ask... and you will receive.

God bless you always,

God and His Mercy!

Mercy is a Grace...

God, in His unfathomable mercy, has allowed us to be witnesses to His mercy.

My mother, at the time of her death, was able to verbally tell us of her visions of Heaven. It was an amazing story that had to be told.

This great gift from God is now spread to all areas of the world. Whoever is willing to be open to hear of God's goodness, will experience His mercy.

May you be enriched with God's love and may you be blessed with many treasures of His grace!

God be with you,

A Mother's Gift


A Mother's Gift to Her Children

"My mother was a witness to the realism of Heaven. It is a beautiful place prepared for us by our merciful God who loves us unconditionally. Moreover, it is a place that, at the time of our death, we will hopefully yearn for; a place where we will again greet loved ones who have gone before us and a place we will call our eternal home with God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit."

"We will not be afraid, for Jesus promises that we will never be alone on this journey home. My mother was living proof of this. He remained with her, as well as everyone else who was in her room the night she died."

"Heaven is real, and God wants all of us with Him in eternity. However scarlet our sins may be, He stands before us with open arms, waiting to grant us forgiveness. May we all delight ourselves in the healing rays of Gods omnipotent mercy!" (Taken from Open My Eyes)

My mother left us a beautiful gift...the realization of Heaven through her visions, thanks be to God's mercy!

March 30th is Divine Mercy Sunday. Please take advantage of all the graces God is willing to give you. The graces come through receiving the Eucharist worthily on this day, meaning, you need to be in a state of grace (no mortal or venial sin on your soul).

Jesus loves you so much. May His rays of mercy shower many graces upon you!

Jesus, I Trust in You!

Answering God's Call

What are you calling me to do Lord?

In St. Faustina's diary she refers to a group of people living outside the convent and monasteries who will pray and perform at least one act of mercy each day.

"Anyone in the world may belong to this group," St. Faustina said, "without any obligation of taking vows," they "will have a share in all the merits and privileges of the whole congregation." (Diary 1157)

If you implore God's mercy every day, perform acts of mercy and pray for the whole world, then you are an apostle of God's mercy. Being an apostle of Divine Mercy means giving witness in our lives as to how we trust in God and show mercy towards our neighbors.

The world is in desperate need of your prayers for peace and healing through the mercy of God.

May you continue to answer God's call to spread His Divine Mercy!


God be with you,
