I have just spent the last one and a-half hours reading over your website and it is just beautiful! It is the 2nd time I have visited it. A friend lent me “The Miracle of Divine Mercy” cd last summer when she heard of the personal crisis my family was and is still going through right now. Our situation is very similar to your family’s crisis when your father was wrongly accused of a crime and was sent to prison. The difference is that it is my brother that has been falsely accused and he is scheduled to be sentenced early next month. I listened to the cd prior to his trial in August and it was a blessing, but it also was difficult to hear, knowing we would possibly be going through the same storm. It is so painful to see my brother, his wife and their 3 children, along with our entire family go through this. All I can do is pray and trust Our Lord Jesus to be with us. In prayer, He has assured me that His hand is in this. I am ashamed to say that even with that, my mind still runs away with me and I get scared and feel as if God is silent at times. I worry about my brother’s health ( he had a heart attack in Oct. last year and has been under other stresses since Katrina damaged his home, and he has a daughter with brittle diabetes) and wonder how he will make it through this. I am thankful for the cd you made and I just ordered one through the mail. I know it will help to hear your cd again and to pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet daily. As a side note, my friend, Dottie, who lent me her cd had a religious gift shop in Chalmette that was totally destroyed by the waters of Katrina. When I saw her again in Jan. at the Catholic Charismatic Women’s Retreat in Lafayette, I wanted to return it to her (she and her husband also lost their home, along with most of her family’s homes too and they are now in Houston). When I gave her the cd, it had her store’s sticker on it “God’s Blessings” – and she just broke down in tears to have something she cherished back! I also read your father’s article about the thorn and I will keep him and your family in my prayers. Lately, I have said novenas to Blessed Francis X. Seelos and I will pray to Jesus through his intercession for healing for all of you according to God’s will. Please keep my brother and his family and all of us in your prayers. May Our Father, His Son, Jesus and the Holy Spirit bless you and give you graces abundantly as you spread their love to others.
