He Is Risen! Alleluia!

Able to heal. Able to strengthen. Able to renew, rebuild, restore... This humble servant, mighty King, living God, Prince of Peace, turns hatred upside down. Mercy means EVERYTHING can be forgiven. Miracles DO happen. Thank you Lord for the example of your humility, obedience, surrender and trust. Thank you. May you be magnified in the hearts of your people.

Thank you, Jesus, for the ways you renew our hearts as we open them to yours. We say 'Yes' again and again. Let not your suffering, death and rising be in vain for us. Guide our hearts to believe in such a way that our lives are changed for the good, and hearts are converted to your Gospel. Amen!

Here is an example of the image many people ponder as we continue to pray this novena to Divine Mercy.

Our family is still not in our house yet. We leave our driveway this Wednesday as we head East - still in our RV. God is good!
For those of you who want to be inspired to live what most of us claim to believe - here are a couple links to a story about a blind man who evidently was struck by a drunk driver as he was heading to mass and a concert I was about to give in Oregon.
After you read the link - you'll know why I am hoping you join us in praying for this amazing, humble, forgiving man named Norman Larkin.

Happy Octave of Easter and here is the link:
