December 11, 2016.mp3 The Gospel of Matthew 11:2-11 continues the story of John the Baptist and his role in proclaiming Jesus Christ as the long-awaited Messiah. We, too, would probably think John was nuts based on how he appeared. John knew his purpose in life. He focused on his mission. But, as he sat in prison John began to have doubts. He sought to know the Truth. Do we hunger for the Truth?

I'd rather focus on the Divine Mercy message that 3 o'clock At any time , within a 24 hour period is the hour of Great Mercy. You can say a quick Chaplet or simply say Jesus, I trust in you if you wake up at 3 am. "For the sake of His sorrowful passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world."
