"Jezu, ufam Tobie!"

We are now on the eve of a wondrous Feast of the Church, Divine Mercy Sunday, which tops off this holiest of weeks, the Octave of Easter. He is risen! Alleluia!
There is a deep gratitude in my soul for the Lord and for the Mercy He offers.
My husband and I have been offering the Divine Mercy Novena and chaplet since Good Friday for all the souls mentioned in the Novena, as well, in a special way, for the soul of a man whom we have known for several years who is in his final weeks of life, due to a brain tumor.
Our sister-in-law's step-dad has always been a source of joyous celebration and laughter at Thanksgiving gatherings and other family get-togethers.
We pray fervently for his soul these nine days and as long as he is alive that his soul may be submersed in the infinite Mercy of God. St. Joseph, patron saint of the dying, pray for him! Our Lady, helper of Christians, pray for him! St. Faustina, pray for him!
I imagine his soul basking in the rays of eternal Mercy... (I wish I knew how to place an image of the Divine Mercy here...maybe I'll figure it out! I'm new to this blogging thing! ;)
Jesus, King of Mercy and King of all Nations, have mercy on us! Amen.
