Divine Mercy Hikes

Divine Mercy Hikes
Hiking and prayer are naturals together. This was the original method of prayer used by the patriarchs. The premise of this book is to guide the prayerful hiker in completing a Novena of Hikes.

Monday, May 30, 2016 Memorial Day

They were seeking to arrest him, but they feared the crowd, for they realized that he had addressed the parable to them. So they left him and went away. (Mk. 12:12)

One way you can show you don't fear the crowd is to make the sign of the cross at every meal and say grace before eating; no matter where you are.

Mark, Chapter 5, Verse 35-36
35 While he was still speaking, people from the synagogue official’s house arrived and said, “Your daughter has died; why trouble the teacher any longer?” 36 Disregarding the message that was reported, Jesus said to the synagogue official, “Do not be afraid; just have faith.”

This is the message of the gospel: “Do not be afraid; just have faith.” All who believe in Christ for their salvation have access to Him at any time.

Memorial Day

Today is Memorial Day and we honor those who have paid the supreme sacrifice of devotion watching our nation. Pray today for the souls of those taken in battle. In the communion of saints it is our duty; no our honor to pray for the souls of those in our company who have died; especially those who have passed through the valley of fear in the heat of battle.

Memorial Day, first established in 1866 to honor Union soldiers of the Civil War, is now a day set aside to remember all of the American soldiers who have died in war in the subsequent 15 decades -- about 1.2 million in all. This number, while representing a tremendous loss, pales in comparison to the number of war-related deaths globally for the same time period. Estimates run from 60 to 85 million for the number of lives lost during World War II alone.[1]

While stationed in Mons, Belgium there is the legend of the Angels of Mons, where it was reported the British soldiers were saved by heavenly forces.

One thing is certain: There are no atheists in foxholes.

To honor our fallen let us stop what we are doing at 1500 hrs (3 pm) and offer the Divine Mercy Prayer for those who have fallen in service of our nation.
