Only Divine Mercy can save us - Website dedicated to Saint Michael the Archangel and His the devotees. 08/04/2023

Recently one of the well-known theologians has said: “It’s been said that the beauty will save the world (F. Dostoevsky). But we all know that beauty can also lead to ruin. There is only one thing that can save the world – it is mercy.” Why? Why can mercy save the world? Why did Christ, in his revelations to St Faustina, call His mercy the last re- sort, “the last hope for salvation?” And why did He say that if we do not adore His mercy, we will perish for all eternity?...

Message of the Holy Father Francis for Lent 2023 16/03/2023

Hi everyone,

As you may know, Lent is a special season of prayer, fasting and almsgiving that prepares us for Easter. It's also a time to listen to what Jesus wants to tell us through the Scriptures and through others.

That's why we want to share with you Pope Francis' message for Lent 2023, which he released on Feb. 17. In his message, he uses the story of Jesus' Transfiguration as a launching point to address both the journey of Lent.

The pope invites us to "go up" with Jesus to the mountain of prayer, where we can contemplate his glory and hear his voice. He also urges us to "come down" with Jesus to the valley of service, where we can encounter our brothers and sisters in need and share with them the joy of the Gospel.

He concludes his message by reminding us that Lent is a time for renewing our faith, hope and love. He says that these three virtues are like "three flames" that burn brightly in our hearts when we follow Jesus. He also offers some practical suggestions on how we can practice these virtues during Lent.

You can find it here.

Have a blessed Lent!

Message of the Holy Father Francis for Lent 2023 The following is the text of the Holy Father Francis’s Message for Lent 2023, on the theme: “Lenten Penance and the Synodal Journey”:

22/12/2022

"Jesus is the light of mankind shining in the darkness"- Pope Francis. As we approach the upcoming celebration of the Mystery of Incarnation, we would like to wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. May you have the gift of Faith the blessing of Hope and the peace of His Love.

Thomas Aquinas wrote that angels had such a great wish to help people that we cannot even imagine. St Michael wants to help us for free, for nothing, but he acts like a gentleman, he respects our free will. Only when we call on him, does he act with exceptional power and wisdom. Why do we need St Michael? First of all, for a spiritual battle. [ 1,560 more word ]
