Articles For Heart Mind Soul

For each of the nine days leading up to Divine Mercy Sunday, our Lord gave Saint Faustina a different intention. Starting on Good Friday, March 30, please pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet each day for these intentions:  DAY 1:  All mankind, especially sinners. DAY 2:  The souls of priests and religious. DAY 3: All devout and faithful souls. DAY 4: Those who do not believe in God and those who do not yet know Jesus. DAY 5: The souls who have separated themselves from the Church. DAY 6: The meek and humble souls and the souls of little children. DAY 7: The souls who especially venerate and glorify His mercy. DAY 8: The souls detained in purgatory. DAY 9: The souls who have become lukewarm.

The once  docile, dormant city  of  Centerville  grew aggressively alienated and deeply divided.  Some citizens of  Centerville  treasured the old and traditional; while others trashed the new and modern.  Some  Centerville  residents trashed th...
