Who will deliver the message of Divine Mercy? Your I Phone (App)!
http://thedivinemercy.org
First let us assume the following to be true:
- There is a battle raging as never before on this earth between The Light and The Darkness, Good and Evil.
- “The World” is filled with broken and hurting people with no hope, crying out for Mercy…Divine Mercy.
“With all the messages coming from Hollywood, advertising, media and the internet who will deliver the message of Divine Mercy? Your I Phone (App)!” Greg Kelly, partner K2 Global Communications LLC said. “The accelerated pace of information and technology releases in today’s metro-tech world boggles the mind. We are thankful for The Marians of The Immaculate Conception and The National Shrine of The Divine Mercy in Stockbridge, MA for not allowing the Divine Mercy message to get lost in all the hustle, bustle of the world today.”
The Marian Fathers of the Immaculate Conception, who have promoted the authentic message of Divine Mercy since 1941, are pleased to release the OFFICIAL Divine Mercy App.
This FREE app offers the complete Divine Mercy message and devotion in an easy to navigate format. The app has three main chapters with many features.
“The timing of the new app is perfect. It was only two months ago that the Holy Father spoke of the Church’s need to find creative ways to communicate the Gospel and evangelize in the “digital age.”
Maybe this is Divine Providence at work. Or maybe the Marians are just totally on the ball. Either way, that’s pretty cool. And can you imagine the disciples in Jesus’ time having iPhones or iPads at their disposal to spread the Gospel? They sure would have saved a lot of wear and tear on their sandals. The truth is, while there are many aspects of the digital age that can be harmful and that can jeopardize our pursuit of truth, beauty, and goodness, the digital age is here, and we can’t deny it. We have an obligation to “contribute to maturation in humanity,” as the Holy Father says. Certainly, people use the Internet for impure purposes or as a distraction or a means of escape. That puts the burden on believers to double our efforts to reach them, to communicate and form a dialogue with them, and to inspire them with the greatest message the world has ever known. That’s what Christ calls upon us to do.
You mention the disciples, but can you imagine how happy St. Faustina must be. She must be in heaven smiling upon this new Divine Mercy app?
I was thinking about that throughout this project. Saint Faustina received Christ’s message of Divine Mercy and was told by Him to spread it throughout the world. Following her death in 1938, my Congregation, the Marian Fathers of the Immaculate Conception, became official promoters of the message, and it’s amazing to think of the tools now at our disposal that help us fulfill this mission. In the early 1940s we began our Divine Mercy apostolate by printing prayercards, pamphlets, books, and magazines. First we used a makeshift mimeograph machine and printed literature from our basement here on Eden Hill, in Stockbridge. But we’ve moved with the times. We bought increasingly bigger and more sophisticated printing presses as technology changed and have printed literally millions of pieces of literature. Six years ago, we launched thedivinemercy.org, which has become daily reading for thousands of people around the world. And now this app. This is incredibly exciting for us all. I know St. Faustina has no need for an iPhone, but I sort of wish I could personally show her our Divine Mercy app.”
