Brothers of the Divine Mercy
The Apostles of the Divine Mercy Brothers are called to do a two-fold work of mercy: PLEADING: God's mercy on the Church and the world by prayer and Eucharistic adoration; PRACTICING: mercy to the needy, counseling the doubtful and homeless. The VISION of the Community is to practice God's mercy, to implore, teach, and to administer mercy—that God's infinite mercy may be known and accepted by all, that "God may have mercy on all of us." [Diary, #378] Our specific purpose is to commit ourselves to the service of the Church through pleading and practicing God's mercy to those in need of his mercy. Our prayer is Eucharistic. Another form of intercession for mercy is to allow God to be joined in the presence of the suffering. The chaplet of Divine Mercy is our special way of pleading for God's mercy on the Church and the whole world. "I am proposing to you three means of exercising mercy toward your NEIGHBOR; the first is DEED; the second is: WORD; the third is: POWER." [Diary, 742] The Apostles of the Divine Mercy Brothers submit to the Holy Father and the magisterium of the Church in all matters of faith, morals, and discipline in our lives and ministry. We seek to be loyal to the Church and orthodox in our teaching and practice. Jesus Christ our Lord is the foundation of our community life. CONVERSION is a daily turning to Jesus, confessing Him as our personal Savior. CHARISM is the gift of daily turning to Jesus, confessing Him as our personal Savior. COMMITMENT is primarily the gift to the Lord God. The more mutual commitment to the Lord Jesus Christ is the more a common-union-in Christ. Just in Jesus is the virture that is the foundation and essence of those desiring to live the Divine Mercy Brothers. Trust in faith is action. True peace will then reign in our hearts. So as you walk in this valley of tears, trust in the vessel with which we are to keep coming for graces to the fountain of MERCY.
Charity is the theological virture by which we love God above all things. Jesus made charity a demand when he said," This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you." [JN 15-12]
You are to see the the beauty of life and creation in each individual, especially the marginalized of today [DISABLED, ELDERLY.DYING, ORPHANED, POOR,etc. ]
Our call to serve Christ and His Church and our love of Mary Immaculate, the Mother of God, impel us, as Apostolic Brothers of the DIvine Mercy, to be prophetic bearers of God's merciful love, especially to people in greatest need.
You ask how one can recognize God's will. As yourself well know, God very rarely reveals His holy will directly,. through HIMSELF. Generally, God draws unto this or that way of life through holy desires,affections,aspirations.propensities. longings, and so on, which He creates and arouses in our heart; further, through various events in our life, through all kinds of circumstances. I fall at the feet of the Blessed Virgin Mother, mother of God, And I surrender to her, myself and our entire small to be Community of her Immaculate Conception for eternity, invoking her graces direction and effective protection.
To serve where the need is greatest...
Living with men who love Our Lady and spread the message of DIVINE MERCY is a special gift for our times. Going to Jesus through Mary is key to Divine Mercy spiritually. The IMMACULATE CONCEPTION OF MARY means the world to us
The Apostolic Brothers of the Divine Mercy take the time to help a candidate interested in joining the community to discern his call, FORMATION is the process of gradual initiation and instruction in the Divine Mercy Brothers.
In 1995, our Lord gave us His vision for the Apostolic Brothers of the Divine Mercy Brothers. He has shaped our life in the following. The Apostolic Apostles of the Divine Mercy Brothers are a new community of men seeking to fulfill this Gospel command of mercy and need you men who are interested in this semi-cloistered life.
We have heard from numerous dioceses and now it is up to you. If you want to spread the Divine Mercy to the HOMELESS and MERCYLESS and PRAY before the Eucharistic Adoration along with the laity, than contact: chasrose099@suite224.net
