Rays of Merciful Love Spring 2025

Our Cenacle recently moved from St. Margaret Mary Parish in Milwaukee, Wisconsin to St. Agnes Parish in Butler, Wisconsin. Our meetings are on the first and third Thursday of the month, in-person and on-line. St. Agnes is using the Microsoft Teams app for on-line meetings until we can afford Google Workspace. We have finished preparing the Three Holy Hearts Chapel for Eucharistic Adoration. On Thursday we have started the Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. At 3:45 p.m. and at 7 p.m. we pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet with whomever is present in the chapel. After the Chaplet, we have a short procession with the Blessed Sacrament back to the tabernacle in the church next door (for now). The plan is to eventually have 24/7 adoration but ... small steps for now. This year our Cenacle will have its 10th anniversary since it was established at St. Margaret Mary Parish. We were very happy to receive a first-class relic of St. Faustina from Kraków. There are five relics displayed in the chapel currently: St. Faustina, St. Agnes, St. Andrew Bobola, St. Joseph of Cupertino, and St. Michael. We are hoping for many more saints to join us at Adoration and in the function room of the St. Agnes Resource Center (Catholic books and gifts as well as Catholic programs for all ages). If you know of any relics available, please send them our way. At this moment our hands are still full with organizing the great Adoration experience and the Resource Center in the old convent building to provide Catholic faith resources for all ages. With so many private businesses (Catholic books and gifts stores) closing, we are trying very hard to make this parish ministry available to the area and eventually to offer on-line purchase options. We need an army of people praying with the intercessions of our saints as well as an army of people getting involved with donating their talents, efforts, and resources. We’ve come a long way, and have seen and expect more amazing results. 3 CENACLES UPDATE Today, as I write this summary, I have the opportunity to start a new Spanish EADM Cenacle group in Puerto Rico with 12 new members to deepen the EADM mission. I am very happy to receive and guide four married couples and eight more members. Cenacles are continuing to grow in number and spiritually growing for the glory of God. I have been working in the formation of Cenacles and in the preparation of members for consecration as EADM since 2009, beginning in Hartford, Connecticut and extending the mission to Lima, Peru, and now Puerto Rico. In Ciales, the mission arrived in 2015 and currently we have five consecrated cenacles. Two more have begun training with manuals in the towns of Manatí and Vega Baja. We have begun to prepare for the Feast of Divine Mercy by spreading the merciful message to families and the great blessing that we will obtain by properly preparing ourselves to obtain the graces promised by our Lord for each one of us. The Novena takes place for nine days at Our Lady of the Rosary Parish, and we seek to bring people closer to Confession, Eucharist, and doing works of mercy. Our motto is: “For Christ and His Church.” CIALIS, Puerto Rico Maria Virella wrote and told us: MILWAUKEE, Wisconsin Roman Pikula wrote and told us: Tune into ‘Mercy Unbound’ The internet series called “Mercy Unbound” is going strong and has posted more than 150 wonderful interviews from a plethora of guests.
