Well, good afternoon, welcome. Thank you for joining me today. It's a great day to pray. It's the exultation of the cross. And yesterday, believe it or not, was the anniversary of the day that our Lord gave to St. Faustina, the Chaplet of Divine Mercy. And after we prayed the Chaplet today, I do want to talk to you a little bit about it. You may not be familiar with the story that led up to this prayer or what the Lord had promised St. Faustina or how she used it. There's so much to it. You know, you and I tend to pray every afternoon. And I might quote a quote or two from the diary, but the story really is quite magnificent. And I also want to hear from you, maybe after we're done praying. If you've had an answer prayer or miracle as a result of the Chaplet, let's testify to it today.

You can even share how you were introduced to it. Or maybe you introduced it to somebody else and it changed their life.

I think we see profound conversions come from this prayer. But we also see some mind boggling, scientifically defying, miraculous type of healings and miracles that are often testified to. So, always love to hear your stories. And you can join us for the Chaplet on this special day at 888-914-9149.

That's 888-914-9149 to get through. Phone lines will fill up very quickly. Of course, Nick is on social media and he'll take your intentions. So if you say, oh man, I didn't get through, send him a quick post on our X platform. It's simply at Drew Mariani Show. That's at Drew Mariani Show. Follow me at Drew Mariani as well. It's always good to have you with me. And I'll give voice to your intentions. We're streaming on Relevant Radio Plus and on YouTube and on Facebook. And feel free to join us in all of our socials as well. I have a great privilege of praying today with my colleague Brooke Taylor. And Brooke and I will be anchoring the beatification of Archbishop Fulton Sheen in just a week or two from now. So I'm looking forward to doing that with her. Make sure you're tuned in to that as well. Brooke, great to have you back with me. Good afternoon.

Brooke Taylor (2:21)

Good afternoon. Hi, Drew. Happy to pray with you.

Drew Mariani (2:23)

Thanks. I heard you were plugging Relevant Radio. You were at a speaking engagement this weekend. Tell me about it.

Brooke Taylor (2:30)

It was Saturday. What a delight. It was West Salem, Ohio, which is actually nestled in Amish country. So getting off the highway, going through the corn fields and arriving at this little church. But boy, it wasn't little when it comes to hospitality and just the magnanimity of the people. The parking lot was jam-packed, and it was just such a warm and wonderful group. They had a huge cart of ripe tomatoes right when you walked in, and just free for the taking. Or then I thought, well, if my talk is bad, they might be pelted me with these. I don't know, but they were so wonderful. And her name was Elizabeth. At the end, she just wanted to make sure that we talked about relevant radio that I let all the ladies know there, so they could download the app.

So I just want to say hello to the Retreat ladies at St. Stephen's in West Salem. There were a few parishes, I think, also that got together for this event, but it was a gift.

Drew Mariani (3:26)

So were the Amish, was it the Amish who grew the tomatoes? Is that where they were from?

Brooke Taylor (3:30)

Well, I think, nestled among the Amish country is lots of Catholics. So, and they have farms too.

Drew Mariani (3:38)

There's nothing like a fresh-grown tomato.

SPEAKER_4 (3:40)

It's so true. It's the Italian of me.

Drew Mariani (3:42)

You buy some of these tomatoes anymore, and there's like no flavor to them at all. I mean, they're bland, they're colorless in some respects. You get a fresh, home-grown tomato. Oh, man.

Brooke Taylor (3:52)

It's like dessert.

Drew Mariani (3:52)

It is, there's nothing like it. I would sprinkle a little bit of salt on that, and I'm good to go. Yes. It's good stuff. So, well, I'm glad you had a great event. Thank you for plugging relevant and for all that you do there. I know you've had a pretty busy year. Anything you wanna pray for, in addition to the women, anything personally?
