Chaplet of Divine Mercy and Apparitions in Champion

SPEAKER_1 (0:00)

This hour of The Drew Mariani Show is made possible in part by The Knights of Columbus. Visit kfc.org.

Todd (0:17)

Well, good afternoon. Welcome.

Drew Mariani (0:20)

Thanks for joining me. Let's pray the chaplet. Let's pray for our country. Let's pray for this next generation. Let's pray for peace in the world. Let's pray for you, whatever your intentions are. It's such a unique and special time. We can come together like this and pray for one another. It's not just my prayers and yours, it's people coast to coast, literally around the world. So if you never prayed the chaplet before, don't worry. We're going to leave it here. I'm going to be in studio with one of my colleagues here. Just follow along, open your heart and say, Lord, you don't have to be Catholic. We're invoking the great mercy of God. So wherever you are, whether you're home or you are in your car, you're listening at work, give a few minutes to God right now. Believe me, it's a sacrifice. I know we're all busy, but God will honor that sacrifice and bring those intentions weighing down in your heart, those names, faces, situations that might even be impossible. There is nothing that is impossible with God. I love that quote from the Gospel of Luke, when the angel Gabriel appears to Our Lady and tells her, with God, all things are possible. And that is true. Anyway, it's great to pray with you. All right, the way to get in, and phone lines will fill up. I'm gonna give you the number right now, 888-914-9149.

That's 888-914-9149, and I'll try to take a few extra calls today if I can. Nick is gonna be on our board taking your intentions at all of our social media, and you can reach, if you don't wanna come on the air, you could certainly just send them to him on our ex account, and it's at Drew Mariani Show.

Follow me at Drew Mariani. Follow us on all of our social media. We're streaming live on Facebook, YouTube, and Relevant Radio+. I've got the great privilege of praying today with one of my colleagues here, and Helen is, as I said before, very vivacious and bubbly, and always brings a lot of joy. Great to have you with me today.

Helen (2:13)

Thank you. It's always an honor to be here. I'm just feeling very, very grateful and blessed to be a part of the team this morning. I was able to attend a funeral for one of our colleagues' mother-in-law.

And she was actually a former teacher of mine. Yeah. So seeing a lot of old classmates, and it was a beautiful funeral mass, and all throughout, especially funeral masses, you're very conscious of our Lord's mercy in a St. Faustina type way, where you don't want God to be a just judge at the end of your life. You would always say it, a merciful Savior. Yeah. So I would just like to pray for the repose of the soul of Janet and her entire family and those who mourn, and that one day that they can all be reunited.

Drew Mariani (3:10)

You don't know the day or the hour. I was watching that flight that was hijacked recently. I think you get on that flight, you're airborne, you think, hey, in a few minutes we touch it down in Tel Aviv and that's fine. And before you know it, the plane is plummeting 17,000 feet. It's almost Mach 1

And you think you're going to die. And you could have died in that situation. But you don't know when you get in your car and you drive home or whether the heart goes or you just don't wake up. You have to be right with God. You always have to be right with God.

Helen (3:41)

So Jesus, I trust in you.

Drew Mariani (3:43)

Amen. That's what life's about. We're only given so many seconds.

Our Lady had said in one of her very famous apparitions that life is just a short walk. And I love it. I think it's such a great description. I like a short walk.

SPEAKER_6 (3:56)

Because I take walks, right? You take a walk down. I'm going to take a long walk, right?

But I like a short walk.

Helen (4:02)

Short walks are good.

Drew Mariani (4:03)

Especially on a cold day.

Helen (4:04)

Not a hike. A short walk in the woods.

Drew Mariani (4:06)

That's what life is. Life is nothing but a short walk. Anyway, it was great to be with you. We went to the Sheen Awards too. That was a lot of fun. That was so much fun. That was unique.
