Let's pray the Chaplet of Divine Mercy.

And let's call upon St. Papchinsky, founder of the Marians. Let me give you, I'll tell you just very quickly, two quick stories regarding the power of his intercession. We pray for all sorts of stuff, right? We pray for miracles here. And I always tell you, do not limit God. Why would you do that, right? He's the creator of the universe, of all the trillions of galaxies. I mean, are you kidding me? You know, why do we put God in a box? Well, why do we think, oh, my problem's too big, and the doctor says it was stage four pancreatic cancer. You don't understand, Drew, they're foreclosing on me. There's nothing I can do. There's no way that money's going to come in. Look, there's no problem. That's no situation. There's no obstacle that God cannot remove and set right. And I love it because he gives us the lives of these great saints. And today, like I said, thank God for Blessed Paczynski, St. Paczynski, because from his order came some of these great priests who risked a lot to bring the message of divine mercy to this country. And this has now become the fastest growing grassroots devotion in the history of the church. And we're about to pray.

One of the first miracles that involved Blessed Paczynski was that of an unborn child, very much like Bishop Sheen. And you hear a lot of these types of testimonies, right? That child was declared dead by doctors. His heart stopped beating for several days. All right? Several days. So the child's family, they began praying in Ovina to Stanislaus. And to the absolute astonishment, to the bewilderment and to the medical community had no explanation, the child's heart miraculously began to beat again. And the child was born in perfect health. I mean, the child was dead.

Several days, no heartbeat. Second miracle, the one that led to his canonization, led to his sainthood, involved a young woman in Poland, and she was suffering a respiratory illness. And they did everything they could for her. They gave her all sorts of treatments. And unfortunately, her condition just continued to deteriorate. It worsened to the point where her lungs had been totally destroyed. So they were going to remove her from life support and let her die. It was holy week, tremendous despair. Her mother was just devastated over this. So the mother decided to pray. And she decided to turn to Blessed Stanisław Papciński.

By the ninth day of the novena, this woman whose lungs had been totally destroyed, who had been so near death, was fully healed. Her lungs, which doctors could not explain, were totally restored.

And in the testimony that was written, they said it resembled those of a newborn child. So this miraculous recovery had no scientific explanation. 2016, Pope Francis declared Stanisław Papciński a saint. Today is his feast. I want to remember him. Powerful reminder to me personally of the intercessory power of these saints, right? We can turn to saints in times of need. When science says one thing, the metal community says one thing, when your bank account says one thing, right? When your kid or your spouse says one thing, there's a power in prayer, and there's a power in the community of saints. And we'll call upon not just St. Faustina, but we'll call upon Stanisław Papciński here as well. And the souls of Purgatory, because there's a whole other story associated with it when it comes to the souls. But if you want to join us, here's how you get into the chapel today.

Hi, Drew. So Drew and I ate lunch together. And boy, oh boy, I don't think either one of us stopped talking. We had to switch chairs so that we could both carry our own conversations. We had to fight for talk time. Yeah.
