July 3 - Our Merciful Jesus was overshadowing our meeting with Fr. Seraphim Michalenko MIC and Fr. Leszek Czelusniak, MIC at the National Shrine of The Divine Mercy in Stockbridge, MA

Fr. Leszek will take the images to the children of all ages in Rwanda in hope of beginning the Family Eucharistic Holy Hour (FEHH) with the school students and families.

July 3 - What a special grace to be with Fr. Seraphim Michalenko, MIC, the priest chosen by God to entitle the icon, pen the inspired teaching and providentially bless the icon and the Vessel of Preborn Jesus.

July 3 - Memorable Mercy Moments on the Holy Ground of the shrine.

July 3 - We attended the shrine's services: Rosary, Adoration, veneration of relics, and Holy Mass.

Fr. Seraphim reminded us that the Gospel for the Feast of St. Thomas is the same that is read on Divine Mercy Sunday.

July 3 - Fr. Seraphim and Fr. Leszek took us on a guided tour of the Shrine of the Holy Innocents, the Lourdes Grotto and statue of St. Faustina.

July 4 - A meeting was arranged with the Shrine gift shop and we received a positive update on the JTDMF cookbook/prayer book sales http://www.jesusthedivinemercy.com/the-cookbook-prayer-book.

Further collaboration is underway with both Preborn Jesus and icon images. Alices’ inspiring prayer cards titled; “Come to Me, all of you...” will now be given as a gift with purchases made through the gift shop.

July 4 - Fr. Seraphim sensed God was giving us a grace-filled moment as he told us the Sisters of Life from New York. were visiting the Shrine to pray for our country on the 4th of July. We joined the Sisters in the Chapel for Adoration, Rosary, Mass and The Divine Mercy Chaplet.

Fr. Seraphim arranged the conference room where we presented the history of the icon and Preborn Jesus. Fr. Leszek shared his story about the 18 foot bronze statue of Jesus The Divine Mercy being transported throughout the Chicago area and then being gifted to the new Marion Center in Rwanda. http://kibeho.org/en/statue_history.php and also how he raised the funds through the coach of the Green Bay Packers to help build a bakery in Rwanda http://www.kibeho.org/en/article.php?NID=4376.

To the astonishment of all, Fr. Seraphim gave several teachings with deeper insight into St. Faustina and the image of The Divine Mercy, and the book he is writing.

Over and over again the Sisters of Life thanked Fr. Seraphim for arranging the providential meeting. They promised their prayers and sharing with Mother Superior (who was not present) about our ministries. We gifted them with several different styles of the icon, various gift items of Preborn Jesus and our FEHH program.

Fr. Leszek decided to collaborate with us after viewing our Family Eucharistic Holy Hour (FEHH) program and The Renna’s instructional videos. He will take the items and program to Rwanda in October in hopes of beginning the FEHH program in the schools and parishes in Rwanda.
