Bernadette and Pat traveled 2 hrs. in the car with Br. Tim from The National Shrine of The Divine Mercy in Stockbridge, MA. The holiday traffic was heavy but the conversation was great as we shared JTDMF and Br. Tim's conversion and call to the priesthood.

On Tuesday, April 28, Feast of St. Louis de Montfort "Bernie's favorite saint," we arrived in Roma and continued our pilgrimage with the Icon and picked up tickets for the Wednesday Audience. We took the icon to JESUS The Divine Mercy, Our Lady of FATIMA, St. Faustina and St. John Paul II at the Polish Church and ended at St. Louis de Montfort Church for Mass. On Wednesday, April 29, 2015, we attended the Pope's General Audience in Vatican City. Afterwards, we met with Fr. Geno Sylva, Pontifical Council for the New Evangelization.

On Monday, April 27, 2015 , our angel, Donato, picked us up in Bari, Italy, and Pat and Bernie presented the image to the following: 1. Luisa Piccarretta for her 150th anniversary in Corato; 2. St. Michael Cave where several miraculous apparitions occurred, most notably, his giant footprint under the altar; 3. Padre Pio in San Giovanni Rotondo; 4. St. John Paul II Policlinic for ill children. We prayed, presented rosaries to sick children, their families and staff, especially Pasqualle and Antonio!!

Arrived on Friday, April 24, 2015. On Saturday, April 25, our day began with Holy Mass at St. James Church in Medjugorje. Then the 4 hr. climb up Mt. Kreiz, "Virgin Mary of Nazareth, Ark of The New Covenant, Throne of The Divine Mercy Incarnate." People from all over the world were touched by this icon. We prayed the Rosary, sang songs, prayed and sang the Divine Mercy Chaplet. When we arrived at Fr. Slavko Barbaric's tomb, Pat's camera would not work and so we were delayed, and, during that time, met many individuals who were touched by the icon and asked for our prayers. Providentially, we arrived at the White Cross at 3 pm!! See amazing photos of the sun! We prayed for all our friends and family. On the descent, we realized we did not take photos of our cookbook/prayer book and The Rennas CD of "Kids Sing The Divine Mercy." But our God of surprises provided us with the miracle photos to end this glorious day by confirming Heaven's desire to use this precious icon for the Glory of God and His unfathomable Divine Mercy. His Shekinah Glory came down upon Mary, Ark of The New Covenant as it came down upon the Ark of the Old Testament!!
