Fr. Seraphim

What is Divine Mercy at its deepest level? It is the love that called us into being, sustains us at every moment, and invites us into eternal communion with Him.

Without Pope St. John XXIII (feast day: Oct. 11), there may not have been Church approval of the Divine Mercy message and devotion. Here's why.

From the archives: Our report from Rome at the canonization of St. Faustina, 25 years ago today. Also, Pope St. John Paul II's big surprise for Divine Mercy apostles on that same day!

This is a special week for the Marian Fathers of the Immaculate Conception: Friday, Aug. 30 is the birthday of the late, great Fr. Seraphim Michalenko, MIC (1930-2021). Without Fr. Seraphim, there may well be no St. Faustina.

What a grace — through receiving Communion in a state of grace and trust in Divine Mercy we are able to receive complete pardon and not punishment! What a special day of jubilee has been given to us by our Heavenly Father.

Remember: The grace of Divine Mercy Sunday is not the end of the journey; it’s just a new beginning for the rest of your life.

The world is in need of healing and there is only one way to receive it. Fr. Chris explains the importance of Lourdes, World Sick Day, February 11, a strong faith, and the role of Fr. Seraphim.

February 11 marks the first anniversary of the death of Fr. Seraphim Michalenko, MIC. He was a man who took up a heavenly mission, helping prepare the world for Christ’s Second Coming by ensuring the spread of the true Divine Mercy message and devotion to everyone.

Father Seraphim Michalenko, MIC, shared his many gifts with the Church and the world. Now, on his birthday, let's recommit ourselves to sharing one of the greatest of those gifts: the Divine Mercy message and devotion.
