WORDS
OF OUR LORD
TO ST. FAUSTINA
“
Souls who spread the honor of My mercy,
I shield through their entire life as
a tender mother her infant, and at the
hour of death, I will not be a judge for
them but the Merciful Savior.”
(Diary 1075) |

THE DIVINE MERCY “Say a Little Prayer” MOVEMENT
The DIVINE MERCY
“Say a Little Prayer” MOVEMENT
(DM-SLPM) – a non-stock, non-profit Catholic lay
organization – was founded in 1985 by
Bro. Don de Castro to answer our
Lord’s call to announce to humanity the Gospel message of His
mercy, and to set forth new forms of devotion to God as Mercy
for everyone, especially for the ones who need it most.
The Movement, with absolute
trust in the Divine Mercy as its very core, took root in the
Philippines, which started in a private home at 19 Spencer
St., Cubao, Quezon City, among a very small group of believers
who heard and reflected upon the words of our Lord. Slowly,
the words reached other ears and hearts.
With the support of radio,
television and print media, the Movement launched the now
widely known “3
O’CLOCK HABIT”
– a moment of prayer every 3 o’clock in the afternoon,
remembering the passion of our Lord in praying for peace for
the whole world. The 3 o’clock prayer is aired daily in
different Metro Manila and provincial radio and television
stations to date.
The Movement is asking that
we, all children of God, say a little prayer each day for the
conversion of sinners and for peace in the world, as our Lord
requested that we pause every 3 o’clock in the afternoon and
implore His mercy especially for sinners, and to encourage
souls to practice works of mercy.
The “Habit” is a minute of
prayer, each day at 3 o’clock in the afternoon, for peace and
forgiveness of sins in our country and the world, taken from
the Devotion to the Divine Mercy, as told by our Lord and
recorded in the Diaries of St. Maria Faustina Kowalska:
“At three o’clock implore
My mercy especially for sinners; and, if only for a brief
moment, steep yourself in My Passion, particularly in My
abandonment at the moment of agony. This is the hour of great
mercy for the whole world… In this hour I will refuse nothing
to the soul that makes a request of Me in virtue of My
Passion, for at that moment mercy was opened wide for every
soul… at that hour grace came to pass for the whole world –
Mercy triumphed over justice”
(IV,59)
DM-SLPM
is a service-oriented Movement with a main objective to
propagate the Message and Devotion to the Divine Mercy, and
perform the corporal and spiritual works of mercy in
accordance with the messages revealed by our Lord Jesus Christ
to a simple Polish nun, St. Maria Faustina Kowalska.
THE DIVINE MERCY TV CHANNEL (DMC)
Media is one of the fastest way to reach
out to souls to come back to God while it is the time for
mercy, and in line with our goal to involve mass media in
spreading the message of God’s love and mercy to mankind and
to reconcile souls with God, the
DIVINE MERCY TV CHANNEL
(DMC) was launched
in February 22, 2002, on the 17th year anniversary of the
DM-SLPM, to be able to reach out to even more souls.
DMC
is currently
broadcasting God's mercy to souls 24 hours a day through video
streaming (internet TV) for FREE ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD,
powered by JumpTv, “The world’s leading destination for
online television,” with subscribers from over 70
countries (To watch, please
click here) and
recently, through America Online (AOL) (To
watch, please
click here), both of
which could be accessed here on our website,
www.divinemercytvchannel.com, for free. DMC is also
viewed through cable carriers nationwide.
Through DMC, we
promote the Message and Devotion to the Divine Mercy. By using
media we can reach out faster to more souls. As
Saint Paul
said, “Faith comes by hearing.” As we hear the word of
God, conversion sets in the soul and good works flourish.
Through the channel we become active partners of the Church in
bringing our Lord closer to mankind, as well as bringing
mankind closer to our Lord.
Moreover, through
DMC we are
also able to bring the Sacraments, especially the Eucharist to
the sick, dying, aged, disabled and even to the imprisoned
who, because of uncontrollable circumstances are unable to
receive and attend the Sacraments. Through DMC, they
are enabled to continue to grow spiritually despite the fact
their condition prohibits them from going to church.
DMC
has also given so much spiritual strength, upliftment and hope
to souls that are longing for God’s love and mercy. By means
of our 24-hour operations, the DMC was able to save
lives and souls from the brink of death by literally stopping
them from committing suicide as drinking poison and the like.
DMC
is able to communicate and enhance a person’s spirituality by
taking advantage of the continuous innovations of technology.
Aside from being able to reach souls by means of conventional
television (cable television), DMC also utilized the
power of the internet wherein anyone anywhere could watch the
channel, also for free, with just their computers and an
internet connection simply by going to our website,
www.divinemercytvchannel.com.
Furthermore, DMC
also saw and made use of the power of the innovations in
telecommunication, specifically MMS and SMS, more commonly
known as “text messaging” by launching “Divine
Mercy in my phone.” This program enables anyone with a
mobile phone to know more about the messages of our Lord to
St. Faustina by receiving daily messages from the Diaries of
St. Faustina by means of simply subscribing by keying-in
“DMC MOBILE” and sending it to 2256. The program
also enables the user to download in their phones various
images such as the image of Divine Mercy and St. Faustina.
With the fast paced
lifestyle and rampant innovations in technology, the channel
aims to bridge people’s hectic and stressful way of life and
their spiritual needs. The channel acknowledges the existence
of modern technology and has utilized it as a means of
reminding people that only through God’s comfort will a man be
able to find peace. Currently, DMC aims to further
capture a wider international arena by linking with
international satellites and fiber optic connections to be
able to reach more souls.
The channel is a clear and
concrete tool used to spread the message and devotion to the
Divine Mercy. What's more is that the channel enables anyone
and everyone who helps spread our Lord’s work and message of
mercy to claim our Lord’s promise that, “Souls who
spread the honor of My mercy, I shield through their entire
life as a tender mother her infant, and at the hour of death,
I will not be a judge for them but the Merciful Savior.”
