In this three-part series of posts, the Emmanuel Community in the Philippines share some testimonies from their pilgrimage to the World Youth Day in Poland this summer.
This sharing is from Mary Ann, a 30 year old Filipina. She says,
“Beyond blessed to have the chance to be a pilgrim in Poland, at a time when my soul needs it most.
I would like to share this photo. I got it from the chapel of the Divine Mercy. A gentle reminder that God’s providence is certain. When I feel lonely or stressed of pressing concerns at work or home. It gives me a sense of assurance that He is in control and all I have to do is to rely on the Maker’s hand.
And lastly grateful to have been connected to these wonderful souls, in a most beautiful part of this world.”
The text in the photo from Divine Mercy chapel reads:
Always fight with the deep conviction that I am with you (…)
I will not delude you with prospects of peace and consolations; on the contrary, prepare for great battles.
Know that you are now on a great stage where all heaven and earth are watching you. Fight like a knight, so that I can reward you.
Do not be unduly fearful, because you are not alone.
Jesus (Diary, 1760)
