DIVINE MERCY MEDITATIONS The Lord spoke to St. Faustina, “My daughter, if I demand through you that people revere My mercy, you should be the

first to distinguish yourself by this confidence in My mercy. I demand from you deeds of mercy, which are to arise out of love for Me. You are to show mercy to your neighbors always and everywhere. You must not shrink from this or try to excuse or absolve yourself from it (Diary, 742). Jesus, I trust in you! Jezu, ufam Tobie!

RELIGIOUS FREEDOM: During Fortnight for Freedom (June 21-July 4th), our liturgical calendar will celebrate a series of great martyrs who remained faithful in the face of persecution by political power – St. John Fisher and St. Thomas Moore, St. John the Baptist, SS Peter and Paul and the First Martyrs of the Church of Rome. Last month, the U.S. Supreme Court unanimously vacated the decisions before it, remanding the cases to the lower courts with instructions to afford the parties the opportunity to work out an alternative approach to the mandate. Let us pray that the State courts prevail in favor of religious freedom. If you haven’t done so already, please voice your opposition to the abortion and contraception mandate by calling President Obama at the White House at 202-456-1111 or U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Sylvia Mathews Burwell at 202-205-5445. You may clarify that the mandate is in violation of our First Amendment right to religious freedom at: www.whitehouse.gov/contact.
