Another diocese has joyfully opened its doors to the message, devotion, apostolate, and spirituality of the Divine Mercy!
With deep gratitude, we witnessed how the Lord of Mercy continues to win over hearts, most especially His shepherds.

From the hearts of our bishops, this grace now flows outward โ to their priests, their parishes, and soon, to all the faithful. Truly, the day is near when countless souls in the beautiful ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ฐ๐ฒ๐๐ฒ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐๐ฎ๐ฏ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฎ๐๐๐ฎ๐ป will be immersed in the ๐ข๐ฐ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ป ๐ผ๐ณ ๐๐ผ๐ฑโ๐ ๐ ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฐ๐.

The recollection day was filled not only with inspiration but also with fraternity and joy. After the two formation talks given to the clergy, a hearty lunch and a long, happy kwentuhan followed โ moments of grace, reunion, and renewed brotherhood.
Fr. Nic Rodriguez, our speaker-facilitator, was blessed to reconnect with his former UST clergy brothers. Our NLDMP lay coordinators, Bro. Ray and Sis. Jen Apoderado, also joyfully met with Divine Mercy lay leaders, including Sis. Chu B. Rivera, seen in the photos. Our Divine Mercy youth leader, Jaiden, generously assisted throughout the day.
Though Fr. Jeff Habado and Bro. Advin were unable to join us, their presence was deeply felt in spirit.
We also rejoice in the appointment by Bishop Jun of Rev. Francis Maranan, soon to be ordained, as the new Divine Mercy Spiritual Director of the diocese.
Also in the photos were Rev. Fr. Sedfrey Calderon, Rev. Fr. Reynold Oliveros, Fr. Ariel Musngi, and many other beloved clergy who opened their hearts to this call.
