A Visit to the Divine Mercy Shrine | Finding Peace in God’s Presence

The Guardian Angel Who Never Left St. Faustina

In this second episode of the Guardian Angels & Divine Mercy series, we reflect on Saint Faustina’s extraordinary relationship with her guardian angel. Throughout her Diary, St. Faustina describes moments where her guardian angel accompanied her during travel, defended her during spiritual attacks, and remained beside her during a visit to purgatory. These experiences reveal something deeply comforting: heaven is closer to our lives than we often realize. In this episode, we reflect on: • St. Faustina’s encounters with her guardian angel • Diary passages about spiritual protection and guidance • Her visit to purgatory and the longing of souls for God • How guardian angels connect to Divine Mercy • The personal and merciful care God gives every soul This episode also includes a reflective Mercy Moment and prayerfully concludes with the Divine Mercy Chaplet. If you’ve ever wondered whether God is truly near to your life, this episode is a reminder that His mercy surrounds you — often quietly, gently, and through the heavenly companions He gives us. ________________________________________ FIND ME ON: YouTube: www.youtube.com/@divinemercywithopenarms Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/people/The-Divine-Mercy-Other-Prayers-Podcast/61571640040646/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/divinemercywithopenarms/ Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@divinemercywithopenarms **Diary quotations are taken from Diary: Divine Mercy in My Soul by Saint Maria Faustina Kowalska, Marian Press edition.

Your Unseen Companion — What the Church Actually Teaches About Guardian Angels

This is the first episode in a new series exploring Guardian Angels and Divine Mercy. In this episode of Divine Mercy With Open Arms, we reflect on what the Catholic Church actually teaches about guardian angels through Scripture, the Catechism, and the message of Divine Mercy. Many of us learned the Guardian Angel prayer as children and then stopped thinking deeply about it. But the Church teaches something incredible: from the beginning of our lives until the moment of death, we are surrounded by heavenly care and intercession. Together, we reflect on: • Matthew 18:10 and Jesus’ words about guardian angels • CCC 336 and the Church’s teaching on angelic protection • The Feast of the Holy Guardian Angels (October 2) • Why guardian angels are a profound sign of God’s mercy • How God’s care for us is far more personal than we often realize This episode also includes a reflective Mercy Moment and prayerfully concludes with the Divine Mercy Chaplet. If you’ve ever felt alone, spiritually distant, overwhelmed, or unsure whether God is truly close to your life, this episode is a reminder that His mercy surrounds you in ways you may not even see. Stay tuned for future episodes in the Guardian Angels & Divine Mercy series as we continue exploring angels, Saint Faustina, spiritual protection, and the closeness of God’s mercy in everyday life. ________________________________________ FIND ME ON: YouTube: www.youtube.com/@divinemercywithopenarms Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/people/The-Divine-Mercy-Other-Prayers-Podcast/61571640040646/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/divinemercywithopenarms/ Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@divinemercywithopenarms

Can Non-Catholics Pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet? | God’s Mercy Is for Every Soul

Can non-Catholics pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet? In this episode of Divine Mercy: With Open Arms, we explore a question many Christians quietly wonder about.

You’ll also hear: • What the Church teaches about God’s mercy • Scripture reflections including John 3:17 and Luke 5:32 • Why many non-Catholic Christians already pray the Chaplet • A reflective Mercy Moment on trust, healing, and belonging • The Divine Mercy Chaplet prayed together Whether you’re Catholic, Protestant, non-denominational, exploring faith, or simply searching for peace, this episode is for you. ________________________________________ FIND ME ON: YouTube: www.youtube.com/@divinemercywithopenarms Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/people/The-Divine-Mercy-Other-Prayers-Podcast/61571640040646/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/divinemercywithopenarms/ Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@divinemercywithopenarms

A Visit to the Divine Mercy Shrine | Finding Peace in God’s Presence

In this episode, I share a personal visit to the National Shrine of The Divine Mercy — a place of prayer, peace, and encounter with God’s mercy. Through reflections and moments from my visit, we explore what it means to step away from the noise of everyday life and enter into a space where God’s presence feels closer, quieter, and deeply personal. This episode includes a Mercy Moment on encountering God in stillness, along with praying the Divine Mercy Chaplet together. Inspired by the message given to Saint Faustina Kowalska, this time of prayer invites you to bring your own intentions and rest in God’s mercy. Whether you’ve visited the shrine or not, this episode is an invitation to slow down, reflect, and draw closer to Jesus. And just remember, God loves you and you are amazing! ________________________________________ FIND ME ON: YouTube: www.youtube.com/@divinemercywithopenarms Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/people/The-Divine-Mercy-Other-Prayers-Podcast/61571640040646/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/divinemercywithopenarms/ Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@divinemercywithopenarms

Feeling Overwhelmed? Bring Your Intentions to God | Divine Mercy Chaplet Prayer

In this episode, we take a quiet moment to bring everything we’re carrying into the mercy of God. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or like you’re holding too much on your own… this prayer is for you. Together, we reflect on the weight we sometimes carry in silence — the thoughts that don’t stop, the struggles we hesitate to share, and the quiet ache of trying to handle it all alone. But we were never meant to carry these things by ourselves. Through the Divine Mercy Chaplet, we place our intentions, worries, and needs into God’s hands — trusting that He sees us, cares for us, and is already at work in ways we may not yet understand. Jesus said to Saint Faustina Kowalska: “Through the Chaplet you will obtain everything, if what you ask for is compatible with My will.” (Diary, 1731) And Scripture reminds us: “Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.” (1 Peter 5:7) Whether you're praying for yourself, someone you love, or something you can’t even put into words yet… you don’t have to carry it alone.
