What better way to close out the Lenten season, the Easter Triduum and my coverage of the 2024 Worcester Catholic’s Men’s Conference than an interview with a priest from an abbey.
One might have expected more interviews but I was also busy collecting prayer requests for my Your Prayer Intentions show that airs every Saturday at Noon and Midnight on WQPH 89.3 FM Shirley Fitchburg
Today is Good Friday and it is also the first day for the Divine Mercy Novena that runs from Good Friday to Easter Saturday culminating in the Feast of Divine Mercy which always takes place on the Sunday after Easter.
The Novena consists of a series of prayers by which we bring various groups of people before Christ and then praying the Divine Mercy Chaplet (which can be prayed on any standard Rosary). Details on how to pray the Chaplet are here.
Here are the prayers for Day one
Today bring to Me ALL MANKIND, ESPECIALLY ALL SINNERS, and immerse them in the ocean of My mercy. In this way you will console Me in the bitter grief into which the loss of souls plunges Me.
Most Merciful Jesus, whose very nature it is to have compassion on us and to forgive us, do not look upon our sins but upon our trust which we place in Your infinite goodness. Receive us all into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart, and never let us escape from It. We beg this of You by Your love which unites You to the Father and the Holy Spirit.
Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon all mankind and especially upon poor sinners, all enfolded in the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. For the sake of His sorrowful Passion show us Your mercy, that we may praise the omnipotence of Your mercy for ever and ever. Amen.

I have to admit the title of my article is a tiny exaggeration. The disturbance documented in this Breitbart article only pinged irony meters across the United States.
The Biden White House criticized Venezuela’s President Nicolas Maduro on Tuesday for barring the leading opposition candidate from his country’s upcoming elections — after Democrats tried to do the same to Donald Trump.
Maria Corina Machado, 56, won the opposition primary in Venezuela last year and has been favored in the polls to beat Maduro in the July elections, possibly putting an end to the authoritarian rule of Hugo Chávez’s successor.
But the Maduro regime blocked the Democratic Unitary Platform (PUD) opposition coalition from registering its candidate by midnight early Tuesday. Machado’s chosen successor, Dr. Corina Yoris, was also blocked.
The Biden regime exhibited maximum chutzpah when they called out Maduro and his henchman for engaging in the exact same despicable behavior they have been engaging in.
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, asked about the Maduro regime’s actions during a press briefing on Air Force One on Tuesday afternoon, said: “Obviously, we’re deeply concerned by the National Electoral Council’s decision to prevent the registration of … the democratic opposition party’s candidate, Dr. Corina Yoris,.
“We are woring with other members of the international community to ensure that Venezuelans can participate in inclusive and competitive elections and urge representatives of Maduro to allow all candidates to run. We support the will and right of Venezuelans and the Venezuelans’ political parties to select presidentical candidates. We are monitoring the situation closely. ”
She suggested that Venezuela could lose sanctions relief if the Maduro regime did not provide for free and fair elections.
It is painfully obvious to all of us who have not been brainwashed by the mainstream media and our abysmal education system that for the past four years the Biden Justice Department has been orchestrating a lawfare campaign against President Trump to keep him off the ballot in this year’s presidential election. As you can see from this article, the lawfare campaign has not gone unnoticed.
A clear majority of 56 percent believe Joe Biden is looking to win the 2024 election by jailing his opponent, Donald Trump — you know, like Putin does.
The question asked by McLaughlin & Associates is as straightforward as it gets. First, it starts with the facts: “President Trump has been indicted on a total of 91 counts by supporters of Joe Biden and his Justice Department.” Then comes the question: “If convicted of these charges, do you think that Joe Biden wants to stop President Trump from winning the election by putting him in jail?”
A whopping 56 percent said “yes,” while only 30 percent said “no.”
