Dear Friend,


Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! May you be abundantly blessed on this Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God, and throughout the new year.


We had some fun delivering our monthly message. Hope you enjoy it and find it helpful in beginning 2024 on the right path. We've provided notes below and the monthly novena prayers below them, so you should have all you need to get started.


We love being here for you and all who seek to pray for their country, our Church, and families the way Heaven has directed. May God bless us all!


Your Mother of Mercy Messengers,

Dave and Joan Maroney

Dive into the New Year with Momma Mary

We received tremendous responses from our American Saints Series in November and December. You can find the recordings on our YouTube and Rumble Channels if you missed it.


During the online meetings in January, we turn to Our Heavenly Mother to learn about some of her remarkable interventions throughout history to help build confidence in her intercession today. See the schedule below. Recordings will be available on YouTube and Rumble.

Mary, Undoer of Knots Novena - Keep it Going

Thousands joined us in our final novena of the year to Our Lady Undoer of Knots. We hope you were among them! Given all that is occurring in the world, it just seems to be the perfect novena to do, not only at the end of the year in preparation for today's solemnity but at any time.


If you are not familiar with this novena, it takes less than five minutes to pray. The daily intentions go to the core of the world's needs, pleading with Our Lady to untangle all the knots that hinder our peace and holiness: Struggling Marriages, The Addicted, Pastors, Bishops, those outside the Church, the Poor, the Pope, and our Special Intentions . . .


We want to encourage you to make this novena often. You can find the prayers for each of the nine days on our YouTube and Rumble channels. All you have to do is click and pray.

Monthly Novenas for America

Nine Days of Prayer for the USA

Day 1 -January 1, 2024


1. The Litany of the Saints

Make a novena for your country. This novena will consist of the recitation of the Litany of the Saints.  (Jesus to St. Faustina, Diary passage 59)

Order the Divine Mercy for America Prayer Guide containing the Litany of the Saints, the Chaplet of Divine Mercy, and Diary quotes regarding prayer for native lands.


2. The Chaplet of Divine Mercy

I want all the sisters and wards to say the chaplet which I have taught you. They are to say it for nine days in the chapel in order to appease My Father and to entreat God’s mercy for Poland. (Diary, 714)

3. Divine Mercy Holy Hour

Another time I heard these words: Make a daily hour of adoration for nine days. During this adoration try to unite yourself in prayer with My Mother. Pray with all your heart in union with Mary, and try also during this time to make the Way of the Cross. I was to make this novena for the intention of my Motherland. (Diary, 32, 33)

Pray with Fr. Seraphim Michalenko

If it is not possible to make a holy hour with Jesus exposed in a monstrance, do so before a blessed image of The Divine Mercy. Enter into deep prayer with one of the world's leading authorities on the Divine Mercy message and devotion, Fr. Seraphim Michalenko, MIC, as he delivers profound insights and leads prayers from The Divine Mercy Adoration Companion. Recorded live before the Blessed Sacrament.

4. Holy Communions

On the feast of the Assumption in 1934, the Blessed Virgin Mary told St. Faustina: My daughter, what I demand from you is prayer, prayer, and once again prayer, for the world and especially for your country. For nine days receive Holy Communion in atonement and unite yourself closely to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. During these nine days you will stand before God as an offering; always and everywhere, at all times and places, day or night, whenever you wake up, pray in the spirit. In spirit, one can always remain in prayer. (Diary, 325)
