We ask all to read an important statement regarding the Messages, crisis in the Church, and Archdiocesan sanctions against MDM.
Updated Dec 9, 2025
We believe God has called the Mission of Divine Mercy (MDM), through prophetic Messages and other means, to be a part of the great Reconquest of the Hearts of His Children and the renewal of His Church.
In discernment and obedience to this call, and after honoring our Archbishop’s request of silence for seven years, our Community began publishing these prophetic Messages, beginning on February 28, 2024. The Messages speak of great Hope, but also of the terrible corruption at the highest levels of the Church
In one of the first published Messages, given during the time of Francis (Jorge Bergoglio) Our Lord speaks to the bishops of the great tribulation the Church is undergoing and states: “You have allowed the usurper to sit on the chair of My Peter – he who is carrying out the Great Treason that will leave My Church desolate.” A shocking statement—but one that sheds profound light on the terrible suffering and confusion being experienced by so many of the faithful today. In using the words “usurper” (one who in some sense assumes a position of authority illegitimately) and “Great Treason,” we understand the Lord to be saying that Francis was not exercising the papal office validly and that he was doing grave damage to the Church.
Since the death of Francis and the election of Leo (Robert Prevost), the Lord has given several Messages that indicate Leo, like Francis, is also a usurper and not a true pope. In the Message received September 2, 2025, God the Father states:
This HOUR is unique, children. The centuries have prepared it. I have announced it to you through the mouth of My Prophets, through the mouth of My Jesus, and of My Precious Pearl [the Blessed Virgin Mary].
The one who is seated on the throne of Peter is not Mine.
Be alert and attentive. Do not let yourselves be confused or deceived.
Consider the works.
Consider what is promoted.
Consider what is permitted.
Consider what is punished.
Consider who is persecuted.
Wolves in sheep’s clothing that have not only entered My flock to seduce and separate, but who now act as shepherds and guides.
Children, these false shepherds DO NOT GUIDE YOU TO MY WILL. THEY DO NOT GUIDE YOU TO HEAVEN. DO NOT FOLLOW THEM.
Separate yourselves from them as from something unclean.
Pray for them, as My Jesus did from the Cross, as Mary Most Holy did at the foot of the Cross, and as I ask of each generous soul to help these souls who are lost for now.
My beloved children, My little ones, I show you what you are facing. So that you remain firmly in Me, in My Heart that loves you.
So that you may be able to resist these and future deceits.
Again, shocking words—but we believe, prophetic words—from Our Lord to awaken His children to the crisis in which they are living.
Simply from a human perspective, consider that Leo, far from repudiating the many errors and damaging actions of Francis, has repeatedly stated his intent to follow the legacy of Francis and confirmed that intent by his words and deeds.
And consider how many cardinals and bishops, many appointed by Francis and now by Leo, are advocating notions contrary to Christ’s teaching, including the condoning of grave sin. And save for a very few exceptions, these prelates receive no correction from their brethren in the hierarchy. False shepherds. Wolves in sheep’s clothing.
To separate oneself from such false shepherds is NOT leaving Christ’s Church, but precisely drawing closer to Christ and His Church by rejecting false teaching.
Unfortunately, the publication of these Messages has led to conflict with Archbishop Garcia-Siller who has issued decrees of canonical sanctions against MDM, including withdrawing approval for the Mission of Divine Mercy to function as a Catholic apostolate in the Archdiocese of San Antonio and removing Fr. John Mary’s faculties. (Please see the Archbishop’s decrees and our statements and responses below).
We pray that in God’s time and through His action this conflict will be resolved. But above all we believe we must be obedient to God, following the example of our Lord.
The actions of Francis and Leo, their subversions of the Deposit of Faith, constitute an unprecedented crisis in the Church. As St. Thomas Aquinas taught, in such circumstances otherwise good laws followed blindly can cause great harm. St. Thomas says there are times when “it is bad to follow the law, and it is good to set aside the letter of the law and to follow the dictates of justice and the common good” (II-II, Q 121, Art. 1).
Due to this unprecedented crisis, we believe God is asking us to continue our public ministry despite the canonical sanctions. We would not do this in ordinary times, but given the crisis we believe we must say with St. Peter, “‘Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you rather than to God, you must judge; for we cannot but speak of what we have seen and heard'” (Acts 4:19).
We ask for your prayers—for MDM, for our Archbishop, and for the Church as a whole. If we are wrong, may the Lord bring us back to the correct path. If we are right, may He help us remain faithful. And may Our Blessed Mother intercede for all of us.
Jesus, we trust in You

to renew His Church, and through it to renew the whole world. This Reconquest of the hearts of His children is obtained especially through His Eucharistic Sacrifice, the intercession of Our Blessed Mother, and faith in His Prophetic Messages that are being poured out as Grace and Mercy for our world today.
Mission of Divine Mercy is also the name of the place where we live and carry out our ministry. It is located in the rural Texas hill country, halfway between San Antonio and Austin. Most people just refer to our center as “the Mission.”


In our current culture, almost anything goes. But the Mission is different. It is consecrated to Jesus and Mary. Experiencing the Mission begins with respecting Them, the people around you, and yourself. This includes how we dress.
Join a growing network of Trust in Jesus! Just pray “JESUS, I TRUST IN YOU” 20 times a day. Draw down grace upon yourself, your loved ones, and our world. If you wish to add your name to the list, click here.
