Chapel Rededication

We are happy to finally be able to have you visit our liturgically redesigned chapel. The re dedication ceremony will take place Sunday. October 10 at 10:30 AM. Our address is 2749 NE 10th Avenue, Wilton Manors, FL 33305 and the chapel is attached to the Residence of the Fathers of Divine Mercy.

You can read more information about our mission at www.newdivinemercy.org

You may view the renovated chapel during our celebration of Mass at that time. We would welcome the opportunity to have you stay afterwords for light refreshments.

After a lengthy redesign, we have finally pulled the wraps off of the new chapel featuring new lighting, new color scheme, and new ceilings with bright golden beams. The space behind the altar has been completely redone centering on the 300 year old crucifix from the monastery in France donated by Metropolitan Nicholas Poulas, R.I.P.

We hope that you will consider making our chapel the center of your spiritual life.

SERENITY

Its 10:00 am on a Thursday morning in a local Gay and Lesbian Center as 60 Gay Men and Women hold hands, at the closing of an anonymous 12 step meeting, and together recite the Serenity Prayer: God grant me tne serenity to accept the things I can not change, the courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference.

Earlier during the meeting my mind wandered, as I looked around the room and thought of the many miracles that I saw in front of me . Those who, through the grace of a loving God, were living sober a day at a time and reaching out to help otheers. Yet, these very same men and women were also being condemned by another God...a God claimed by those who read their interpreation of a bible which condemened the Gay Men and Women as abominations. I said I want the God in AA, a loving kind God who accepted all as his children and gave them his grace and strength. I see God's love in action.

On my own I can not change the rantings of some evangelicals, but ask for the courage to speak up as needed and pray for the wisdom the know the difference. I am grateful today.
