I thought I&#8217;d share it at this time as we are making our way towards the great feast of Divine Mercy (this Sunday), instituted by Jesus and carried out by St. John Paul II. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you can see, I am wearing a hat &#8212; it was a freezing cold day there in the Berkshires and had snowed the prior day. Roughly 20,000 pilgrims had come to participate in this amazing feast day and braved the weather there at the Shrine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Where I was seated for Mass there at the outdoor Shrine in Stockbridge, hand warmers were passed around to keep us from getting frostbite! Just before I went up to the ambo, I shed one of my coats before giving my presentation, which followed Fr. Donald Calloway&#8217;s talk. I hope you enjoy my short talk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/IM0twTtxp10?si=Lj4W0bU39NiwzK2E\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here is a talk I presented at the National Shrine of The Divine Mercy a few years back.
