Today is Divine Mercy
Sunday.
Facebook Live - Divine Mercy Sunday at OLF
In the 1st letter
of St. Peter this truth is shared. Blessed be the
God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who in his great mercy gave us a new
birth to a living hope…
His great mercy is the
compassion, love, and forgiveness shown to us sinners by the one who has power
to punish us.
Most of us learn about mercy
from our parent. All the things as children, teenagers, and even adults we’ve
done; they love us and forgive us.
Friends through Jesus Christ,
we are the adopted children of God. Through Jesus Christ, God’s loving mercy
overflows on us; from that comes Hope.
Even in this time of
everything going on around us, pandemic, quarantine, being separated from the
Eucharist and community; because of Jesus Christ’s love and sacrifice for us, there is hope.
Trust in Jesus and his
endless Mercy.
St. Faustina wrote: When I
see the burden is beyond my strength, I do not analyze and probe; but, run like
a child to the heart of Jesus.
The world promotes doubt:
but, look and see the miracles around us.
Run like a child to the
heart of Jesus. Put
our finger in the nail marks. Place our hands in the wounds on his side. Feel
the blood and water which gush forth for the salvation our souls.
In this time with everything
going on around us, run to Jesus, offer an act of contrition, perform a
spiritual communion. And say, “Jesus I trust
in you.”
Not just on this Divine
Mercy Sunday, but every day. Amen.
