Happy Mercy Sunday!
Today we celebrate the Octave Day of Easter. We remember that Jesus suffered, died, and rose again so that we might have mercy, that is to be united with God forever! Our Gospel Portion is St. John 20: 19-3. We will meditate on the following,
Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book; but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His Name. John 20: 30-31
Jesus came into our world for no reason but to make God’s love and mercy available to us. The only requirement is to surrender to God!
Mercy is freely given, but to experience it, it must be received!
Receiving God’s mercy will change our lives. It will also change how we treat ourselves and others.
Receiving God’s mercy will make the world a better place because we will make it a better place.
We experienced Divine Mercy every Second Sunday after Easter Sunday. This is a necessary reminder for us, and at least for me, I need to treat myself and others with mercy.
There is so much hate in the world, and that reality is not a new one, but we, the Jesus People, bring mercy and love to this world in such a need for us!
Be mercy and love!
