Happy Divine Mercy Sunday to you All! For His Mercy endures Forever!
Thanks be to God for His endless Mercy. His desire to constantly care for the souls who wander the farthest from Him. I know I have wandered from our Lord and continue to feel His love pulling me back to Himself. Think of how our loving Father waits patiently for our return so that we can share in the joy and glory of the Son’s Resurrection, His return to the Father so that the Holy Spirit may come and dwell in our heart, mind, body, and soul. Jesus reveals the way to His Father for us.
The Divine Mercy Chaplet is a beautiful devotion and powerful prayer that recognizes the awesome power of God’s Mercy. The Early Church Fathers learned and taught about the constant need to repent from our sins and turn back to the Lord for His divine grace so we may be reunited and healed in His Most Sacred Heart. St. Anthony of the Desert said, “This is the great work of man: always to take the blame for his own sins before God and to expect temptation to his last breath.” We need God’s help and cannot do it by ourself or only with other people, we were created by Him who is Love so that we may receive that perfect love and have the opportunity to try and return that love back to our Creator, the God of the universe, the Most Holy Trinity.
May we always realize the Father’s perfect patience to wait for us, and His readiness to extend His Mercy to the souls who are in most need of His Mercy.
For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, Have Mercy on us and in the whole world!
In Christ,
Father Steiner
“The Divine Heart is an ocean full of all good things, wherein poor souls can cast all their needs; it is an ocean full of joy to drown all our sadness, an ocean of humility to drown our folly, an ocean of mercy to those in distress, an ocean of love in which to submerge our poverty.”
St. Margaret Mary Alacoque
