This is a fitting time to focus on God’s forgiving love, the mercy poured out through the suffering, death, and resurrection of His Son, including the mercy He shows each one of us in ways too numerous to count.

Mercy means God’s Heart desiring to alleviate our misery caused by personal sin. The “Good News” is that Jesus is the Divine Physician who came to heal the sickness of sin. As we receive His forgiveness, we are compelled by this love to trust Jesus and avoid sin in the future. The word trust is significant as it is a key aspect of the Divine Mercy message from Jesus. Trust is not blind, wishful thinking but hope based upon the Person who gave His life for us. Jesus is the Good Shepherd who leaves the ninety-nine to go after the one lost sheep. He is grieved – heartsick – until He finds this sheep, and then lifts it upon His shoulders and carries it home. This describes Jesus’ personal love for each of us.
