MERCY
-
The
message and devotion of the Divine Mercy spread out throughout
the world in the 1930s based on the writings of Saint Faustina
Kowalska, of a young Polish nun who wrote a diary of about 600
pages recording the revelations she received about God’s
mercy.
The message of mercy is a reminder of what the Church
has always taught through scripture and tradition: that God is merciful
and forgiving and that we, too, must
show mercy and forgiveness. But in the Divine Mercy devotion, the
message takes on a powerful new focus, calling people to a deeper
understanding that God’s love is
unlimited and available to everyone — especially the greatest
sinners.
Jesus wants us to recognize that His mercy is greater than our sins,
so that we will call upon Him with trust, receive His mercy, and
let it flow through us to others. Thus, all will come to share His
joy. It is a message we can call to mind simply by remembering ABC.
A — Ask for His Mercy. God wants us to approach Him in prayer
constantly, repenting of our sins and asking Him to pour His mercy
out upon us and upon the whole world.
B — Be merciful. God wants us to receive His mercy and let
it flow through us to others. He wants us to extend love and forgiveness
to others just as He does to us.
C — Completely trust in Jesus. God wants us to know that the
graces of His mercy are dependent upon our trust. The more we trust
in Jesus, the more we will receive.
We
will pray for your intentions every Wednesday at our Divine
Mercy Novena Mass.
