God is merciful and compassionate. He is slow to anger and his love is everlasting.
All of us experience God’s mercy in different ways. Some remain thankful, while others forget to thank God. Through the Sacrament of Reconciliation, we recognize that we are sinners, and humble ourselves to receive God’s pardon.
Today’s readings invite us to reflect upon our sinful nature and God’s mercy. There are many who do not know what sin is, or if they are sinning. Parents, teachers, and faith educators have a role to accompany young people in their faith journey. God forgives us every day. If we open ourselves to his mercy, we will experience it daily.
How do you share mercy and bring salt to the taste of others?
Let us surrender ourselves and our families to the Lord. Let us experience God’s mercy and forgiveness. Amen.
