The Message of Jesus is Mercy

Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy. Matthew 5:7

I think even we are sometimes like these people, who on the one hand want to listen to Jesus, but on the other hand, sometimes we like to stone others and condemn others. The message of Jesus is this: mercy. ~Pope Francis, 3/17/13 Homily, Santa Anna's Church, Rome

Dear Lord, I'm guilty as charged. When my hands itch to pick up stones, let me instead stretch them toward You, begging for Your mercy. Amen.
