How precious is your mercy, O God! The children of men seek shelter in the shadow of your wings. ~Psalm 36(35):8
"What a beautiful truth of faith this is for our lives: the mercy of God! God’s love for us is so great, so deep; it is an unfailing love, one which always takes us by the hand and supports us, lifts us up and leads us on... Dear brothers and sisters, let us be enveloped by the mercy of God; let us trust in his patience, which always gives us more time. Let us find the courage to return to his house, to dwell in his loving wounds, allowing ourselves be loved by him and to encounter his mercy in the sacraments. We will feel his tenderness, so beautiful, we will feel his embrace, and we too will become more capable of mercy, patience, forgiveness and love." ~Pope Francis, 4/7/13 Homily at St. John Lateran
Dear Jesus, my Crucified Lord and Savior, within Your wounds, hide me. There will I feast on Your mercy, there I will sing of Your love. Amen. Alleluia!
