The WORD today reminds me of God's divine and unending mercy.
Today is divine mercy sunday, and the gospel reminds us of it. Jesus says it to his disciples three times - "peace be with you"
Why was this his first greeting? Probably because he wanted to assure his disciples that they are forgiven. From what? From abandoning Jesus during his darkest moments. They left him when times were tough.
Another peace he was giving them was probably the peace amidst all worldly distractions. Times were tough and challenging, and Christ wants us to know that he gives us peace from everything. This is what he says in Philippians - "and the peace of Christ which surpasses all human understanding will guard your minds and hearts"
May we always remember God's divine mercy. No matter how much we have hurt him, he is always ready to give his peace. We just need to be humble and come to him to receive his peace coming from his forgiveness, and surrender our lives to him to receive his peace amidst all the worldly distractions.
Father God,
Thank you for today. Thank you for opportunities to spend time with people important to me. Lord may I always remember your mercy and may i humbly come to receive your mercy and forgiveness, and submit my life to you to get peace only you can give. Amen.
Blessed day!
In Christ,
