Series on "The Father" by Fr. Mark-Mary Ames, CFR (Part 9)
Do you trust God's mercy?
We are invited to bring to light those things that we are keeping in the dark, things that are tough, and trust that God in his mercy will love and care for us there.
When we bring something to the Lord, it's forgiven and it's gone, He no longer sees us with that. He doesn't define us as a son or daughter who did this bad thing. To the Father's eyes, we are not defined by our sin and our weakness but by His love and our capacity to live like His son or daughter.
But at the same time, sin still can seriously hurt us and the Father is also zealous to crush it and the things that lead us to them.
Today we're looking at God and His Mercy and try to understand that a little bit. We'll take a look at both the merciful God and the God who is indifferent to sin.
