Triumph of God’s Mercy
A reading from the Letter to the Romans 11, 30 -36:
Just as you once disobeyed God but have now received mercy because of their disobedience, so they have now disobeyed in order that, by virtue of the mercy shown to you, they too may now receive mercy. For God delivered all to disobedience, that he might have mercy upon all.
Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How inscrutable are his judgments and how unsearchable his ways!
“For who has known the mind of the Lord or who has been his counselor?”
“Or who has given him anything that he may be repaid?”
For from him and through him and for him are all things. To him be glory forever. Amen.
Today Sunday is the Feast of Divine Mercy. It was Saint Faustina who spread the great mercy of God throughout the world. We often speak of love but mercy is greater than love. Mercy is the highest form of love for mercy is always ready to forgive all those who have sinned against God and against you. Jesus was always full of mercy when He was on earth. He showed mercy to the Apostles, to many people who came to Him like the woman called in adultery. He forgave them all. Let us be full of mercy as Jesus is full of mercy and never carry any hatred or rejection in our hearts.
Below you will find the message of Our Lord and Savior given to Father Melvin. Jesus spoke to him these words,
“I call you My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters to be full of mercy as I am full of mercy for you. I taught Saint Faustina for many years about Divine Mercy. She wrote a book about all that I told her. Remember that My mercy is as deep as the ocean and as high as the heavens. It was out of mercy for each one of you that I came and was born on earth, the Son of My Mother, the Blessed Virgin Mary. I came to show you what is Divine Mercy. Although I did not commit any sin, I accepted to suffer and die on the cross to atone for all your sins. I love you all and through My mercy, I want you all with Me in heaven. I gave you all the graces you need to follow Me. If you repent of your sins, I will take them all away and forget them all. Learn from Me My dear friends and practice mercy every day towards your friends and neighbours. If you should suffer, offer your suffering to Me as an act of mercy for those who do not believe and do not repent of their sins. Do not hold any hatred against anyone but pray for mercy for them all. I am full of mercy for you and I love you all.
Father Melvin
