WHERE SIN AND MERCY MEET
Monday in the 2nd Week of Lent
Lk 6:36-38
Lent is a special time for us to examine our conscience. We place ourselves before the crucifix – not before the cross only – to review our life. As we do so, we see our personal story, a story where sin and mercy meet. It is a story of grace.
Before the crucifix, we see that we are not in anyway superior or inferior to others. There is no other standard we must gauge our self than Jesus Himself. He died for each of us no matter how undeserving we are. Indeed, as St. Faustina said, mercy is God’s attribute.
We resolve not to compare our selves with one another. Let us, instead, continue striving to be like the Lord. Let us make the lives of many others stories of grace, stories where sin and mercy meet.
