Jesus has mercy on us, "Father forgive them..." |
Child of the Most High, as you finish praying the morning office, I, too am praying it with you.
O' how I delight in the Psalms. They are foundational to the faith, child. Imagine that you are living in those times of King David. His words, inspired by grace, ring out clearly to those times but also to
Divine Mercy Jesus with St Faustina - 'O' Blood and water which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a font of mercy for us, I trust in you.' |
The father loves and has mercy on his prodigal son. |
My mercy I give to you; you give mercy to others. In your human condition, many hurt you, do not understand you, are angry with you, or seek to harm you. I forgive all your sins when you come to Me with a contrite spirit before My sons, My priests in the Sacrament of Reconciliation, of Penance. You in turn must forgive others. Is it always easy to forgive others when they have hurt you in one way or another? No, My child, yet it is important and necessary to show mercy.
The Lord has mercy and forgives all our sins in the Sacrament of Reconciliation |
In the Our Father prayer, what do you pray?
Lord, we pray it this way. 'Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy Name, Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.'
Yes, child that is exactly so, and what does it say about forgiveness?
My Lord, it says, 'Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.'
So, if someone has trespassed, done anything against you, are you to hold a grudge, be angry to that person, wish them bad things to happen in their life? Or are you to ignore them, write them out of your life for the hurt they have caused you, child?
No, my dear God. We are to forgive them, right?
"I am sorry. I love you." |
Child of Mine, this is a very important lesson. So many souls count on My mercy, My forgiveness for all of their sins, yet they fail at forgiving and showing mercy to others. Mercy is love, not hate, not spite, not retribution. Remember to love Me with all your mind, your heart, and your soul, and your neighbor as yourself. Also, do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
My children, mercy is not a one-way street.
Be merciful to all others. Do not leave anyone out.
Love, only love - Me, your God, and all others.
This is the Way. This is what I desire.
"I am sorry. "It's ok, I forgive you." |
Child send this message out to the world. Many will be healed. Many will be saved. Peace.
You are dearly loved. Peace.
Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank you for forgiving us and sending your Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ to save us. Please help us in our weakness to forgive others. We do not mean to hold grudges, or be angry with one another. Give us the grace to say "I am sorry" to those we have hurt and to forgive those who have hurt us. Help us also to bear wrongs patiently and let our complaining cease. Let us show mercy and to love, only love You and all people. Mother of Mercy please guide us in the works of mercy, magnify our prayers, and intercede for us. We ask this in the name of Divine Mercy Jesus, through the power of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
