What is mercy?

"Mercy is the compassion that our heart experiences in the face of the misery of another, a feeling that obliges us, in reality, to help, if we can" [II-II, 30,1].

It involves two things

Feeling pain,

From the Incarnation he can feel, pain he felt once in his Incarnation and he continues to feel it in every Eucharist, in abandonment.

To Remedy

There is no greater misery of man than eternal perdition, God has healed through the incarnation.

­The promise of Divine Mercy.

Divine Mercy Sunday is perhaps God's greatest gift for our time. The promise of this day is nothing less than the forgiveness of all sins and the punishment due to sin for anyone who confesses and receives Jesus in Holy Communion on this very special feast. According to Divine Mercy Productions, one can receive the Sacrament of Confession, also known as Reconciliation, twenty days before or after Divine Mercy Sunday.

Because in these moments Divine Mercy is offered.

Why would Jesus offer mankind such a magnanimous gift at this moment in history? Jesus told St. Faustina that she must prepare the world for His Second Coming and that He would pour out His Mercy in great abundance before coming again as the Just Judge.

Reasons to trust in mercy.

My Mercy is infinitely greater than all the sins that man can commit. It saddens me that someone considers their faults greater than my forgiveness. This is the sin that will not be forgiven in this century, nor in any other (Mt 12:32). (Santa Catalina, Dialogues).

The world does not receive sinners. Sinners are received only by Jesus Christ.

San Juan Crisóstomo: ¡Dios mío, ten misericordia de mí! ¿Misericordia pides? ¡Pues nada temas! Where there is mercy there are no judicial investigations into guilt, no apparatus of courts, no need to make reasoned excuses. Great is the storm of my sins, my God! But greater is the bonanza of your mercy!!

Jesus Christ, after He appeared in the world, whom does He call? To the magicians! And after the wizards? To the publican! And after the publican to the prostitute, and after the prostitute? To the robber! And after the robber? To the ungodly persecutor.

Do you live like an infidel? Infidels were the magicians. Are you a loan shark? Usurer was the publican. Are you impure? Impure was the prostitute. Are you a murderer? Murderer was the robber. Are you ungodly? Paul was ungodly, because he was first blasphemous and then an apostle; first persecutor, then evangelist... Don't tell me, "I'm blasphemous, I'm sacrilegious, I'm impure." For don't you have an example of all sins forgiven by God?

Have you sinned? Confess and do penance, Satan will stand by your side to make you desperate. Do not follow him, rather remember these five words: "Jesus receives sinners," words that are an ineffable cry of love, an inexhaustible outpouring of mercy, and an unbreakable promise of forgiveness.

What are you going to give me San Jeronimo

Trough the sacrament of reconciliation

“Receive the Holy Spirit. Whose sins you forgive are forgiven them, and whose sins you retain are retained.”

Is not the father, the power that the father has receive trough the Holy Spirit

I was crossing the river and a person come to wash my feet and kiss them, because the priest is carrying the Mercy of God.

Let us trust in Divine mercy and be merciful to our brothers and sisters.

Christ taught us that "man not only receives and experiences God's mercy, but is called to 'use mercy' towards others: 'Blessed are the merciful, for they will obtain mercy' (Mt 5:7)" (Dives in misericordia, 14). And he also pointed out to us the many ways of mercy, which not only forgives sins, but also goes out to meet all the needs of men. Jesus bent down over all human miseries, both material and spiritual.

Forgive with generosity
