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 and 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 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 can still seriously hurt us, and the Father is also zealous enough to crush it and the things that lead us to it.
Today, we’re looking at God and His Mercy and trying to understand that a little bit. We’ll examine both the merciful God and the God who is indifferent to sin.

Jesus does not demand great actions from us; instead, the invitation is to live in surrender and gratitude to Him. At times, we can take a more Pelagian approach where more emphasis is given to our efforts, initiatives, and self-improvement—our achievement…

Define the Relationship
Being in relationship with God looks like we’re sitting down in front of a big table with Him, and what a deeper conversion and deeper healing means is that we are willing to be at this table and we are willing to lay out everything here for the Lord to see. He sits us down…
