Lenten Daily Reflections - Nineteenth Day " Festival of Mercy" Tuesday, March 10, 2015









 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Festival
 
    of Mercy

 

Sin offends God.
 
Rev. Charles Miller says we cannot even begin to imagine how bad sin is because we cannot appreciate how good God is.
 
However, we know we can go to confession and have our sins forgiven no matter how serious those sins may be.
 
 Jesus warns us that his forgiveness depends on whether we forgive others from the heart.
 
God’s forgiveness must create a chain reaction of offering forgiveness anyone who has offended us. It is never easy to forgive others especially when people insult you in public and hurt you.
 
The strength of your character shows up when you have bigness or a big heart to forgive.
 
God has a big heart for all of us to render forgiveness.
 
God is willing to write off our huge debts of sin and he expects us write off the meager amount of debts our brothers or sisters owe us.
 
How big of a heart do you have?
 
Any offense against us is a mere fraction of what we are guilty of by sin before God.
 
That’s why the young man in the fiery furnace prays for God’s mercy.
 
Praying to forgive serious injuries is like praying while burning in a fiery furnace, and if you do not pray to be released from your unforgiving heart, you will indeed keep burning. Sometimes only God can release you from such a furnace.
 
La Salette Shrine in Attleboro offers this year a
 
“Festival of Mercy”
 
from March 27-28  beginning at 7 am till 7pm
 
an opportunity to be
 
released from the clutches of sin by receiving the
 
Sacrament of Reconciliation/Confession.
 
 
 
During this time anyone can walk into the chapel of reconciliation and be set free from the furnace of sin.
 
Do you want to be released and relieved from sin or do you wish to keep burning?
 
The choice is yours.
