Be Merciful • Sun.04.12.26

Mercy begins when we look at Jesus and choose to respond like Him.

Mercy is not softness without truth.

It is the kind of love Jesus showed when He forgave, searched, and stayed close to the lost.

If we want to understand mercy, we have to look at Him.

Today, we choose one merciful response instead of the harsh one that first comes to mind.

✝️ Prayer for Mercy

Jesus, teach us to be merciful as the Father is merciful. Shape our hearts by the way You loved and forgave. Amen.

A prayer a day, keeps the soul from drifting away

Proclaim God’s Love • Sat.04.11.26

We speak about God’s love more truthfully when we first let it change us.

People need to hear that God is near and that He loves them.

But before we can share that truth, we need to let it sink into our own heart.

We cannot give what we refuse to receive.

Today, we remind ourselves that God loves us deeply, and we let that truth shape the way we speak to others.

Based on the Word of Life, January 1997, by Chiara Lubich, Servant of God.

✝️ Prayer to Announce God’s Love

Lord, let the truth of Your love settle deeply in us. Help us carry it to others with sincerity and joy. Amen.
