DIVINE WHISPER with FR. PIUSRALPH EFFIONG, SMMM

THURSDAY OF THE 28TH WEEK IN ORDINARY TIME OF THE YEAR (B)

Mystery of the day: Luminous 

"With the Lord there is mercy, in Him is plentiful redemption." (Psam 130:7bc)

The mercy of God upon us remains incomprehensible attribute. He loves beyond measure, as He counts no wrong. That is why the Psalmist from the table of the Word today, reechoed: 

"With the Lord there is mercy, in Him is plentiful redemption." (Psam 130:7bc)

This implies that, God's mercy is always at work not minding our frailty. He does not considers our weaknesses and failings but look upon us with pity. 

In the light of this, we who are saved by God's grace and always at the mercy of God, need to be merciful to others. Counting wrong of others upon us blocked the chance of receiving the merciful love of God. 

Therefore, let us reflect once more with the Psalmist:

"If you, O LORD, should mark iniquities, LORD, who could stand? But with you is found forgiveness, that you may be revered." (Psam 130:3-4)

Finally, let love beyond measure radiates from our heats to others, let the weakness of others be seen in the light of human, for only God can be perfect. 

Peace! Be with you.

Fada PIUSRALPH prays for you.

Let us pray 🙏 

Merciful God, we thank You for the love You shower upon us, now and always. As we continue our earthly sojourn, keep us in mind we pray, and may we reach out to others with sincere love, love beyond measure. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
