We need to take the mercy of God to the brothers
See the great grace of the mercy of Jesus narrated in the Gospel of John, Chapter 20. After telling the Apostles “peace be with you”, Jesus breathed on them and said: “Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive sins they are forgiven; those you retain, they are retained (Jn -23 20.22).
There is the institution of the sacrament of Penance. That amazing grace for all of us! Imagine the biggest sinner, repented, goes to the priest and confesses his or her sins-the priest grants the penitent absolution, the person is forgiven and, immediately, the SIN is forgotten by the Lord. I can say that this is the great grace of God’s mercy.
We believe in the immense mercy of the Lord, and, therefore, receive his mercy. Because we received it, we are also messengers of divine mercy of the Lord. So we have to take it to our brothers and sisters, the people of our House, our school, our work.
