About This Blog

Come peer through the lens of Sacred Writings and Scripture to know ourselves and be made whole. There is always medicine to apply in our lives: emotional, relational, social and spiritual. My prayer is that the words of the early church and scripture will inform our identity and bring us healing that equips us to know and serve God with all our hearts.

SWEET MERCY

Thursday, third week of Lent

It would have been so easy to keep walking, my hand reaching for the door knob, ignoring the sound of my daughter's voice, "Mom?" I had wanted to go out- to church- to be refreshed, to be with God, but He stopped me.

Mercy meets the child with the fever, pours the ginger ale, changes the plans, tucks one in under piles of blankets. I'd rather have been with God in church, but it seems He wanted to be with me at home taking care of the least of these.

"Let us learn therefore to be merciful on all accounts, but chiefly because we too need much mercy." St Chrysostom Gospel of Matthew Homily LII.5 NPNF1; 10,325
