WHEN MERCY FAILS : FACING THE BITTER PRICE OF HYPOCRISY 'S DOUBLE EDGED SWORD

This Sermon highlights the essence of God's mercy as expressed through Saint Faustina and the Chaplet of Divine Mercy. It emphasizes that mercy is not only about receiving but also about becoming a vessel of that mercy in our interactions with others.

Saint Faustina's prayer invites us to examine how we see, hear, speak, and act toward those around us. True mercy requires action; it should flow outward, allowing us to love unconditionally and serve others without judgment. Each aspect of our being—our eyes, ears, tongue, hands, feet, and heart—must embody mercy, enabling us to listen to suffering, speak words of hope, lend a hand, and walk with those in need.

Ultimately, we are called to live authentically, reflecting the boundless mercy we receive from God. As we gather in the Eucharist, may we be empowered to share Christ's love with the world and embody His compassion in our daily lives.
