Our Pride Stands In The Way of Divine Mercy


[How tragic that we allow our pride and reluctance to seek Sacramental confession separate us from Divine Mercy and eternal life.]


"Come now, let us set things right, says the Lord: Though your sins be
like scarlet, they may become white as snow; though they be crimson red, they may become white as wool. – Isaiah 1:18



Oh, how painful it is to Me that souls so seldom unite themselves with me in Holy Communion. I wait for souls, and they are indifferent toward Me. I love them tenderly and sincerely, and they distrust Me. I want to lavish My graces on them and they do not want to accept them.  They treat Me as a dead object, whereas My Heart is full of love and mercy."

(Jesus to St. Maria Faustina Kowalska – Diary of Saint Faustina 1447)

Our duty is to live the truth, as Christ who is Truth Incarnate showed us by His life on earth how we are to live in this passing world of space and time. Our duty is to defend the truth, because we realize how disastrous are the consequences of error and how blessed are the fruits of possessing the truth. Our duty is to share the truth with others, because this is the highest practice of charity, on which our salvation depends. Our duty is to suffer for the truth. We are to rejoice as Christ tells us when people oppose us, criticize us, and speak all kinds of calumny against us – in a word – when we are persecuted for proclaiming the truth which God, who is Truth, became man to reveal. Our Lord, Truth Incarnate, was crucified for proclaiming in Palestine.  Servant of God Father John A. Hardon, S. J. ...
