Inspirations of Divine Mercy

Two beams fastened, forming an instrument of shame. A cross, the Father's way to love and shepherd His people. Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that weighs us down and the sins that so easily distract us and with perseverance run the race that lies ahead of us,   with our e yes fixed on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith. For the sake of the joy that lay before him, he endured the cross, ignoring its shame, and is now seated at the right hand of the throne of God. Hebrews 12:1-2

Lead me, Your hand of mercy resting on my shoulder. Shepherd me from my wretchedness. Purify me in Your love.   Go and learn what this text means:  ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’  I have come to call not the righteous but sinners. Matthew 9:13
