Mercy - One Minute With Bishop Burbidge

<p>As we continue to celebrate the Easter season we are reminded that in addition to giving thanks for the triumph of Our Risen Lord, we are provided with the great gift of his mercy. It is a gift that cannot be acquired through purchase or one we have to earn. Rather, the Lord’s mercy is given to us freely, without cost or commitment. It is there for us, if only we ask. In fact, we have three invitations: to be the <em>recipient</em> of his mercy; to <em>seek</em> the Lord’s forgiveness; and to be an <em>instrument  </em>of his mercy by forgiving those who have offended us. As we continue to celebrate the Resurrection and with renewed faith, let us remember the words of St. Faustina and welcome the opportunity to say repeatedly, “Jesus, I trust in you!”</p>
