Today is Divine Mercy Sunday. I love this celebration of God’s love. God wants to forgive all our sins and pour His Mercy into our lives. He doesn’t want us to go it alone. He wants to help us. Jesus shares His Divine Presence with us in the Eucharist. He conquered sin and death with His Passion and Resurrection. And today He asks us to turn away from our sins, trust Him completely, and share His Mercy with others. If we do this, we will spend eternity with Him in Paradise. How could we possibly say no?
Recently we have learned that we can’t place our trust in the economy, in our own health, or even our day to day lifestyle. There are no guarantees with any of these choices. Jesus, however, offers us an eternity of love and happiness. We merely have to trust His Word, gaze upon His Cross, and follow His merciful ways. No matter what is happening in the world, Jesus will never fail us. He is the remedy our hearts long for. Our “yes “ to Jesus is the stimulus the world really needs. Today, open your hearts and say , “Yes!”
