In light of the modern-day Catholic Christian teachings, beliefs, and practices, what is the relevance of the devotion to the faithful’s everyday life? What does it entail to trust Jesus amidst all the doubts and worries hurled to us by the trends of the modern world? How is the devotion of Divine Mercy a helpful guide to our faith, hope, and love in the Lord?
As we move towards the greatest obstacle of our generation, we need to be more receptive to the grace of God’s Divine Mercy. With all the hardships, we are truly grateful to have a God who doesn’t weigh much on our actions but our openness to His constant mercy and forgiveness. Our daily lives have been utterly demanding especially now that we need to work harder to survive the current pandemic and all other life challenges. Yet, Jesus is always there to remind us to trust Him more than we trust ourselves. Our devotion is measured by how much we trust in divine grace and, through the devotion of Divine Mercy, we can deepen it and make it our humble guide to life.
To trust Jesus despite the oppositions of reality we continuously face at every waking moment is to put our will to Him, model our thoughts, words, and actions like His. It is to ultimately submit ourselves to His divine love and mercy more so when we fail to fulfill our Christian duties. Our world today is calling more on loving oneself, yet it has disregarded the core value of loving God above everything else as well as loving our brethren. To submit in Divine Mercy and to trust in Jesus is to fulfill our Christian mission in loving God above everything else and loving others as much as the self.
My dear friends, the institution of the Sunday of Mercy on the eighth day of the Easter Octave is linked to the Resurrection and how this momentous event in Christian history procures the devotion of Mercy and Love of God towards His beloved creation, who is now His children. It is on this devotion that the Lord shrouds us in His fatherly love, envelops us in the protection of Mercy and Compassion regardless of our sins, and His plea to conversion, to constant belief in His presence, His affection, and, ultimately, His love for all of us. Divine Mercy is the link to the theological virtues and the Way where we can all see God at the end of our lives.
May we all, today, confidently profess to His Divine Mercy by saying, “Jesus, I trust in You”
