“LORD, FORGIVE THE WRONG I HAVE DONE!” What a great request of our God&ldots;..perfect way to begin a new day. The reassurance that God will forgive our failings comes to us through the Word of God. Today’s scripture readings invite us to discover that for centuries man, both male and female, have depended upon the loving mercy of God to erase our guilt, thus enabling us to do God’s holy will and knowing that we are justified by our faith in Jesus Christ. Reread today’s Bible selections. They will help you understand God’s Divine Mercy and His unconditional love for you by going to Confession.
