The psalm response (Psalm 103) for today’s Masses of “The Lord is kind and merciful” contains a message that is very meaningful for all who seek Jesus.  In today’s Gospel (Matthew 5: 38-48): Matthew writes “… for he makes his sun rise on the bad and the good, and causes rain to fall on the just and the unjust.” Both the psalm response and the Gospel passage point to the Lord’s  extreme kindness and amazing mercy.  They are like a never-ending well from which Jesus longs for all to drink deeply.

We are so fortunate to have been led to this well of Jesus’ kindness and mercy.  Thank you, our dear Lord Jesus – we are so very grateful. Let us drink deeply (as the Saints did) so that we may lead others to this same well.

 

Won’t you share Jesus’ kindness and mercy on the sidewalk outside of Planned Parenthood this week and bring others to the well?
