Mercy and Faithfulness
Tuesday, 16th week in Ordinary Time
Mic 7: 14-15,18-20; Mt 12: 46-50ay
The most concrete expression of God's faithfulness is God's mercy which is so boundless and plentiful. Our concrete way of living out mercy is being faithful to the biddings of the Lord.
Being faithful to the biddings of the Lord would consist of being attentive to everything around me, being truly concerned about everyone around me and being open to the promptings of the Spirit within me.
Mercy is not about doing some charitable acts here and there and now and then. But it is becoming like God, growing in our godliness and being signs of God's faithfulness to those who are in need of it.
