May God bless us in his mercy. May God have pity on us
and bless us; may he let his face shine upon us. So may your way be known upon
earth; among all nations, your salvation.
We all need God’s pity and blessing. None of us are without
sins and imperfections. None of us are strong enough to resist all temptation.
God knows this and that is why He sent His Beloved Son to become one of us and
offer himself as a sacrifice for our failings. It is God’s pity that brings us
blessing, but it is God’s Love that brings us His pity. It is His Divine Love
that makes His face shine upon us and leads us to salvation. Truly, we are
blessed in His Mercy and we would do well to be merciful ourselves for we will
be judged as we treated others, for good and ill. Better for us if our thoughts,
words, and works are weighed more towards selflessness and good than toward
selfishness and evil.
Do we thank God for His Mercy and Blessings? How can we
be as merciful as God is toward us? Do our thoughts, words, and works make
known God’s Way of Love to others?
O Lord, bless us in your mercy.
Amen.
