Our Lenten Journey, March 25, 2022

Today’s reflection:

“Forgiveness is the most visible sign of the Father’s love, which Jesus sought to reveal by his entire life.” — Pope Francis 

From epicpew.com: “Pope Francis issued his apostolic letter Misericordia et Misera (“Mercy and Misery”) at the conclusion of the Extraordinary Jubilee Year of Mercy, which lasted from December 8, 2015, to November 20, 2016.”

The letter touches on the themes of repentance, conversion, and reconciliation as related to mercy.
