2nd Week of Lent - Saturday C
Beyond anything one would expect of an omnipotent creator God, mercy would be among the least, given our fallen human nature which is quick to condemn others while failing to see our own sins. We are quick to judge, condemn and annihilate, but God’s thoughts are not our thoughts, because whereas we a lot of times act brashly and from a survival instinct, God dwells in a continuous state of love. The first reading today from Micah, resonates deeply with this reality and the parable of the Prodigal Son confirms it.
