Unconditional Mercy

The love, mercy, compassion of God is unconditional!!! Once again, we see that in our readings for today. Ezekiel 16:1-15, 60, 63 shows the love and mercy of God in a special way. The Lord God took care of Jerusalem from a very young age but as they got older they turned away from God. However, God remained faithful to the covenant He had established. That is true with us, God is always faithful and He continually calls us back into a relationship with Him. We have strayed because of our own weaknesses and sinfulness but God is always patient and awaits our return. Hopefully we do not wait long in our return to the Lord. We always need to be ready, always need to be prepared, so it is good to keep our house in order at all times. As God shows us unconditional mercy, love, compassion, and forgiveness, so we are called to share those beautiful qualities with others. May we pray for the grace to be perfect and holy as our Heavenly Father is perfect and holy. Always know that when we stray, God is always faithful and will welcome us back with a loving and merciful embrace. Have a blessed day!!!
