Mercy: God's heart for our misery

Tuesday Mass. 4.08.25.

In today's homily, I reflect on a Lenten theme inspired by Father Boniface Hicks. He describes mercy as God's heart for our misery. Through personal anecdotes and biblical references, I explore how our complaints and desires often mirror the Israelites' behavior in the Bible. I emphasize the importance of shifting our perspective from seeing God as a harsh master to recognizing His desire to transform our hearts. As we approach Palm Sunday, I remind us that we are not slaves but beloved children of God.
