TODAY’S WORD…

All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

God is our merciful Father

and the source of all comfort.

He comforts us in all our troubles

so that we can comfort others.

When they are troubled,

we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us.

REFLECTION…

.

Jesus Christ reveals His merciful Father to us,

and God in His infinite love and mercy,

consoles us in our sufferings.

.

This generous love, which fills our entire being,

prompts us to gladly share the comfort we receive with others,

as we praise and thank God

and gladly acknowledge Him as the Source of all love.

QUOTE…

"The truth, revealed in Christ, about God the ‘Merciful Father’

enables us to see Him as particularly close to man, especially when man is suffering,

when he is under threat at the very heart of his existence and dignity."

– St. John Paul II
