This season of Lent seems so somber for some people. Indeed, it is a time when we take a good, hard look at what is missing in our response to the gift of love and the gifts of life that we receive from God.
But the joyful part of this season is that God is merciful; God is forgiving. With true and humble repentance, we accept God’s mercy and forgiveness, which are always being offered to us.
We, too, are called to be merciful and forgiving. All of us have been hurt; all of us have been betrayed. And it is difficult for us to forgive because we have been hurt.
Let us remember the words of our Gospel reading today: “Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful…. for the measure with which you measure will in return be measured out to you.”+
