"...and (he) prayed, ‘O God, be merciful to me a sinner.’" - Luke 18:13
Pope Francis frequently points out that we are all sinners. We cannot help it; the tendency to sin is the result of the precious gift given to us by God: our free will. We sin whenever we choose to turn away from God and to "go it alone." But God IS a merciful god; He is always ready to forgive us. All we have to do is to be merciful, as He is merciful. During this Jubilee of Mercy, let us open our hearts to God's infinite mercy, and in turn extend that mercy to all who we meet.
