First reading: IS 1:10, 6-20 Responsorial Psalm: PS 50:8-8,16BC-17, 21 & 23 Gospel: MT 23:1-12

Merciful God

“I have always found out that mercy bear richer fruit than strict Justice” Abraham Lincoln

The love God has toward us is unexplainable and incomprehensible, he wants you and I to be saved, my dear brothers and sisters in the Lord are your action showing you are ready to be saved in all your ways of life? Today God is asking us to turn way from the path of our sin, because sin leads to destruction, he is urging us to wash our self-clean in the blood of the lamb, how enormous is your sin (i.e. kill, fornication, and all various forms of sin) today God has open the door of mercy for you to come in and be saved he said “ though your sin be like scarlet, they may become white as snow”  dear reader if you are ready to turn back to God and leave the path of darkness,  and abandon your sin say this prayer after me

“Father from today I turn from the path of my sin………………..(i.e. mention your sin) and ask for your forgiveness, be merciful to me oh God!, and grant me the grace not to fall back” then

Act of Contrition

Tomorrow may be too late, change today and let the enemy (devil) be ashamed, salvation has truly come for your sake
