This Sunday’s readings draw us into the heart of God’s longing for mercy. Hosea and the psalm remind us that God desires steadfast love and mercy rather than empty ritual.
Paul lifts up Abraham, who trusted the God whose mercy led him and Sarah into a new land and a new life. In the Gospel, Jesus embodies that same life‑giving mercy. He calls Matthew from the margins, heals a woman worn down by twelve years of suffering, and restores a young girl to life.
Together, these lessons reveal a God
who steps toward us with compassion and invites us to do the same - choosing mercy over performance and trust over fear.
Looking forward to Sunday and enjoying refreshments in the parking lot (weather permitting). Father Karl
