Episode notes
Mercy Flows Freely Through Us
- God's mercy is constant and freely flows to us each morning, removing the need to fear sin or weakness.
- Christians are called to let that same mercy flow freely from their hearts toward others so forgiveness mirrors God's forgiveness.
Parable Reveals Hypocrisy In Withholding Mercy
- The parable in Matthew 18 shows a servant forgiven a vast debt who then refuses mercy to another who owes little.
- That contrast exposes the injustice of receiving divine mercy yet withholding mercy from others.
The Nacho Story That Teaches Sharing
- Fr. Mark-Mary recounts a nacho story where a young woman who bought the nachos guarded them, teaching him they were actually 'our' nachos.
- The story illustrates how it's wrong to keep mercy to oneself after receiving it freely from God.
