Now by chance a certain priest came down that road. And when he saw him, he passed by on the ...read more

The heart of the LORD is about Mercy towards us, and as HE gives mercy, we are also to be merciful to others. We love, because HE first loved us. We forgive, because HE first forgave us. We have mercy because HE first was merciful to us.

Imitating Our Father

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Jun 2, 2025
