There is nothing that is beyond the mercy of God. Sr. Mary Grace, Sr. Ann Immaculée, and Sr. Marie Veritas discuss the unending mercy of God for each one of us as we stumble and fall because of our broken condition. The Sisters remind us that no matter our past, God’s mercy is abundant, unwavering, and healing. By clinging to God’s divine mercy in our darkest moments, we can experience true freedom.

Quotes

• “St. John notes that our Lord said nothing whatsoever to the woman. He didn’t even look at her. He stooped down and wrote in the ground. There have been many scriptural interpretations of why he did that, of what he wrote in the dirt. Some say he wrote the sins of the accusers. It seems highly probably that this was simply the compassion, the mercy of Jesus, who didn’t want to embarrass the woman by looking at her. Let him among you who is without sin throw the first stone. We are told that each one had to slink away until finally Jesus looked at her and asked, Has no one condemned you? Neither do I condemn you. Then he added those all important words, Go now and sin no more. Jesus never accepted the sin. He always accepted the sinner.”- Cardinal O’Connor
  
  
• “God who can’t stand seeing anything lost and never lets go.”– Cardinal O’Connor
  
  
• “The greater the sinner, the greater the right he has to My mercy.” –Diary of Saint Maria Faustina Kowalska, 723
  
  

Challenges of the Week

• Get yourself a picture of the Divine Mercy and put it in a place where you can see it everyday.
• Run to Confession in moments of temptation. Let your temptation lead you to your salvation.

The Sisters of Life are women religious, who profess the three traditional vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience, and a fourth vow to protect and enhance the sacredness of human life. They were founded by Cardinal John O’Connor in New York in 1991, and received formal approbation as a religious institute in 2004, under Cardinal Edward Egan.
The mission of the Sisters of Life includes serving women who are vulnerable to abortion, giving them the support and resources to be able to choose life for themselves and their children; hosting weekend retreats; evangelization; outreach to college students; and helping women who have suffered after abortion to encounter the mercy and healing of Jesus Christ.
