J.M.J. What can we say about the Mercy of God? So many more eloquent persons have tried to express this mystery. So, we may feel ourselves very inadequate in trying to do the same.

Yet, although we may not be able to find the best of the Queen's English to describe God's Mercy, we really do not need to attempt such an adventure, exhilarating and daring as it would be!

We know God's Mercy . . . we have experienced it, especially when we go to Confession . . . and we seek to share His unspeakable Mercy with our brothers and sisters.

We sing with Our Lady: "for He has looked with favor upon His lowly servant." (Saint Luke 1:48) 

I am His lowly servant, and so are you. Therefore, let us rejoice, for His Mercy is ours.

May +Francis John rest in peace.

Now, thirty-one seconds of awe and admiration:


Grace before Meals in Latin is: 

"Benedic, Domine (+), nos et haec Tua dona
quae de Tua largitate sumus sumpturi
Per Christum Dominum nostrum
Amen."

You may even chant it, as Leo does . . .
