God's Mercy

I think it is appropriate to start off this blog with a poem I wrote on Divine Mercy Sunday a few weeks ago:

God is Mercy
How Beautiful the God of compassion
O confounding Love, O ageless Tomorrow!
Emerging from the light of truth
He pierces through doubt's grievous unease
Who stills the spirit in merciful waves
Sounding forth the tides of salvation.

How Kind and patient the merciful Jesus
To look with the eyes of immense consolation
To soothe all these wounds wrought in life's waging battles
And nourish with hope when our heart's bask in sorrow
Imparts to us His Strength to strength
To the poor and battered and broken.
