Be Merciful as your Father is Merciful

Today is the 3rd Monday in Lent.

The Gospel reading is from Luke 6:36-38.

Jesus said to his disciples: “Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.

“Stop judging and you will not be judged.
Stop condemning and you will not be condemned.
Forgive and you will be forgiven.
Give and gifts will be given to you;
a good measure, packed together, shaken down, and overflowing,
will be poured into your lap.

For the measure with which you measure
will in return be measured out to you.

As the sun shows itself through the fog (in San Francisco), so does the mercy of God in the "unclarity" of our lives.

  1. Even tho it may feel like 3rd week it’s only 2nd week of Lent!

    • I guess that counting was never my strong suit. Thanks for the correction! I know you’re reading.
