Seek Mercy While It Lasts – Apr 15 – Homily – Fr Matthias

Fr Matthias gives the homily at Bloomington, IN, on Apr 15, 2023, our "Divine Mercy Day of Reflection", on the main reason behind the establishment of the feast of Divine Mercy, that it underscores the importance of taking advantage of God's mercy before the time for mercy runs out. This is especially important because the gravity and quantity of sins are increasing in the world, indicating that mercy may well be running out, so we need to take refuge under God's merciful protection, to find forgiveness and the grace to avoid falling into further sins. He also highlights the role of the Virgin Mary in bringing people closer to the merciful heart of the Savior.
