Our Lord will cast into the depths of the sea all our sins

“You will cast into the depths of the sea all our sins; you will show faithfulness to Jacob, and grace to Abraham, as you have sworn to our fathers from days of old.” (MI 7: 19-20)

God is first in love, first in compassion and first in forgiveness. He is not afraid of our limits because His love is wider; He is not afraid of our weaknesses because His compassion is bigger; He is not afraid of our sins because His forgiveness is stronger. We can come to Him in all our circumstances, remembering His faithfulness not only to Jacob, Abraham and “our fathers from days of old,” but also to us.

“I will get up and go to my father and shall say to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you.” (Gospel Verse)
