The Lord relented in the punishment 

„Let your blazing wrath die down; relent in punishing your people. Remember your servants Abraham, Isaac and Israel, and how you swore to them by your own self, saying, ‘I will make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky; and all this land that I promised, I will give your descendants as their perpetual heritage.’ So the LORD relented in the punishment he had threatened to inflict on his people.” (EX 32: 13-14)

The power of intercessory prayer. Moses begged the Lord: „relent in punishing your people” and reminded Him why. And God answered Moses’ prayer. „So the Lord relented in the punishment he had threatened to inflict on his people.” We also can use the same intercessory prayer for our spouses, children, friends and the whole Church. God always answers prayer.

„God so loved the world that he gave his only-begotten Son, so that everyone who believes in him might have eternal life.” (Gospel Acclamation)
