The one who treated him with mercy

“‘Take care of him. If you spend more than what I have given you, I shall repay you on my way back.’ Which of these three, in your opinion, was neighbor to the robbers’ victim?’ He answered, ‘The one who treated him with mercy.’ Jesus said to him, ‘Go and do likewise.’” (LK 10: 35-37

Today we celebrate in Poland memory of St. Faustina Kowalska, the date when she was born for Heaven. She brought us a message from Our Lord about the most important characteristic of God’s love—He is merciful. Her mission was not only to remind us about His mercy but also to help us practice new ways of devotion to Divine Mercy and inspire us to “creativity in charity.” We are also invited: “Go and do likewise.”

“I give you a new commandment: love one another as I have loved you.” (Gospel Acclamation)
