A Lenten Message by Sister Nancy Merkle, RSM
The season of Lent is one about focusing our energies on our Christian life. We remember God's great mercy to us through prayer and we find ways to extend that mercy to others through service and through almsgiving. Mercy is a virtue for everyone but particularly for us here at Mother of Mercy. We read repeatedly in the scriptures about how God is "gracious and merciful" to us. We must be examples of that same mercy to others throughout the year. The season of Lent, however, is a wonderful time to focus a special light on our living out if mercy in our daily lives.
