Mercy, not Sacrifice...

"If you had known what these words mean, ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice,’ you would not have condemned the innocent."
Matthew 12:7 NIV

Reflection:
It is so easy to condemn someone for their wrong doing, yet so difficult to encourage someone to get up. Perhaps life struggles entangle us so much that our focus remains on the problem rather than on the Hope that comes for Christ. As you go through your day today pay attention to your thoughts and actions. And ask ourselves 'what would Jesus do?'

Prayer:
I pray that God our Father gives you the grace to embrace his love, poured out to you unconditionally. May you be covered and protected by the most Holy and Precious blood of his son Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour. And may his Holy Spirit lead you to an understanding of God's ways. Amen

God Bless you and your loved ones :)
