No one who conceals transgressions will prosper, but one who confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy.”

As we prepare our hearts for Divine Mercy Sunday, we’re reminded of the greatest gift of mercy ever given: Christ’s sacrifice. Though we are sinful, fallen creatures, Christ in His mercy gave His life for us so that we could be freed from death and spend eternity with Him. Today, we invite you to reflect on these 10 verses as we joyfully praise God, thanking Him for giving us freedom and hope in His son Jesus.
