I’m a Protestant, regardless I love this video and how this priest explains mercy. Though Catholics and Protestants don’t see eye to eye on everything I love my brothers and sisters in Christ who are Catholic. Once again, loved this video!
I love this! I used to think Catholicism was so morbid and focused on how awful we as humans are. My mind started to change about this when I began watching lizziesanswers here on TH-cam. In one of her videos she addressed how the idea of "mercy" in the church is different than what the regular world thinks of it. We have been programmed to associate the word "mercy" with someone threatening to kill/torture us and us in turn begging them not to do it, i.e. "HAVE MERCY!!!!" Lizzie explained that the greek word for mercy actually is the same word for olive oil (if this is incorrect, please do let me know!) and that in ancient times olive oil was used as a healing salve in medicine. So in mass when we say "have mercy," it has nothing to do with God's "wrath," but rather it's more like saying "heal us from our pain and struggles." I think that is so beautiful and I wish I had known it sooner. The analogy you gave in this video is wonderful.
Wow! This was touching. I'm Protestant and was searching online for more information on mercy. This explanation almost brought me to tears. And the idea that mercy is forgiveness in action gives me a good understanding of what Matthew 5:7 is calling believers to do. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you teacher! People often say "God is LOVE" which is true,... and that we are saved by Grace, which is true,... but within those two terms,... if I were asked "What is God's greatest attribute",... or,... "Which of His attributes am I most appreciative of?",... hands down,... it has always struck me as His amazing Mercy,... because I am so lost without it. Thank you for explaining this so well! God bless.
God's Grace is greater than All our sin. Thank you for the Cross Jesus Christ. For the sake of Your sorrowful Passion have Mercy on us and on the whole world in Jesus Christ Name Amen. Jesus Christ is the face of God the Father's Mercy. What an Amazing thought. Thank you! I loved this video. God Bless you!
Beautiful homily! Thank God for His Divine Mercy! Thank God, for the Novena of Divine Mercy and its chaplet along with Divine Mercy Sunday (the Sunday after Easter)!
This video blew my mind, thank you so much father Chris!! I thought I was unforgivable even after the sacrament of reconciliation, but you opened my eyes!! Thank you !!
Father you make mi ni live in myself again with this talk becouse I considered tho mis horrible person in the worold I loved the examples you gave about his mercy God bless your mouth an d live
All the people in the comment that said this is nice this is good ....... You people never have to forgive or have mercy on someone who destroyed a lot of things in your life I'm glad you're not in that place I advice you to pray so hard not to find yourself in that situation.
I heard someone once said about someone who hurted them "if that person went to heaven I don't want to go to heaven" and I think they said they forgave them but they still were in pain because of that person. when I heard that story I felt their pain because I'm in the same situation and I was saying I forgave them too. At that moment I said to myself how would I feel if I see that person in heaven immediately I felt pain and anger in my heart that is when I realized the deference between forgiveness and mercy and I'm still working on it but now I'm trying to have mercy on them the pain is so bad sometimes I cry but I'm fighting with myself. To make it easy I tell myself that there is no pain no hatred no suffering in heaven so I will not be sad if I see them there so it's better not only to forgive them but also to have mercy on them. It's NOT easy but I'm trying
What a great explanation of the mercy of God. Unfortunately we did not have God's mercy on July 19, 2018 when my daughter's 6yr old daughter was drowned. Because of 2 irresponsible 25 yr olds, my beautiful granddaughter died. One of the 25 yr olds was her cousin, my grandson. Aliyah's parents, her sister and brother are destroyed. This has pushed them further away from God. It has been 9 months of deep sorrow and pain. We have been praying but it is difficult not to ask why and not to keep asking God to please bring her back.
When once I asked the Lord Jesus how He could tolerate so many sins and crimes and not punish them, the Lord answered me, I have eternity for punishing [these], and so I am prolonging the time of mercy for the sake of [sinners]. But woe to them if they do not recognize this time of My visitation. My daughter, secretary of My mercy, your duty is not only to write about and proclaim My mercy, but also to beg for this grace for them, so that they too may glorify My mercy. Diary Faustina Kowalska 1 1160
Gods Mercy is when HE Gives each and every person..that which HE knows they Need. Our Mercy is when we refrain from judging another person..because we do not know what they need.
I have a friend of mine, God bless her though, that has not made the best of choices. I still love her to death, because I remember her specifically telling me, that she wants unconditional love. She was raised not even knowing who her father is, by a mother with mental problems, and one of her stepfathers committed suicide, and although I've definitely have my spats with her, I'm actually very glad she's my friend, because I believe that if you give Mercy, you get Mercy. She was a self-harmer for a little while, and that is something that I recovered from, I'm 31, the last time I cut myself I was 18 , and I remember talking to her about it, and instead of yelling at her or scolding her, I asked her the one question that we need to ask the people that we love when they do something that harms others or ourselves, and that question is "why"? I still think she makes some terrible decisions, and I will tell her as such, but I will never judge the state of her soul, because there are some things she may not be culpable of. I wish I could phrase more eloquently, but I hope I've made my point.
To be fair all I hear these days is mercy, Catholics have seemingly completely forgotten what justice and punishment is. You can’t have mercy without justice and vice versa.
I went to goverment office and this mean woman treated me so bad and with arrogance she didnt grant me my car plates. but she made a mistake and gave me 100 dollars back. I went back and someone else gave me my plates. mean woman came by and acused me of taking 100 dollar. I made a point it was her fault and her boss said pay from ur own money... I went to atm and gave her 100 buck. I repaid her good for evil when i didnt have to. I had mercy on her. And prayed to soften her heart.
Mercy, what if that same criminal recommits murder by horrible means repeatedly once he leaves prison, when does Cesar step in? What does it take, how many must die. Mercy is fine for the repentant .
For the sake of His sorrowful passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world.

NikkiPog4444 I will say to you what the church has said to me, suffer well sister, suffer well.
@@MrMuugooVery nice of you. You should be ashamed
Maria B. It’s a statement the church tells us to do in our grief and pain, so I have no shame in saying it. Suffer well sister María.
Just EXCELLENT Father! Thank you so much. :-)
Beautiful message 🙏🏻🤗🙏🏻

"Compassion" is a buzz word nowadays, but we really need to re-assess the Christian word: mercy
Please pray for me. I’ve been struggling with some things.
Amen!!!!!
Thank you for teaching me about God's mercy. Can God forgive me for my complete lack of hope?

He is the youngest priest ive seen in a while.
Really? You should look around, he's actually on the older end compared to many other priests I've come across

Then maybe perhaps he looks younger:0
