The power of God’s mercy

This Friday in the 2nd week of Lent offers two dramatic stories. The story of Joseph in the Book of Genesis 37 and the parable of the wicked tenants. We live in communities and families, where we find jealousy and betrayal. Lent invites us to avoid the attitude of jealousy of Joseph's brothers and selfishness and greed of the wicked tenants. Even in difficult circumstances and in our stubbornness, God cares and has the power to save us. He is running after us. God invites us to be good stewards with expected good fruits. He calls us to forgive our brothers as Joseph did. God’s mercy is always available for us so that we may become the conduit of God’s forgiveness and mercy.

Jesus, I trust in you
