Blessed Are The Merciful

Fr. Groeschel considers the beatitude "Blessed are the merciful" and our response to God's mercy. Our response to God's mercy should be mercy itself. It's mercy of forgiveness, generosity, returning good for evil. It is the name of God as he comes into the world. Jesus Christ is mercy. His followers must be outstanding for their mercy. We see a lack of mercy today for the poor, the aged, the destitute, and children. What is the response of the Christ to these kinds of things? Mercy! This last episode is based on the last chapter of the Pope's encyclical on Divine Mercy. He talks about the types of the poor. We live in a dangerous and trouble times in the world. He talks about how to be merciful and making amend to those you have hurt. He talks about examining the conscience and do we show mercy?
