the mercy of God

the mysterious mercy of God is upon us
sometimes it is gentle
sometimes it is brutal
it comes as success
it comes as failure
sometimes it is a whisper
other times it roars like a lion
we see it in healing
we see it in sickness
we kiss it in peace
we wrestle it in struggle
it is often only after it leaves that we say, "that was the mercy of God"
it is Gethsemane
it is the scourging at the post
it is the cross
 the empty tomb
it is the Eucharist!
the mysterious mercy of God is upon us.
