Encountering Mercy

Giuliana and Sofia have a conversation about mercy, “love’s second name.” How does God’s mercy reach us in our everyday lives, particularly in our sins and failings? What do our experiences of God’s mercy mean for our relationships with others? What are the fruits of seeking and extending forgiveness? //

Our weekly challenge is to apologize to someone you have wronged. And our media recommendation is the song Fire of Time by David Ramirez. //
