The God of mercy advises us to dole out mercy rather than offer the sacrifice of bulls or sheep, because he is the God of mercy, and without his mercy where would we be? Burnt offerings are no longer practiced, we can make the sacrifice of some favorite food, movie or TV show, as our "burnt offering" for the good of others, besides benefiting from needed self-discipline. We are the recipients of God's endless mercy, and as such our mercy should as much a humanly, boosted by divine grace, match his. As we go about this day, let us pray for the grace to act with mercy towards others, particularly those who irk or annoy us, even those who downgrade and belittle us...In the end, it is mercy that will triumph.
