"My God, My Mercy." St Gregory the Great

"...bearing in mind that God sees our evil deeds and bears with them, that he puts up with our sins and still preserves us for his rewards because of repentance, he could not just speak of God as being merciful but called him mercy itself, saying: My God, My Mercy.
Let us then recall before our eyes the evil deeds we have done, let us consider with how much goodness God puts up with us, let us bear in mind the depth of his love.  He is not only lenient toward our sins, but he even promises the heavenly kingdom to those who repent after their sinning.  Let each of us say from the very depths of our hearts, let us all say, My God, My Mercy."
Makes me want to find reconcilliation soon!  Jesus, I am a sinner and I need to fall on my knees and get it off of my chest and my heart.  Your unending love for me makes me feel small and weak and humbles me, my Jesus!  May I grow less and less and you more and more!  I am a mess of a person, Lord.  I am nothing without YOU!  Jesus, I trust in you.  Amen and Halleluia
Bless-bless, Barb
St Gregory the Great, on this your feastday, pray for us!
