The Lord Is Good and Forgiving

In this encouraging homily, Fr. Miguel reflects on the beautiful truth from today’s Psalm: “The Lord is good and forgiving, abounding in kindness to all who call upon him.”He reminds us that our image of God is often shaped by how we were raised — some see only punishment, others see mercy. Yet Scripture reveals the true God: merciful, gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in kindness and fidelity.Fr. Miguel draws from St. Francis of Assisi’s praises of God as the “highest good” and Mother Angelica’s call for us to be the good news to the world. It’s not enough to believe God is good — we are invited to embody His mercy, kindness, and forgiveness in our own lives.A practical and uplifting message: know the Lord’s goodness in your heart, and let it shine through you to others.
