Third Sunday in Lent

from FaithIsland

Justice and Mercy are not opposites. They are both necessary parts of our earthly life. Henri Nouwen wrote, “We tend to be compassionate to the extent that we have suffered the Passion in our own lives.” If we view life through the cross of Jesus, our own pain and suffering and failures and losses - the manure of our life - tend to make us more understanding of others - and the "grammar of justice is softened by the poetry of mercy."
