From the heart of the Trinity, from the depth of the mystery of God,
a great river of mercy wells up and overflows unceasingly.
It is a spring that never dries up...because the mercy of God never ends.

“For his mercy endures forever.”
God always thinks mercifully.
He is the merciful Father!

“The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has anointed me to bring good tidings to the afflicted...”

MaryMOTHER OF MERCY
IX
Mary attests that the mercy of the Son of God knows no bounds
and extends to everyone, without exception.
Let us address her in the words of the Salve Regina, so that she may never tire of turning her merciful eyes upon us, and make us worthy to contemplate the face
of mercy, her Son Jesus.
