It was very similar to the homily I heard yesterday afternoon - the priest came as close to saying "abortion" as any priest I've ever heard out here(with the notable exception of one OCD priest).<br /><br />Justice - righteousness - mercy. Tied in well with the reading. Really appreciated the fourth paragraph.<br /><br />"God's mercy passes sentence on the sin and forgives the sinner." Nicely worded!<br />"Lent is our time to stare intently at the dirt to see if our names are written there." Really liked that sentence.<br />"But no sin...can forever chain a soul in servitude when the Father's forgiveness is freely offered and freely received." Amen! <br /><br />Thank you!Shellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05485793986602894527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18842286.post-59464546661835445572013-03-17T15:50:39.775-05:002013-03-17T15:50:39.775-05:00I did.
