What if mercy isn’t passive, but moving toward you?
In the Divine Mercy image, Jesus isn’t just standing still, He’s stepping forward, coming toward us. His mercy is active, not distant. Even when we turn away, even when we sin, He doesn’t wait for us to make the first move, He comes after us. That’s the heart of who Jesus is.

In this Sunday’s Gospel, Jesus confronts temptation directly, and rejects it with clarity and authority. We’re invited to do the same. Whether it’s lust, gossip, pride, anger, or any other struggle, we don’t fight alone. We dare to use His name.
