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. A love that pursues, a mercy that moves, and a Savior who never stops coming toward you.

Pre-evangelization
Before anything can catch fire, the material has to be ready. You need something combustible, something prepared to receive the spark.
In this Sunday’s Gospel, Jesus reminds us that the soil has to be ready before it can bear fruit. The same is true with evangelization. Before people are ready to hear the full message of the Gospel, their hearts are often prepared through goodness, truth, and beauty.
That’s the work of pre-evangelization, tilling the soil. When we promote truth, show goodness, and create beauty, we help prepare hearts to encounter Jesus and say yes to Him.

Struggling with Anxiety?
Anxiety hates clarity. It thrives in vague fears, worst-case scenarios, and the thoughts we keep trapped in our minds until they start to feel like monsters.
In this Sunday’s Gospel, Jesus tells us not to be afraid because He is with us. He knows every fear, every anxious thought, and every hidden place in our hearts, and with Him, there is clarity and peace.
One simple step is to bring those fears into the light: write them down, name the worst-case scenario, and let Jesus meet you there. He is the way, the truth, and the life. Being in His presence is where anxiety begins to lose its grip.
