Strength in Scripture.

The Paschal Mystery shows us that God is merciful. He sacrificed his only son to offer us eternal life. As Psalm 145: 8-9 states, “The Lord is gracious and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in mercy. The Lord is good to all, and his compassion is over all that he has made.” As humans, we are a central part of God’s creation. We are responsible for caring for, catering to, and appreciating the other aspects of God’s creation. We are made in the image and likeness of God. Our work has special value and we possess great dignity. The Lord created us each with individual souls. We all have a purpose in life, each, like our souls, is different. We must embrace our individual gifts that we have been given. If we refuse to offer our talents to God and those around us, we will not live up to our potential as prominent components in the workings of this planet that we inhabit.
