In her many writings, St. Thérèse of Lisieux often spoke of God’s merciful love, noting his tender gaze upon us, his children, who so often go astray. As a matter of fact, that is why God sent his beloved Son Jesus: to redeem us, to save us from our errant ways so that we could enjoy the security of being in our Father’s house forever.

Thérèse was so confident in God’s merciful love that her image of God was not of a merciless judge, but rather of a merciful Father who gently carries his children in his loving arms. Indeed, she would sigh, “I assure you that the good Lord is much kinder than you can imagine.” How is it that we, his children, can extend that merciful love to those around us?
